How to Make a Pipe Out of an Apple: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

If you haven't seen the cult classic movie, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", it's a must watch stoner flick. Steve Carell's character Andy hits an apple bong at a party… leaving all of our mouths open in awe of the idea. Smoking weed out of fruit has been mentioned in several movies and TV shows the past few years.

There's no doubt that stoners are quite crafty, from gravity bongs to tin foil cans. When there's a will to smoke weed, there's a way to smoke weed. What takes this whole smoke experience to a higher level is the fact that it's healthy af!


What is an Apple Pipe and Why Make One?

Just so we are all clear, we aren't talking about making a pipe out of your smartphone, iPad, or you misread this as apple pie. This DIY pipe is made using a fresh juicy apple. The kind you can slice up, slather in caramel, put in a pie, and smoke out of! 

This way of smoking is sometimes seen as amateur. Like those who don't have access to other smoking options. But that's also the opposite. It's so cheap, super easy to dispose of and it's pretty discreet compared to a glass bong or infused pre roll.

Preparing the Apple

First things first, gotta start with a sturdy, ripe apple. You want one that's got some heft to it, not too soft or mushy. Those thin-skinned apples just won't hold up when you start poking holes in 'em.

Next, twist off that stem nice and clean. That little indent at the top makes for the perfect natural bowl to pack your herb in. Just be sure to clear out any seeds or debris in there - you want a nice, smooth surface to work with.

Now, for the airflow hole. A ballpoint pen or something similar works great for this.


Creating the Bowl and Mouthpiece

Take your ballpoint pen or a sturdy poking tool and create a nice, deep hole right from the top of the apple. You want to go about halfway down, just enough to create a good-sized chamber to pack your herb in.

Go slow and steady here, you don't want to punch all the way through. Leave a solid apple base at the bottom to keep everything sturdy. Once you've got that hollowed-out space, you can use the same tool to shape and refine the bowl area.

Next up, the mouthpiece. This is the key to getting those smooth, tasty hits. Take your pen/tool and poke a straight-through hole, perpendicular to the first one. Make sure it connects with the bowl chamber so you've got a clear airflow path.

The key is creating that direct pathway from the bowl to your lips. No unnecessary twists and turns - you want the smoke to travel nice and easy. Test it out a few times to make sure you've got a clear, unobstructed draw.

Adding the Carb and Third Hole

So, about an inch down from the main bowl hole, use your trusty poking tool to punch another strategic hole. This is gonna serve as your carb - the air intake that lets you control the airflow and clear that chamber.

The key is positioning it somewhere that's easy to cover with your finger while you're lighting up. You're looking to get a smooth, effortless draw. Play around with the placement until you find the sweet spot.

And speaking of the bowl, don't forget to widen that top hole out a bit more. Use the same poking tool to carefully expand and shape it into a nice, deep, functional bowl. You want enough room in there to pack a decent-sized nugget without it spilling over the sides.

Assembling the Apple Bong

Now, time to light it up. Place your finger firmly over that carb hole you made, and bring the flame to the cannabis in the bowl. Take it slow and steady - you don't need to scorch the whole thing at once.

As you're lighting, start gently inhaling through the mouthpiece. This is where that carb hole comes in clutch - use your finger to control the airflow. Covering it gives you a nice, smooth draw, while opening it up lets you clear that chamber with ease.

It's just like any other pipe, really. Treat it with the same care and technique you would a glass piece or joint. Slow, steady tokes, regulate that airflow, and enjoy that fresh, fruity flavor the apple provides.

And when you're done? Just toss the whole thing - no mess, no fuss. The beauty of the apple bong is its simplicity and biodegradability. Gotta love a smoking sesh that leaves no trace.

Tips for Using Your Apple Pipe

You want that apple to be crisp, juicy, and ripe. Different apple varieties can give you some really unique and interesting smoke profiles. Experiment with tart Granny Smiths, sweet Red Delicious, or even exotic options like Honeycrisps. See what pairs best with your favorite strains.

Safety Precautions

Anytime you're dealing with sharp objects and open flames, you need to watch what you're doing. Mind your fingers when you're carving out the bowl and airflow holes.

And on the smoking side, don't go too hard, too fast. Ease into those big, deep hits - the apple can create a surprisingly dense, harsh smoke if you're not careful. Regulate that airflow with the carb and enjoy those flavorful, smooth tokes.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If it's not hitting well, tweak the holes a bit. Go bigger if needed. Harsh smoke? Try a different apple type. If you're having trouble getting it lit, try widening out that bowl a bit. And if the smoke is just too intense, play around with the carb placement and airflow.

