The Straight Toke - THE Marijuana Blog

Some of you may have heard of CannabisNews.com, or The Media Awareness Project. These news aggregation sites offer a frequently-updated collection of marijuana-related news articles.

Recently, I've started to use another site for my pot-related news: CannabisNews.org. This ad-free, non-commercial site offers a rather nice categorization of marijuana news by country: so if you're looking for pot news in the US, Canada, or the United Kingdom, it might be a good idea to check them out.

hey, i was wondering, what is the best way to smoke out of a pipe?

I bought i pipe (like with a screen) not too long ago (because i was
sick of rolling joints) and i noticed that i dint know what was
better, either putting a flame on your "product" every single time or
trying to get it to glow and thus allowing you to only inhale with out
adding additional heat... Thanks for your time

ohhh and while im emailing you, i was wondering, is smoking weed from
a light bulb bad for you (like is there any chemicals in the light
bulb that could be harmful) and same for tin foil...

Ideally when smoking from a pipe, one should try to use only as much flame as is necessary to cause the marijuana to ignite. Once your weed is lit, it should stay burning/smoldering on its own. Of course if it's damp, this may not happen -- which is why it's important to dry and store your weed correctly.

I don't know if you've covered this or not, but I've been wondering about the whole cottonmouth phenomenon.

For the longest time I always assumed cottonmouth was directly related to the act of smoking, but then when I got more into edibles I discovered it can be just as bad if not worse. Is there something in cannabis that shuts off salivary glands?

Well I haven't covered it, but I don't see why I shouldn't. ;-)

1)Can you really just sprinkle any ol' weed on top of food and eat it? I know that eating it keeps the effects longer, but I don't want to waste any.
2)Also, am I getting ripped off for paying 70$ a quarter for various types of cannibus [sic] that are basically average?
