Step 1: Choose the Perfect Strain

Selecting the right strain is the first step in packing the perfect bowl of cannabis. Make sure you choose a high-quality strain that provides the desired effects. Experiment with different strains to find your favorite, and determine which strains work best for different activities and occasions.

Step 2: Grind Your Cannabis

Grind your cannabis evenly to ensure an even burn and prevent harsh hits. You can use a grinder, scissors, or even your fingers, but the goal is to have finely and evenly ground cannabis.

Step 3: Select the Right Bowl

There are different types of bowls to choose from, including glass, ceramic, and metal. Glass bowls are easy to clean and provide a clear view, but they can be fragile. Ceramic bowls are often decorated with intricate designs, while metal bowls are durable but can be harsh on the lips. Choose the type of bowl that best suits your needs.

Step 4: Pack Your Bowl

Start by tapping a small amount of ground cannabis into your bowl and keep packing and tapping until it’s about 3/4 full. Pack it loosely to prevent harsh hits. Top off the bowl with a light layer of finely ground cannabis to ensure an even burn.

Step 5: Light Your Bowl

Place your lighter or hemp wick near the bowl and take a few deep breaths in, slowly inhaling the smoke. This will prime the bowl and help the cannabis to burn evenly.

Step 6: Smoke Your Bowl

Take slow, steady puffs and inhale the smoke deep into your lungs to maximize the effects of the cannabis.

Step 7: Clean Your Bowl

Once you’re done smoking, it’s important to clean your bowl to extend its lifespan. Use a cleaning tool or solution specifically designed for cleaning cannabis pipes to remove residual resin or ash.

Expert Tips for Smoking a Bowl

  1. Cornering a Bowl: “Cornering” means lighting only a small section of a bowl to prolong the number of green hits. This technique ensures everyone in a smoking circle can get a green, flavorful hit and prolongs the amount of greens you get when smoking by yourself or with a friend. To corner a bowl, angle it down slightly and hold the flame to the edge of the bowl instead of directly on top.
  2. Cherried Bowls: If the bowl is still smoking after you take a hit, it is “cherried.” If smoking with a friend, pass the bowl and let them know it’s cherried to not waste any smoke. Short, quick inhales will keep the cherry going.
  3. Putting Out a Bowl: Most smokers won’t put out the bowl and will keep passing it until the cherry goes out on its own. You can cup your hand over it and close the holes of the pipe, or tamp down the burning bowl with the bottom of your lighter or another device.
  4. Smoking Etiquette: In a Group When smoking with others, make sure to pack a bowl that’s big enough for everyone in your smoking circle. For larger groups, heavier packed “party bowls” are to guarantee all get a fresh hit.  If you are the host look to corner the bowl so as to not burn the herb for all the rest.

Conclusion

By following these steps and tips, you can pack and smoke the perfect bowl of cannabis, just like a pro. Choose the right strain, grind your cannabis evenly, select the right bowl, pack it correctly, light it up, smoke it, and clean your bowl, and enjoy an enhanced smoking experience.
