People do use them for weed. Use the search thing and u'll find a topic about someone using them and saying it was good. Google it i reckon. If you know any science teachers ask them cause they can probbaly tell ya whats released when it burns if anything.

hahaha ya that would be an awkward conversation...except my chem teacher used to do a lot of hard drugs so.
but anyway back on topic. Iv heard the clear ones are alright, but the ones that are tinted white or whatever are bad, im not really sure so dont trust me but thats what iv heard

after you get it opened put in a little bit of salt and swirl it around to remove the white chemical inside.
OR...
put some water in it and swirl it around, THEN
let it dry upside down.

^^ that works, or just use a clear lightbulb. be sure that none of the stuff inside it brakes or cracks open, im pretty sure it contains mercury and you dont want that inside you. other than that, a lot of people use lightbulbs to smoke meth, opium, or anything that will go through a screen.

I have no clue how true this is but I heard using florecent light bulbs could give you a fairly good chance of cancer

I think I'd rather use a clear one than use a washed-out frosty one. At least you get to see the smoke in the clear one

Does this really work as good as it reads?
I've been wondering for a while if a vapourizer might be a bit better for me rather than smoking pipes all the time; which really fucks my asthma...bah!

yeah man. just put the lightbulb above a flame till you see vapours rise from the bud and inhale it. ahhh you hvae to close off the opening when vapourizing with a bulb though

I've gotten so tired of my pipe I use a homemade bong more than it. Bigger rips

. I've never tried a lightbulb vaporizer because I'm too lazy to go over to Zellers or whatever and buy a 100W bulb.