And if you find your apple piece is a little too delicate for your liking, consider adding some reinforcements. A couple strategic toothpick "crutches" can go a long way in adding stability.

It's all in good fun. Dabble into your creativity and enjoy more fruits in your diet.

The Edible Effect

The Edible Effect

Welcome, fellow cannabis connoisseurs! Today, we're embarking on a wild journey into the world of edible highs. If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about with THC-infused treats, then get ready to unlock all secrets of the edible effect because JARS is here to enlighten and entertain. Grab a snack (non-infused, for now), and let's dive in!


The Edible Effect: Decoding the Differences of an Edible High - A Guide by JARS Cannabis 

 

Unraveling the Mysteries of the Munchies – One Bite at a Time 

Welcome, fellow cannabis connoisseurs! Today, we're embarking on a wild journey into the world of edible highs. If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about with THC-infused treats, then get ready to unlock all secrets of the edible effect because JARS is here to enlighten and entertain. Grab a snack (non-infused, for now), and let's dive in! 

 

Why Edibles Pack a Punch  

First, let’s talk about why consuming cannabis in edible form creates a different experience than smoking or vaping. When you munch on a THC-infused brownie, your body processes the cannabinoids through the digestive system, slowly releasing THC into your bloodstream. With inhalation, the THC rapidly enters your system, creating a faster, more intense high. 

So, in short: edibles are like a slow-cooked pot roast, while smoking is like a quick-sear steak. Both are delicious, but each offers a unique experience. 

 

The Liver Factor 

Did you know that the liver is critical to the edible effect? When you consume cannabis-infused edibles, your liver transforms the THC into 11-hydroxy-THC – a more potent, longer-lasting version of its cousin, delta-9-THC.  This chemical transformation contributes to the intensity and longevity of an edible high. Who knew that our livers were such skilled cannabis chefs? 

 

The Sneaky Onset of the Edible Effect 

We've all heard those cautionary tales of unsuspecting users gobbling down a whole batch of THC-infused cookies only to find themselves orbiting Jupiter hours later. What gives? Well, my friends, this is due to the slow onset of edibles. The effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours for the results to kick in. And when they do, oh boy, strap in for a ride!  

This delayed reaction often leads to having one too many, – and, consequently, a particularly "stellar" adventure. 

Remember: patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to edibles. So start low, go slow, and listen to JARS Budtenders – we're here to ensure your experience is one that is both safe and enjoyable.. 

 

Edible Highs – A Body-Centered Experience 

So, what sets an edible high apart from other forms of cannabis consumption? Well, to start,  it's a more body-centered experience. Users often describe an edible high  as a warm, enveloping sensation that spreads from head to toe, making it ideal for relaxation and stress relief. It's not uncommon for edible aficionados to feel as if they've been swaddled in a cozy, THC-infused blanket. Sounds delightful, right? Just remember to keep an eye on the dosage – we don't want that blanket turning into a restrictive suit! 

 

Duration of the Edible Effect – Going the Distance 

Edibles have your back if you're in it for the long haul. Depending on individual metabolism, dosage, and tolerance, the edible effect can typically last anywhere between  4 to 8 hours. This vast experience makes edibles popular for those looking to manage chronic pain or enjoy a leisurely journey through the cannabis cosmos. 

So, if you're planning an evening of Netflix and chill (emphasis on the chill part), why not swing by JARS to pick up a tasty THC treat? 

 

Edibles – A World of Flavors and Options 

At JARS Cannabis, the world of edibles offers an incredible variety of flavors and options to satisfy every palate. From gummies and chocolates to beverages and baked goods, there's an edible for everyone, whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or gluten-free. 

But it's important to note that edibles aren't just about getting high. While THC-infused edibles may provide a psychoactive experience, CBD-infused edibles have become increasingly popular for those seeking relief or looking to improve their sleep without intoxication. 

 At JARS Cannabis, we offer a diverse selection of CBD edibles, so you can experience the soothing benefits of CBD without worrying about meeting any celestial beings along the way. Indulge your taste buds while exploring the fascinating world of edibles, which now includes non-intoxicating options. 

 

Embarking on Your Edible Adventure with JARS Cannabis 

Now that we've decoded the delightful mysteries of the edible effect, you're ready to embark on your munch-worthy marijuana adventure. From a gentle, body-centered high to an extended journey through cannabis-infused relaxation, edibles offer a unique experience perfect for newbies and seasoned consumers alike. 

