Edibles:

• tend to last longer (6+hrs vs ~3hrs for inhaled forms to wear off)
• are, generally, more potent in terms of effect (pain relief, mood elevation, and so on)
• give you more of a “body high” than a “head rush”, if that makes sense
• take a while to kick in (resist the urge calling out to you telling you to take another, you will regret that second brownie more than you could know)

Joint: weed wrapped in thin paper, smoked like a cigarette.

Blunt: A thick joint wrapped in tobacco leaves instead of paper.

Bong: Something that allows you to smoke weed and have the smoke pass through water to cool it before you inhale it. This allows you to take big rips and get very, very high, very quickly.

all in all, I consider any method of actually combusting weed to be inferior, to tell you the truth. Let me tell you about my friend the dry herb vaporizer, where you get your pot hot but not on fire, hot enough that a significant portion of the THC on your pot is able to be carried away by water vapor coming off the pot that you inhale. It tastes and smells nicer than weed smoke, it doesn’t leave behind that smell that clings to fabrics like weed smoke, and what of the rest of your THC? Well, if you save your already toasted pot in a baggie, and then grind that shit up real fine with a coffee grinder, you now have an easy to use brown powder that you can add to brownies or fudge or whatever else you want to make edibles. You get to enjoy the same pot twice.

I want to give a shoutout to a particular kind of dry herb vaporizer, the Dynavap, for being economical as fuck too. Gets you very high off of tiny amounts of weed, it’s genuinely great. Combined with being able to enjoy the same pot twice, I consider it a necessity in these fucked, economically uncertain times. There are downsides (it’s fiddly, it doesn’t produce very thick clouds if you use an induction heater instead of a lighter, you can fuck up and overheat it and then you’re smoking pot through a titanium tube[not pleasant], the screen is fragile if you’re not careful with it and irritating/not cheap to replace, etc.) but for stretching out your supply of drugs, accept no substitutes.
