Here are a few suggestions of what you should look for when trying to select a bong for enjoying your legal high.  Take your own personal preferences into consideration when you are looking at the different aspects of this.

Bongs are manufactured from a variety of materials today, but the most common two are acrylic or glass.  However, you can also find ceramic and wooden bongs as well.  (Here’s a hint:  if you are prone to dropping things, stay away from ceramic or glass bongs.)

They are available in a wide variety of designs, shapes, and sizes so it is wise to choose one that fits comfortably in your hand as well as being easy to light and smoke.  Again, if you are a bit on the clumsy size, you want to consider a bong size that you can handle without fear of dropping it and breaking it.

Finally, consider how the bong is going to be used.  In other words, will you be primarily the only person smoking it or will you be intending it for group use, or both? If it is going to be primarily used in a group setting, we suggest a multi-pipe bong.

The hookah originated in India and is part of the culture throughout the Middle East but recently it has gained popularity in Europe, Australia, North America and Brazil. One of the more popular hookahs types is known as the Malabar hookah and comes from the city of Koyilandy.

The hookah has a number of alternative names: in Arabic the pipe is referred to as a shisha and this is the most common name used in the Persian Gulf states. Meanwhile, Islamic countries close to the eastern Mediterranean such as Turkey, Cyprus, Jordan and Syria enjoy a narghile. In Croatia and Albania the hookah is a Lula, while in Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina the pipe is called a nargile.

Hookah pipes are most common in the Arab world, where the smoking of flavoured tobacco has entered their tradition and culture. It is estimated that Arabs are the biggest users of shisha pipes worldwide. Nearly all cafés offer shisha smoking and the cafés are the centre of Arab social life, being likened to the bars and pubs in the Western world.
 
Because of the increase in smoking bans across Europe and North America, many hookah cafés have begun to offer a smoking experience by using non-tobacco mu’assel, a mixture of molasses and honey.

Lower concentrations of carbon monoxide and other noxious gases have been documented and are key benefits whenever you are smoking your herbal mixture using a vaporizer.  When you compare the use of a vaporizer to the other methods of ingestion for getting a legal high, there is a more rapid onset of the desired “pharmacological” effect.  Additionally, the delivery of the vapour into the bloodstream is more direct.

From a health standpoint, smoking your herbal blends through a vaporizer is better for you than using a blunt, bong, or pipe to attain your legal high.  Although a bong offers the advantage of a cooler smoke free from particulate matter, the herbal mixture is still incinerated instead of vaporized.  Vaporizing provides you with the same desired effect that incineration does.  However, you are only being subjected to essential natural elements and not some of the toxins that you typically would ingest when you incinerate your herbal mixture.

Multi-pipe bongs are an upgraded version of the standard bong and have the advantage of being able to facilitate multiple smokers at the same table without having to pass it around.  These types of bongs are an excellent device for parties and social gatherings.  Up to four smokers can enjoy a multi-pipe bong.  Multi-pipe bongs have become extremely popular with teenagers and college students who enjoy smoking legal herbs.

Another advantage of using a bong of this nature is that you do not need to pass it around like a standard bong.  In fact, if you just want to leave it set in the centre or your table your guests can still enjoy smoking the herbal mixture without having to pass it from one person to the next. 

In addition to the exterior pipes, there are also channels of pipes in the bong’s interior chambers. These channels of pipes also serve to filter out any of the impurities resulting from the smoke.  The typical multi-pipe bong is made from glass.  However, other materials have proven to be a viable choice for many individuals as well.  These other materials include acrylic, ceramic, metal, and even wood.  Again, the type of material is a matter of personal preference.

Various legal, seemingly ordinary herbs and other ingredients can be combined to create a potent effect. These herbs include California Poppy, bearberry, acerola, damiana, rou gui, kola nut, yerba mate and even the old cooking favourite, plain old sage!

Aside from straightforward herbs, there are even some foods that can be consumed to achieve that legal high. Rye bread is one of those, providing it contains the fungus known as ergot, as are nutmeg that includes myristicin. Coffee, mulberries, stilton cheese (with tryptophan, a relaxant) and sarpa salpa fish (which contain numerous chemicals that are psychoactive in nature) are other ‘stimulating’ foods. Of course, in food form, a tremendous amount would have to be consumed to achieve the desired effect; concentrated herbs are generally the way to go. 

There are a surprising number of ways to get high without breaking any laws and in most cases without serious health risks of the kind associated with banned drugs. So many, in fact, that it is surprising so many people choose to break the law and risk life and limb rather than go with the legal alternatives.

