![]() ![]() Open the package, about a foot or so in length and five or so inches in width, and discover a glass cannabis, (or tobacco, should you desire) smoking implement. Open the handsomely designed white, rectangular box with crisp and clearly written copy on the top of the logo, an S., and in lower case, the word session. I don't have time to over intellectualize the process of cleaning my cannabis glassware, and you shouldn't either! Some glass bongs are just meant to be cleaned by professionals. So I'm careful about what hardware I agree to review, and even more careful when it comes to complex glass that requires intricate cleaning. Not a good start when someone is supposed to review a machine that costs several hundreds of dollars, and that's before the raw ingredients are added to the bill. They were wildly powerful, and one or two made me feel really physically ill afterwards. Most of these really expensive devices took concentrates, product that I cannot find in my state. Then, this Xmas season, I was suddenly overwhelmed by all sorts of electronic implements to smoke cannabis from. Let's just say that they were not the most elegant things, not something that I'm proud of in my fading memories of those years. They would get incredibly hot, and even dirtier than the worst childhood dream realized of drinking the (unsavory) bong-water by mistake. They were not well made, nor nice to look at. They were nothing more than straight tube bongs, made of plastic (as I remember), with metal down pipes and harsh metal bowls. I had a bong in prep school as I remember, and I think I even had a couple of them in college in the 80's. Why? They all seem so cumbersome to use, and most are quite difficult to keep clean. Every time I walk into a high-end "Head Shop" I'm always intrigued by the multitudes of intricate glass bongs, but I really have no use for one. I just haven't enjoyed the experience that they offer from all those twists and turns of the expensive, hand-blown glass. Don't get me wrong, I do like the way they look, but more as a metaphor for their craft, instead of just getting buzzed. In recent years I've really have shied away from this oft powerful method of imbibing cannabis. But what does this mean to the consumer? Not since college, back in the early 1980's, have I even thought about owning a bong, with most of them just too fragile and complicated for my tastes.
