How To Smoke Weed From a Hookah

Smoking weed from a hookah is possible. While smoking from a water bong will provide a better result and cleaner high, sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures. Today, we're gonna dive into how to setup your hookah to smoke weed from.

Heat your coals outside. This takes time to do and you should start this early in the process. 

Many people will tell you to layer weed with shisha but this is in fact incorrect. The first step is to GRIND your weed. Grinding weed is vital no matter how you're smoking and is equally as important when trying to smoke weed from a hookah. 

First, put pack shisha in the bowl as you normally would. Make sure the shisha isn't overly wet, and if it is, dry it off some. Then place the weed ON TOP of the shisha. Make sure the holes in your bowl are open enough to allow proper airflow. 

Do NOT take the coil and put it directly on the weed and shisha. Instead, measure a piece of tinfoil so it covers the entire bowl. Then take a tooth pick or something of similar size and poke a bunch of hole in the tinfoil. The holes should cover the entire bowl. The hot coals will go on the tinfoil, which will sit between the coals and weed. The hole are there to help regulate temperate and allow air to pass from the colas and into the hookah. 

If you're a single hose smoker, take a paper towel and shove it in the vacant hose hole. The one big advantage hookahs have over water bongs is the multiple hoses. This allows for groups of friends to all smoke at the same time without passing anything or sharing mouthpieces. 

Now is the time to place the hot coals on the tinfoil. Typically 2-3 coals is fine to use.

It should be a little harsh in the beginning but then after that should feel similar to a normal shisha hookah smoking session. 

While similar neither of them is better for what the other does well. Hookahs are big, stationery pieces that are made for smoking shisha. They wont be anywhere near as smooth as bongs are for smoking cannabis and won't have the better performing percolators a nice water bong will have. Hookahs can be a pain to setup and heating coals adds another level of commitment, danger and experience to the mix. Whereas a bong you can simply pack a bowl and you're ready to blaze.

Smoking weed from a hookah, while possible, is best suited for with large group of friends looking to "shake things up" every once in a while. Otherwise, you and your friends are better off smoking from a bong designed for smoking weed. The hits will be much smoother and the time commitment a fraction of what's required to get a hookah ready.
