There are all kinds of way to smoke when it comes down to it. Typically, glass is the most popular option but there are whole variety of other options that work just as well. The reason that glass is used so often over other materials is because glass will not melt over prolonged exposure to fire like many of the cheaper materials do. Acrylic is another interesting option that will not shatter from a fall as glass does. But glass is still a much more sturdy bong material in all other cases. One material that you will want to stay away from is plastic. Over time, small amounts of plastic will actually burn up with your weed. I’ve heard of things as strange as an apple, but never have I seen anything as creative as the earth bong.
Constructing the Bong
In order to make one of these earth bongs in honor of Earth Day, you will first need a small patch of exposed earth. Dig two separate holes in the ground about a foot apart. The larger the distance between the holes, the larger the chamber will be but a greater chance of the whole thing breaking will also be present. Connect the two holes using a stick or some other long, thin device and get ready for the hit of your life. Next, you will need a plastic water bottle to complete your earth bong. Cut off only the very bottom of your bottle and fashion a carb on the top if you’d like. Now all that remains is to light the weed up and smoke it!
Hitting the Earth Bong
At this point, the earth bong should start to seem more familiar like a regular bong. All you must do is place your water bottle bottom down in one of the holes and make sure it is air tight. Next, pack your weed in the other hole. Because making an earth bong is largely for Earth Day, it is not that efficient and some weed might be lost or dirtied in the process of smoking. After it is all ready, put your mouth to bottle, suck, and light! In no time you will see a huge hit come out your lungs. Who knew that the earth could make such a perfect bong with a stoner know how?
As Earth Day has already passed, the cuteness factor of this bong is all too often overshadowed by the weed it wastes. A little time and attention put in to the other hole can really save you a lot though if you are willing to work for it. If you fashion the weed hole much like a bowl, you’ll be amazed at how much better this home made contraption works. Even though Earth Day only comes once a year, it does not mean we can not celebrate our mother Earth in bong form the whole year round! If you haven’t yet, go pay respects to your mother and try out one of these earth bongs. Many thanks to The McGyver of Pot, Master Bong for supplying the original idea for this article!
