The Pumpkin Bong – The new way to get high this fall

Pumpkin Bong: Try this unique and fun way to get high this fall

There is no other food that is more famous in the fall than pumpkins.

It is associated with Halloween and Thanksgiving, making it one of the most festive icons of the season. But there’s more to using pumpkins than just slicing them out for display or making pumpkin spice lattes—you can actually make a bong out of pumpkins!

Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. This novel way of getting high is only for adults. But using “organic” media for smoking is nothing new: Smoking from an apple has been around for many decades.

Follow these tips below to learn everything you need to carve the humble gourd into a bong, or even a rig.

what you will need

• A big pumpkin

• An ice pick, barbecue stick, or screwdriver (for poking holes)

• lighter

• Knife or other carving tool

• spoon

Some gourds work better than others when it comes to making a bong out of them. Look for pumpkins that have height, as height is more important than roundness. The height is crucial to have enough space for a mouthpiece and a downstem. When you’re at the pumpkin patch, just look for a pumpkin that you can imagine turning into a bong. Don’t use gourds that are too big as they are difficult to inflate; Handheld sizes will be more convenient.

procedure

*Use the spoon and knife to remove the slimy fibers and seeds inside the pumpkin. These are known as the placental tissues of the fruit. There’s no real need to discard the entire contents of the squash, as you need some of that squash flesh to create a dense flow of air in the bong.

It is not advisable to get rid of the entire cavity. You want it to be slightly airtight on the inside for better cracking. Plus, leaving some pumpkin flesh in will give your puffs some of that delicious pumpkin flavor.

Also cut off the top of the squash. Make the hole wide enough so you can easily clean the inside of the gourd, but you don’t want it to be too wide that it could interfere with the holes in the stem or mouthpiece. Tip: Cut with a circular incision and avoid zigzag patterns on the top. Circular cuts result in a cleaner surface while reducing air exposure. After cutting off the top and cleaning the squash, put the top back on.

*Use the knife to carve a shallow, bowl-shaped hole near the top of the squash. When carving, be careful not to break the meat and make a hole. If this happens, cover it with some tape and start in a different area.

Use your poke tool of choice to poke a small hole in the center of the shallow dish. It should be in a narrow bowl so you don’t suck on the bud when you tug.

1. Punch a small hole on another side of the pumpkin. The center of the hole should have access to that carb and not be too far from the bowl. This hole is crucial for regulating airflow during smoking, as well as temperatures and burns within the gourd.

2. Create another hole that will serve as a mouthpiece. This should be opposite the skin and on the top half of the fruit. If you’re having trouble identifying the correct locations for these holes, just imagine how they would be located if you were smoking with a real bong.

If you already have a glass pipe or scraps from an old, unused, or broken bong, add it to the mouthpiece. Press the stem onto the squash flesh, making sure it is snug and secure in the squash so you don’t suck in air.

*Test your bong by sucking on the mouthpiece and using the carb. Watch the air flow through; ideally, the pressure should rise noticeably. You should hear the sucking sound of your mouthpiece coming from the bowl.

If you need to make changes, hit through again. You may also need to remove some excess pumpkin casings. If water or moisture collects around the holes you made, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.

*Once everything is set, fill your head with weed. You might want to try adding a little water to the squash for a much smoother hit. However, if you plan to use the gourd as a dab rig or as a head, you don’t need to add water.

Optional Tips

If you want to dab from the pumpkin, just use a titanium nail instead of a downstem or regular head. Just make sure the nail is placed at the right angle and don’t add any water.

Smoking from a pumpkin bong is a unique experience. You can use it as many times as you like, but be sure to check your pumpkin for signs of rot – then it’s time to toss it! Impress your friends this fall with the novelty of smoking from a pumpkin.
