How Does a Bong Work? Benefits, Risks, and Myths

If you're into cannabis and find bongs fascinating, this guide is for you! We are going to run through you need to know about intriguing devices, debunk a few myths along the way, and share just perfect for bong amateurs. The key thing? Safety first! Let's light up this topic, metaphorically speaking of course.

So How does a Bong Really Work?

From my personal experiences, a bong functions pretty simply. You draw in smoke through a tube!

• Get your preferred filler into the bong's bowl, here are some options. Then watch the magic happen as it fills with smoke after you light it up.
• Are we moving too fast? Don't worry, once you suck on the stem, that smoke takes a pleasant trip through water stored at the base of your bong and voila - it's ready to be inhaled!
• The cool part is: This water not only cools your smoke but also filters out impurities offering you smoother puffs. Who wouldn't love that?

A Better Option for the Lungs or Not?

The debate remains on using bongs being safer , isn't it? Yes, water traps larger particles but ironically enough it also holds onto free radicals potentially harmful for your lungs. It could perhaps pose more risk than no filter at all!

Bongs Bear Harm Then?

Nah! It's not fruitfully proven yet if bongs are any worse than other smoke inhalation methods. It's probably the same ballpark, but best to take care and not risk. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Oh, Those Bong Myths!

Unsurprisingly, the 'bong world' has quite a few myths.

• Nope! Bongs don't get you higher compared to other methods. After all, the same amount of THC gets into your bloodstream irrespective of how you introduce it.
• Also, let's burst that bubble too – using bong water is safe. It won't infect you! It merely filters smoke particles and never actually makes contact with your lungs.
