beware the ice-toker

[clareh_g]

you should not put ice into your bong to cool the smoke, instead put warm water in the bong. the ice makes the smoke turn into water vapor which condenses in your lungs. it's never a good thing having water in your lungs, pneumonia anyone?

however, the ice cools down the smoke, preventing it from burning your lungs. yes? good idea?

i found a website (and i wish to god i could remember where it was...) about how to do drugs safely (wherein 'safely' is an awfully subjective word) and it explained that the best way to smoke pot is in a double-chambered glass bong - one chamber with warm water and the other with cold water. glass is the least likely material to give off dirty residue when you smoke from it, the warm water can help to filter some more ickiness, and like i mentioned before, the cold water then cools it down to avoid burning burning pain.

but true, if you only have one chamber, warm water is probably ideal... although much less tasty, haha.
