Blunts here.

I was just saying it's easier to use a pipe than make a contraption of your own each time.

But, yes, blunts are the way to go. On a good weekend day, I smoke maybe 5-6 blunts.

Yeah, I loved it when I finally got a pipe. Before that, I'd make them out of aluminum foil, which worked fine, but from what I've heard it's really unhealthy to smoke with an aluminum foil pipe.

It is really unhealthy. It increases your risk for Alzheimer's, pretty sure.

I've also been told eating pot seeds lowers your sperm count. Not sure how much of either of those is true.

Here's a nifty thing about it that I found.

What Is Known About Aluminum Foil Aluminum foil is very pure- in fact it is 99.9% pure, with the .1% being various residues from the manufacturing process that are burned off at low temperature and other impurities found within the material. Humans contact aluminum from various sources throughout their everyday routines. Common uses for aluminum are: food (naturally occurring) & food additives, antacids & other pharmaceuticals, cooking utensils, soil, drinking water, air, and electronics. Aluminum has a shiny and a dull side- there is no difference to the two sides, this is caused by the manufacturing of aluminum. The sheets are too thin to cut one at a time, so they cut two pieces at a time, causing a shiny and dull side. Average human intake of aluminum is around 3grams (a little higher inCanada because the drinking water is treated with higher concentrations of aluminum). Aluminum, at temperatures below melting point, does not give off gas or vapor. What Is Alzheimer’s Disease? Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive disease that affects the brain- causing mental deterioration, disorientation, depression, memory lapses. When studies have been perform on patients with Alzheimer’s Disease scientist have found that patients have high concentration (10-30 times the normal) of Aluminum in their systems. Studies were conducted in order to find out if people who drink water with high concentrations of aluminum had a higher risk at developing Alzheimer’s Disease. These studies did show there was an increased risk- HOWEVER, studies have been done where individuals drank water without being treated with aluminum and found the same risk of developing Alzheimer’s. These two test indicate that there may be genetic reasons why some individuals develop Alzheimer’s. Studies performed on patients have not found a common factor in the development of Alzheimer’s Disease Scientist do not know if Alzheimer’s Disease causes higher concentrations of aluminum, or if it is caused by high concentrations of aluminum. Smoking Using Aluminum Foil Most brands of aluminum foil (Renoyld’s Wrap with the anti-stick coating and similar brands being the exception), are untreated and remain 99.9% aluminum (again with the .1% being residues and other agents in the manufacturing process) In order to inhale aluminum it would have to be changed from a solid to a vapor. This requires a lot of heat. More heat than what it produced by a butane lighter. A butane lighter is not even capable of melting aluminum, if a lighter fails to melt the aluminum, it will not be able to change the aluminum into a vapor. Conclusion I put this together so individuals can make an educated decision on if they want to use aluminum foil for smoking marijuana.

So pretty much, Aluminum has been shown to be in very high concentrations in people with Alzheimers, but it's not known whether or not it's the cause. Also, Aluminum doesn't put off any vapors or anything unless it's at the melting point, so most likely it's safe to use aluminum foil pipes. I'd say don't risk it though, and just get a real one.

Yeah I wouldn't risk it. Just shell out the $15-$20 to buy a glass pipe. They're much more healthier/convenient.
