Chillums are all the craze right now. These straight pipes with a narrow mouthpiece and a wider bowl at the other end, hold a critical part in Indian history. Chillums have been commonly used by sadhus devoted to Lord Shiva as a way of being closer to higher powers. In the 1960s-70s, the chillum gained popularity with Western hippies who adopted it and took it back to the USA. Since then, chillums have been used worldwide for both spiritual and recreational use, being embraced in places like Jamaica and South America.
HOW TO USE CHILLUM
All you need to do to smoke a chillum is follow three simple steps:
Step 1: Pack the bowl with your preferred herbs. Ensure its reasonably tight.
Step 2: Hold the chillum vertically in one hand and slide the mouthpiece between the pinkie and ring finger on the other hand. You then cup both hands together as if you’re warming your hands in the cold.
Step 3: Carefully light your bowl evenly and use your hands’ cup motion to preserve the heat.
LEGALITY OF CHILLUM
The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985 prohibits production and sale of canna flower buds, resin and any products made from these but smoking paraphernalia isn’t covered in this act, which includes Bongs, Pipes, Rolling Papers and most importantly to the discussion, chillums.
In some areas, chillums can be locally considered as drug paraphernalia. It's always ideal to check local laws regarding possession and use of smoking devices. Laws vary widely by region. Make sure to verify the legal status of chillum use in your area before purchasing or using one. Chillums are widely available online and in stores, though it's good to check on the legality.
