A hand pipe, also known as a spoon pipe or a bowl, is a simple, discreet, and portable device that fits comfortably in one hand. It usually has a bowl for the cannabis, a carburetor (or carb) to control airflow, and a mouthpiece for inhalation. 

Hand pipes are designed to hold a small amount of cannabis, which allows for controlled and precise dosing. Nice for everyone—great for people who are newer to cannabis.  

STEP 1  

Get your cannabis ready 

Use a grinder or break down your cannabis into smaller pieces using your fingers. This helps ensure an even burn and optimal airflow. 

STEP 2 

Pack the bowl 

Load your cannabis into the bowl. Try not to overpack, because you need air to flow through. 

STEP 3  

Ignite and inhale  

With the mouthpiece near your lips, use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the cannabis in the bowl as you inhale gently. Rotate the lighter or hemp wick around the bowl to ensure you’re smoking the green, not relighting the charred cannabis over and over.  

STEP 4  

Control the carb 

As you continue inhaling, release your thumb or finger from the carb to allow fresh air to mix with the smoke, enhancing the airflow and clearing the chamber. 

STEP 5  

Exhale and enjoy 

Once you’ve taken in enough smoke, remove the flame and set the hand pipe aside. Exhale and enjoy the effects of your smoke. Tip: you DO NOT have to hold the smoke in to absorb more THC. 

Remember to clean your hand pipe regularly to remove potentially harmful resin and to maintain optimal performance and flavor. Pipe cleaners are great for removing residue and ash.
