Information for Bong Users

SAFER CANNABIS USE GUIDELINES www.youtube.com WARNING; Smoking cannabis through a bong is one of the most harmful methods of using cannabis. Although water cools the smoke, the water in a bong absorbs a large amount of THC (psycho-stimulant part) and tar. Therefore you need to inhale more smoke to get the desired amount of THC, but you also get more carcinogenic tar and other toxins. Types of Bongs – converted plastic bottles contain harmful carcinogenic toxins. Ceramic, brass or glass are safer and easier to clean. Clean Shared Mouth Pieces – Virus (Hepatitis A&B and mennigoccal), bacteria and other diseases can be spread from person to person in saliva and by unclean hands. Change water regularly – Dirty bong water can contain and harbour harmful bacteria and toxins. Mouth Pieces – The mouthpiece needs to be 20cm or more from water to decrease the amount of water vapour and water drops entering the lungs. Cover mouthpiece – use a rag or tissue to cover mouthpiece when sharing, especially if someone has a cold. Inhale using small, shallow breaths – Studies show that 95% of THC is absorbed in the first few seconds of inhaling. Holding smoke in longer and inhaling deeply allows more tar and other noxious chemicals to be absorbed by lungs. Avoid mixing with tobacco – Mixing your cannabis with tobacco only makes it look like your stash lasts longer.
