What is a BONG?
A bong is a type of water pipe used for smoking various substances, most commonly weed. It consists of a cylindrical tube or chamber, typically made of glass, but it can also be constructed from other materials like acrylic, ceramic, or metal. The basic components of a bong include:
-
Bowl or Shooter: The bowl is the part of the bong where you place the substance you want to smoke, such as dried cannabis flowers or tobacco.
-
Downstem: The downstem is a tube that extends into the water chamber of the bong. It directs the smoke from the bowl down into the water, where it is filtered and cooled before inhalation.
-
Water Chamber: The water chamber is the main body of the bong that holds water. When you inhale through the mouthpiece, the smoke is drawn through the water, which helps to cool it and filter out some impurities, providing a smoother smoking experience.
-
Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece is the part of the bong that you put your mouth to when inhaling. It's usually located at the top of the water chamber.
How to use a Bong?
To use a bong, you typically fill the water chamber with enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem but not so much that it splashes into the bowl. You then place your substance in the bowl, light it, and start inhaling while covering the carb (if the bong has one) or removing the bowl to clear the chamber of smoke.
Is Bong Legal in India?
In India, cannabis is classified as a controlled substance, and its use, possession, and sale are generally prohibited under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. However, some states in India have implemented their own regulations related to the use and possession of cannabis, which can sometimes lead to variations in enforcement and penalties.
As for bongs and other smoking devices, they are typically considered legal to possess and use for smoking tobacco, but their legality for cannabis use can be more ambiguous and subject to local interpretation and enforcement. In some states, possession of bongs or other paraphernalia used for consuming cannabis may be considered illegal, while in others, it may not be explicitly prohibited.
How to Clean a Glass Bong?
To clean a Glass bong, disassemble it and empty any water and residue. Fill a plastic bag with 90% isopropyl alcohol, add coarse salt, and submerge the glass components, sealing openings if possible. Shake and soak for 30+ minutes. Scrub away residue with pipe cleaners or brushes, focusing on crevices. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until clean. Allow components to air dry completely before reassembling. Regular cleaning maintains the bong's function and hygiene, ensuring a better smoking experience.
How to Clean a Plastic Bong?
To clean a plastic bong, disassemble it and discard any water and residue. Rinse components with hot water to remove loose debris. Fill a basin with hot, soapy water, and submerge all plastic parts. Optionally, add salt as an abrasive agent. Scrub the interior with bristle brushes or pipe cleaners, paying attention to crevices. Rinse thoroughly with hot water until no soap or residue remains. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembly. Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent staining and odors in plastic bongs. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plastic during the cleaning process.
