Shawn, you're a good man, but the weed DEFINITELY keeps burning in a bowl... that's why smoke comes off the top after you're done inhaling. You can minimize this by not torching your bowl like a noob and lighting it only long enough to burn what you need (also cuts down on hacking up lungs), but it still burns. Less than a joint though, for sure, if you're doing it right.
My only preference for smoking devices is bongs. They're so inconvenient but if I have the time and a house to do it in, bongs are oohhhmmyygood. My friend Jake has the triple filter, percolated stem Kaos and holy horse fuck does it milk. I have a really badass metal piece that has a cap with a hole in the top over the bowl so I use that when I may need to hide my shit quickly, like at work. I use joints for when I'm feeling steezy, or if I need to be inconspicuous (skiing or work). I donno... I could go on and on but everything has its place, basically.
That being said, I definitely don't have the weed for joints all the time. Someone else was flipping shit because of a post saying joints were less efficient... well, they aren't as efficient, and some of us aren't in high school and we have other things to spend our money on 'sides cannabis. I just don't have a gram plus for a joint each time I wanna smoke, that's the way it is, and even if you spliff it (Captain Black Gold bitchesss) my little metal piece gets me nearly as ripped and takes about .2 to fill. Yes, that's a huge difference, and yes, it matters. The Jesus Joint is still so steezy that it overshadows lesser marijuanart forms.
