The pipe residue contains THC and other cannabinoids, solid particles such as ash and pyrolitic compounds found in smoke. It is a concentrate of everything you inhale and more, because of the large solid particles that stick to the viscous tar.
The general consensus is that this material is not good for you to smoke. That's because of the foul taste and the compounds that may be carcinogenic or mutagenic created by the burn. They are collected and concentrated in the residue.
I wouldn't go that far. When you smoke a pipe you are inhaling the very same compounds. It's sort of like smoking a roach joint. I don't know if it makes a difference that both the compounds and the THC is concentrated in pipe residue. It takes less of the concentrate to get high.
One way of reducing the amount of ash and other impurities in the pipe resin is to soak it in warm water. The resin loses much of its odor and it looks like some of the ash falls out, too. For best results, press the resin into a thin sheet so that there is more surface-to-mass and more of the resin comes in contact with the water.
I'm not advocating using bong resin, but I know that sometimes there is nothing left and you're down to the proverbial stems and seeds and bong resin. Consider my suggestions a harm reduction strategy. If you have to use the resin, clean it up.
'cause God forbid this should fade away.Bump ...
the 2 need to meet....get it on uboobGot a buddy who is an old school grower and glass blower.
He will use/make a new pipe for specific strains or seasons that he grew.
He is also very anal about anyone resin hitting his pipe, not so much as intentionally resin hitting it, but as in if you light a bowl that is to close to being gone and the resin within the pipe gets burnt at all, he can get upset.
He can be a bit extreme about it, but I have to say if you smoke some tasty herb in a pipe that was treated like that and seasoned with the same herb you can see why he does it.
A lot has changed over the years now though, simple glass pipes are pretty old school by themselves. Many have fancy super clean oil bongs or vaporizers.
