In recent years the push to legalize the recreational use of marijuana has picked up considerable steam. There are now 23 states that have decriminalized recreational use of marijuana and medical use of marijuana is now allowed in 40 states. But the fact that the federal government still classifies weed as a Schedule 1 substance right alongside heroin and that recreational use is still illegal in 27 states means there’s a lot of work to do before the fight is won. In this post, the team at the Smoking Buddha smoke shop in Parker take a look at states likely to legalize cannabis in 2023 or 2024.

Glass Pipes vs. Bongs: How Do They Compare?
Most stoners have both a glass pipe and a bong in their cupboard and if you asked them which is their favorite they’d probably have a hard time deciding. For people new to smoking weed that type of indecision is not a lot of help. They may not want to purchase both and are looking for a way to determine if glass pipes or bongs are quantifiably better. So, to help those folks decide, the team here at the Smoking Buddha vape shop have put together this brief guide on the relative pros and cons of both devices.
Why You Should Never Drink Bong Water
If you smoke weed long enough you will eventually encounter someone who suggests you can get a righteous buzz from drinking the water in your bong. On a certain level, the idea might seem to make sense. After all, if the water has been in there during a week or so of regular use it must be infused by now with at least some THC. Right? Drinking it would then be the liquid equivalent of edibles. Right? Well… as much as those of us at the Smoking Buddha headshop would like to affirm the idea that you can get a buzz by just tipping back the bong, it’s simply not true. And in this post, we’re going to cover all the reasons why you really don’t want to drink your bong water.
Vaporizer Temperature Importance and Recommended Ranges
When compared to using a bong, vaping dry herbs is a relatively new pursuit. Because of that there are still some things about the practice many stoners are not up to speed with. Including the right temperature to vape at and why it matters. To some traditionalists, the idea of regulating temperatures seems needlessly complicated, but it’s a lot less complicated than it seems. And once you find your sweet spot you shouldn’t have to keep making adjustments. In this post, the staff here at the Smoking Buddha vape shop in Parker look at the issue of vaping temperatures.
Common Dry Herb Vaporizer Problems and How to Solve Them
Dry herb vaporizers have quietly become the biggest thing in cannabis paraphernalia since the bong. Every day those of us at the Smoking Buddha vape shop in Parker field more questions about dry herb vaporizers and practically every month more are sold than were sold the month before. Like any device, however, vaporizers are not without their issues and a fair number of the questions we get regarding these devices are about frequently occurring dry herb vaporizer problems and how to resolve them.
Stemless Bongs vs. Stemmed Bongs: Which is Right for You?
Do an internet search for stemmed bongs and then do one for stemless bongs and you’re liable to be confused. In many cases, it’s hard to tell the difference. You might find it equally difficult to discern the difference between the two if you stop into our Parker headshop to see some in person. Both have water chambers, both have long necks with a mouthpiece at the top and both have bowls sitting atop tubes whose other end extends to the water chamber. So what’s the difference?
