I tried it again last night. I did a little better this time. I used less bud, and still got super high. Something about the hits I get are so much bigger than when I use a bong or bubbler.yamin said:how did it taste?? that is how im going to smoke my first bud
The taste was good. I smoked little hit out of my bubbler to compare the taste to the chillum. I think with the bubbler you can taste the pot a little bit cleaner, but with the chillum you taste it more.
Also, I know you said it was your plan, but I would definitely say use the form of smoking you usually do for your first experience. The whole time I'm smoking with the chillum, I'm focused on what I am doing, not really that I am smoking. So you wouldn't want your first hits to be spent wondering if you are taking good hits.
The beard is about 2 years old. I stopped cutting my hair and beard after I got married.man nice beard and is that a kara you're wearing? respect!
And YES it is a kara. Made in Amristar. I have worn it since Jan 1 this year. I am not a sikh (obviously), but I am very much interested in the religion. I will tell you this, since I have put it on I have not raised my middle finger to anyone (a practice I did quite often in the past). I may never become a sihk (or hindu), but the idea of wearing a kara to remind me to do good work, and to remind me of my one-ness with god/ everything. Well, I really like that idea. Plus my kara is so very beautiful. I am very proud to wear it.
I read the 4 tenents of sikhism and thougt to myself, even if I don't use any intoxicants (pot is my only one, don't drink or smoke cigs) there is no way I can give up eating meat. Well it got me curious. I don't know if you guys know what 'lent' is. It is a christian/ catholic tradition. Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights wandering the desert, meditating (do all prophets wander the desert?). Anyways it has become traditon for some christians/ catholics to give something up for the 40 days between what we call 'ash wednesday' and 'good friday' (the day jesus was killed, don't know why they don't call it bad friday). I decided to give up meat, just to try it. It has been 35 days with no meat now.
You guys may have heard about Marti Gras, where eveyone dresses up and gets really drunk in New Orleans. This marti gras is a celebration to do all the partying you can before lent, when you supposedly won't party and do all those things. Marti Gras is usually over the week before lent, but the big day is 'Fat Tuesday', just before 'Ash Wednesday'.
It's really funny that all this stuff looks so weird when written. I have grown up with it all so it seems normal, but all these 'good days, fat days, ash days' are strange, no? Very interesting the different perspectives people have on things they are experienced in.
I am enjoy religion in general. I have read books on buddhism and taoism. Also on the rastafari religion (that is a strange one). Also I am in the middle of reading the quran (well, the interpretation of the quran). I am also trying to teach myself arabic. I would love to be able to one day read the quran in arabic. I also one day dream of reading the gura granth sahib in it's native language, but don't think I will ever learn all the languages that are used.
