This is a small pipe, pocket sized for travel. it doesn't look like anything conspicuous, and it works beautifully. i came up with this while working there. I hate that store..... Pick up the Phone Jack and butane blow torch tip you see in the pictures.

Most probably bloodshot and sensetive due to a certain substance he had been smoking trying out his pipe

Vulcanator in reply to pyro13Nov 8, 2009. 6:46 PM

well with the tin foil. i know that is bad when direct flame is applied. im unsure bout general heat but definitely direct flame is bad.
masterochicken in reply to pyro13May 25, 2008. 2:28 AM
Tin foil is very bad when the fumes are inhaled. It can cause Alzheimer's.
joeliolyijr in reply to pyro13Apr 12, 2008. 3:05 PM
well if you purchase a metal pipe from a legit pipe store ur all set. but coper can kill you and you should try to stay away from tin and aluminum because they just arent good for u. and never smoke out of a can because u end up smoking the paint.

thank you if you dont know what resin is then you probably shouldnt be making home made pipes

you're right... this thing is made of steel, so you should be okay. Dont smoke out of cans, copper or lead, because this is just stupid. while it is safe to cook with copper and aluminum, smoking it releases certain toxins that will poison you after a while.

unscrew the spout on your sink... then pop the screens out... there should be 3-5 in there. leave 1 in the spout or the water will spray everywhere when ever u turn on the sink.
joeliolyijr in reply to pyro13Apr 13, 2008. 4:35 PM
well the big danger is metals that have low melting points so steel is sometimes okay breass is just a mixture of copper and zinc so thats still like smoking from copper.

Salvia divinorum, Latin for "Diviner's Sage," is the legal hallucinogen (I mean, incense, what'd I say?), and it is part of the same family as common sage, salvia officinalis, which is used for cooking. Unfortunately, smoking common sage will have no effect other than making you cough profusely.
joeliolyijr in reply to pyro13Apr 15, 2008. 6:53 PM
im not really sure about sage but i know u can get salvia which is an "incence" and u can get it cheep on ebay.

the reason its still leagal is because most people who smoke it do not do so again. most people i know have had very bad trips on salvia. the explanation i've heard for this is that other hallucinogens like LSD or psilocybin cause a release of endorphins (the "happy" chemicals) in your brain, thereby increasing the chance that you will have a pleasant trip. salvia does not cause this endorphin release. that mixed with the intensity of the onset and the drug itself can cause bad trips. of course, some people have very good trips, but ive mostly hear bad things about it. also, it's not *all* gone after 15-20 minutes, there are some after effects which, again, can be unpleasant.

drinking a tea or chewing leaves sublingually is supposed to be a better way of taking it, as it lasts much longer and will supposedly give you some long lasting "feel good" feelings depending on the dose. it can also cause halluciantions, but will not be as harsh as smoking it. this is what the south american shamans did for a long, long time. i havent heard a lot about this method though, if anyone can confirm or deny i would like to hear some feedback.

i've never done either, but i would like to start growing it for the latter

...."leafy smoking substance"........wink wink.......I did not know you could smoke sage.....
Brad1191 in reply to explosivemakerMay 28, 2008. 4:43 PM
actually, sage is in the same family as salvia divinorum a.k.a salvia, which is a powerful holucinogen and lasts about 20 minutes (if its about 80x) great stuff, and its legal.
MrHyde says: Apr 30, 2008. 6:48 AM
what about whackin it into a bit of garden hose. wouldnt that take care of the heat problem?
andrew_29 says: Mar 22, 2008. 8:05 PM
