Why Smoke With Glass?
Glass is a very clean material, so when you smoke out of a glass pipe, you're only smoking what you put in it. There aren't any toxic fumes, odors, or flavors that come out of the glass when heated.
Pipes made out of other materials like plastic, metal, or wood, can contaminate the smoke and make it so you're smoking more than you bargained for.
Beyond just being a safer option, glass is a stylish way to smoke. There are so many amazing handcrafted pieces out there, it's easy to start building up a bit of a collection. Even if your collection is maxed out, it's fun to spread the love and buy them as gifts for friends!
A History of Glass Pipes
Pipes are not a recent invention, but rather humans have been smoking from pipes in one form or another for many thousands of years. Ancient human cultures would smoke for spiritual, religious, and medicinal purposes.
Pipes have been made out of a wide variety of materials over the ages. The earliest bone pipe ever found was discovered in a cave in Wyoming and dates back all the way to 9000 B.C.!
The Native Americans used to make pipes out of animal antlers, corn cobs, clay, or wood. As pipe smoking became popular in Europe, they were primarily made out of wood.
The corn cob pipe became popular during the 1800s, as corn was inexpensive, plentiful, and the corn cob was otherwise a waste byproduct.
Pipes in recent times have been made with metal, plastic, and glass. Glass pipes have grown in popularity as smokers have appreciated both the artistic craftsmanship of blown glass and the uniquely clean flavor of smoking out of glass.
With These Glass Hand Pipes, You Can't Go Wrong
One of the best things about all of these glass hand pipes is that on top of being beautiful and functional, they're affordable. That means that you don't necessarily have to choose just one!
It can make a lot of sense to have more than one glass pipe for different purposes. Maybe it makes sense to have a chillum when you need to be more discreet, but a crazy dragon-shaped pipe for when you're just chilling with your friends.
Glass pipes are easy to clean, beautiful to display, and fun to use. There is nothing quite the same as smoking from a beautiful, comfortable piece of glass.
In life, there are few times when you can use legitimate pieces of art for functional purposes. It can enhance your smoking experience so much to use a piece that you value, enjoy, find beautiful, and love to look at.
As the movement to make cannabis legal expands across the country, it's just about time for everyone to have their own glass pipe. Whether you want to add another pipe to your collection or buy a few for your closest friends, we've got you covered!
