the only way i smoke weed is out of my hookah and it gets you fucked up. First of all, fill your bowl with shisha and add your ground up herb ontop. filling the bowl with straight weed is stupid and a waste. You need charcoals, using a lighter on the shisha will just burn the molasses in the shisha and it will be really harsh and taste like shit. As for needing a cheap hookah to smoke weed out of, thats bullshit. You should clean your hookah anyway. I clean mine every 4 bowls or so. Mine breaks down in to many smaller, easy to clean pieces but even if yours doesnt, you can boil it to get the tobacco out. Boiling your hookah wont remove the resin though, you will need either a hookah cleaning brush, or i use a gun cleaning rod and metal gun scrubbing tip. 420 cleaner works wonders also. Before i got my hookah i got on forums, includeing this one and there were alot of people that say smoking hookah is a waste of weed and blah blah blah. Well supposedly vaporizing is supposed to be the best way to smoke your bud. The coal bakes the weed at about the same temp as a vaporizer does so its very similar. Vaps work at like 150-200 degrees. Hookah charcoals are around that, may be up to around 30 degrees but they dont actually burn the shisha or weed, they bake it.
