Hand Pipes
About the Category
Hand pipes are the most common way to smoke THC flower. Hand pipes sit in the palm of your hand and are composed of a bowl in which you pack the flower and a stem from which you inhale the smoke. There is a hole in the bottom of the bowl that allows smoke to travel through the stem as well as a larger hole on the side, known as a carb, that allows smokers to regulate air flow.

Here's how to use your hand pipe:
Step 1: Grind
Take a small amount of cannabis flower and break it up with your hands or a grinder.
Step 2: Pack
Pack the cannabis into the bowl of the pipe. The key is to not overpack the bowl. Packing the cannabis too tightly will restrict airflow, making it harder to smoke.
Step 3: Cover the Carb
Hold the pipe in the palm of your hand and place your finger or thumb over the carb, which depending on the type of pipe you're using, will either be on the side of the end of your pipe. If you're using a one-hitter, there's no carb to cover.
Step 4: Light It
Spark your lighter close to the surface of the bowl and inhale, keeping your finger on the carb. This will draw the flame to the bowl, ignite the flower, and create the smoke to inhale through the stem.
Step 5: Inhale
Once your flower starts to combust and cherry (the hot red part), lift the flame away from the bowl. You can keep the cherry burning by covering and uncovering the carb using a tapping motion while you inhale.
Step 6: Exhale and Repeat
Exhale and repeat until you've smoked all the cannabis in the bowl.