Not only are RooR Bongs some of the finest glass bongs on the market, they are all hand-blown.  Additionally, most online retailers that handle this brand also carry the related accessories which are made to the same quality standards.  Each RooR Bong is individually made so no two are completely identical.  These bongs are nothing short of elegant where both design and functionality are concerned.

The quality of the RooR Bong stems from the fact that the company uses the optimum ratio of volume to water, which has been scientifically proven.  Smoking enthusiasts who enjoy their legal highs will tell you that this is the case and it gives the individual a more pleasurable and smoother smoke.  Most of the websites that sell RooR Bongs include RooR glass gauze and a complimentary herb grinder as well.  Just make sure that you research several retailers so that you can find the highest quality product at the best value before making your decision.

If you don’t have the budget to purchase a bong, why not make your own? It’s fairly easy to do as not a lot of talent is required to make one, depending on how unique you want it to look.  In some instances, you can find the materials to construct it out of just by searching through items in your home.  You also have the option of visiting some smoke shops and purchasing the separate materials necessary, or you can shop online for a homemade bong kit and instructions.

You would be surprised at the number of sites online that offer information on building your own bong.  In addition to the instructions, many of these sites offer illustrations and even videos showing you the step-by-step process.  Just beware that there are some sites that charge you a fee for the instructions and/or the information.  The bottom line is that this is a great idea for a DIY project if your budget won’t allow you to purchase something more lavish.

User reviews indicate that it also creates a feeling of lightness in the limbs and a sensation of the world slowing down around you. Giggle is based primarily on geranium, which is why it is a legal high. There are other ingredients as well; all are listed on the back of the product, yet none of them fall into the “banned” category. Those other ingredients are very important, however, as geranium on its own will not create a high. So, raiding your next door neighbour’s flower beds is not recommended.

Giggle is generally regarded as being completely safe, although it has attracted a mild degree of media concern in Australia in particular. Coming in (tasteless) pill form, it is recommended that it be taken on an empty stomach (with either water or fruit juice) in order for it to achieve the maximum impact on your system. More pills can be taken after a two hour waiting period if required.

As is almost always the case, Giggle is not recommended for pregnant women or people with heart conditions or high blood pressure and any warnings on the pack should be followed. Giggle is legal both in the United Kingdom and pretty much everywhere in the world and can be easily purchased online.

I love dressing up on a night out and depending on how I feel I might want to go as a fairy, or as a superhero, or as a crazed zombie. I can’t remember the last party I had that wasn’t fancy dress, and I’ve been using coloured contact lenses for ages to add an extra dimension to my costume.

If I’m out clubbing and want to be noticed from the oher side of the club I use UV contacts lenses. When we’re in the pub before hand they look like a single solid colour and draw plenty of attention but when we get in the club and under the UV lights, wow! They glow as brightly as any glow stick and become a massive talking point meaning I get to make new friends. Take that, boring, non-coloured, normal eyes!

For fancy dress outside of the club the possibilities are endless. For Halloween if I want to look like one of the living dead I can go for either a solid black or solid white lens. Or maybe if I wanted to go a bit more ’28 Days Later’ I could go for a Rage style lens.

I  went to a party recently where the theme of the party was the letter ‘C.’ I didn’t have much time to plan for a costume so went as a cat, complete with realistic looking cat’s eyes! Simple!

Sometimes, of course, I just fancy looking a little different to how I normally do, and in those instances I can use totally natural looking lenses that either enhance what I have naturally or completely transform me while still retaining a completely natural look. I wouldn’t be without my lenses!

Golden root is used for many things – not just for the purposes of getting high. A plant in the Crassulaceae family, the herb has a strong reputation for having a very positive effect on mood in human beings, helping to alleviate depression, reduce tiredness and even improve both mental and physical performance.

It is believed that taking golden root increases the levels of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain, and this is the reason for it’s positive impact, making people more alert and aware and generally feeling much more positive. Golden root comes from the same group of plant derivatives that also produces nicotine, yet it does not have the same negative consequences.

The positive effects of golden root are not a new discovery; it has been used for centuries in places such as Russia and Scandinavia as a way to cope with stress and the extremely cold climate of those areas. It is also a long standing ingredient in traditional forms of Chinese medicine.

A slightly lesser known benefit of golden root is for people who become sick while travelling to high altitudes, the herb apparently helps to alleviate these symptoms in some cases. There is also an unproven school of thought that the herb can even help to prevent disease. In any case, there are no negative health consequences, so golden root is considered safe and very much a “legal high”.
