ike with any special dish, all the right ingredients and tools are necessary to ensure your recipe for packing the perfect bowl is a success. There are secrets to layering a successfully delicious, potent bowl of cannabis, and here is how CULTURE does it.
Pick a Flower:
Booming recreational and medical cannabis industries means that we have choices, people! Do you want an indica, sativa or hybrid? What characteristics matter most to you—Body effects, taste, smell, physical attributes? If you’re not sure which way to go, check out our strain reviews for more direction!
Find the Perfect Bowl:
When it comes to choosing a bowl, you have to pick the proper size and shape. You might need a different size depending upon if you’re packing a bowl for a group of friends compared to if you are loading up a serious one hitter for yourself. You should also take into account the flower you’ve chosen to make sure your bowl is a good size and shape. Big, dense, loose buds aren’t going to do well jam-packed into a bell-shaped bowl compared to a wide, shallow bowl. It’s all about airflow.
Choose a Topping:
Thank goodness for waxes, shatter, oils, hash, kief and every other cannabis concentrate that has been perfected over the years. With a world of options, choose wisely, and proceed with caution. Adding in any of these strong toppings will absolutely elevate the high factor of this bowl, so it is only recommended for experienced participants.
Just Add Water?
One great addition to any bowl is water filtration. Whether you’re looking for a little more discretion and opt to use a small bubbler, or if you’re able to get your hands on a five-foot water pipe with multiple percolators and an ice catcher, a little water never hurt anyone . . . especially for those who chose a topping! Cool down that fire a little bit, and remember to keep it clean.
Pick your Fire:
We personally choose our favorite, most trusted disposable butane lighter brand that will remain otherwise nameless. However, there are compelling reasons to use a hemp wick instead of a lighter. With a hemp wick, you’re not breathing in harsh chemicals, the cannabis burns at a lower heat making it less harsh, and the wick gives you better control over the fire. Another cool way to consume cannabis is with a magnifying glass and the sun—solar bowls anyone?
