Are you feeling bored with your usual toking routine? Looking to add a little something extra to your smoke sesh? With so many options available in some places and so few in others, cannabis can definitely inspire creativity, starting with the ways that it can be consumed. Here are a few simple suggestions to get started:
1. Twax that Joint
Rolling up a joint for a smoke at home? While fine flowers are essential to any joint, wrapping it in hash oil will certainly give it an extra kick. Simply take some shatter, pull-and-snap BHO or rosin and roll it between your fingers into a long, thin snake form. Then, starting at the tip of the joint, wrap the snake around the doobie, almost like a candy cane. Keep in mind that the hash will make the joint burn longer, and may even drip if the snake is too thick. If the hash is too sticky to roll, try coating the outside paper of the joint with oil using a dab tool, then rolling it in kief. For a more convenient option, roll up the snake of hash oil before assembling the joint and lay it gently in the middle before rolling it up, or coat the inside of the paper before adding the weed.
2. Toast Up Some Treats
If you’re a dabber, you likely already have a blowtorch in your arsenal. But did you know that it can be used for more than just heating up a nail? Crème brûlée may seem like the obvious choice for torched treats, but it isn’t the easiest thing to whip up in the kitchen. Instead, try toasting marshmallows – no campfire required. Spear a marshmallow on a metal skewer, fire up the torch, and apply a light roast. Toasted marshmallows make a perfect topping for a weed brownie or cookie, and are also delicious all on their own!
3. Veg Out (or Get Fruity)
Any hollowed-out fruit or vegetable with a solid outside has the potential to be a pipe! Pineapple, coconut, watermelon, even giant zucchinis – the key is to make a clean cut through the rind to remove the top of the produce, then hollow out the inside as much as needed for airflow while still being able to replace the top to create an airtight seal. Then, drill two holes – one for the bowl of the pipe and one for the mouthpiece (or three for an optional carb). For an extra chill factor, add ice to the inside of the fruit (but be mindful of the water as it melts) or stick the pipe in the freezer before passing it around. And don’t forget to enjoy the watermelon chunks, coconut water, or whatever remnants of the pipe remain as you smoke.