Ready to take the plunge? Visit JARS Cannabis to explore our extensive menu of THC and CBD edibles, and don't hesitate to ask our knowledgeable staff for guidance on finding the perfect treat to suit your needs. And remember: start low, go slow, and enjoy the ride!

Reading Between the Lines

Reading Between the Lines

Welcome to the world of cannabis, where reading between the lines is not just a good idea; it's a must! With so many different strains and products on the market, understanding cannabis labels can be a daunting task. But fear not, my friends! Today, we will guide you through the world of cannabis labels and help you read between the lines.


Reading Between the Lines: A Guide to Understanding Cannabis Flower Label  

Welcome to the world of cannabis, where reading between the lines is not just a good idea; it's a must! With so many different strains and products on the market, understanding cannabis labels can be a daunting task. But fear not, my friends! Today, we will guide you through the world of cannabis labels and help you read between the lines. 

Percentages - Understanding THC and CBD 

Regarding cannabis products, percentages are essential to understanding what you're getting. You'll often see two percentages listed: THC and CBD.  

THC is the psychoactive compound that produces the "high" associated with cannabis use, while CBD is a non-psychoactive compound with therapeutic benefits.  

The percentages listed on your flower products represent the concentration of these compounds, with THC typically ranging from 10% to 30% and CBD ranging from 0% to 20%. 

So what do these percentages mean for you as a cannabis user? If you want a mellow experience, choose a product with a higher CBD percentage.  

CBD has been found to have calming and relaxing effects, making it a popular choice for people looking to unwind without getting too high.  

On the other hand, if you're looking for a more intense high, go for a product with a higher THC percentage. Just be aware that products with high THC percentages can be very potent, so start with a small amount and work your way up as needed.  

When it comes to cannabis concentrates, the percentages of THC and CBD are much higher than what you'll find in flower products. Concentrates are made by extracting the most potent parts of the cannabis plant, resulting in a product that is much stronger than traditional flower. 

For example, THC percentages in concentrates can range from 50% to 90%, while CBD percentages can range from 20% to 60%. Due to their potency, concentrates should be used with caution and in moderation, especially for novice cannabis users. 

It's important to note that the effects of concentrates can also be much more intense than those of flower products. This is because concentrates deliver a more concentrated dose of THC or CBD in a smaller amount of product. As a result, even experienced cannabis users should start with a small amount of concentrate and gradually increase their dosage as needed. 

Overall, understanding the percentages of THC and CBD in cannabis products is crucial for anyone looking to enjoy the effects of cannabis safely and responsibly. Whether you prefer flower products or concentrates, always start with a small amount and work your way up to find your ideal dosage. With the right knowledge and caution, cannabis can be a beneficial addition to your wellness routine. 

Strains - Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid 

It's important to note that the cannabis industry is moving away from the traditional classification standard of strains as Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Dispensaries now use different names, like "Animal Cookies," "Gorilla Glue #4," "Jack Herer," "Wedding Cake," "Motorbreath," and "Runtz," to name a few common ones. Each strain has its unique set of benefits, so it's essential to consider your needs and preferences when choosing the right one for you. 

For instance, Animal Cookies is known for its calming and relaxing effects, making it a popular choice for those looking to unwind after a long day. Gorilla Glue #4, on the other hand, is known for its euphoric and uplifting effects, making it a great option for social situations and creative endeavors. Jack Herer is another popular strain that's known for providing energy and focus, making it a great choice for those who need a pick-me-up. 

Wedding Cake is an excellent strain for pain relief and relaxation, while Motorbreath is known for its ability to ease anxiety and depression. Runtz is a sweet and fruity strain that's popular for its relaxing and calming effects. 

When choosing a strain, it's crucial to identify what you're looking for in terms of lifestyle benefits, such as relaxation, creativity, energy, or focus, and select a strain accordingly. Don't be afraid to try new strains, as each one has its unique set of benefits that you may find suits your needs perfectly. 

JARS Cannabis has a wide variety of strains to choose from. 

Terpenes - The Aromatic Compounds That Make a Difference 

Terpenes are another vital aspect of understanding cannabis labels. These aromatic compounds found in cannabis contribute to its flavor and scent, as well as its effects. But did you know that terpenes are not unique to cannabis? They are found in a variety of plants, including tea, thyme, and citrus fruits, to name a few. Some common terpenes listed on a label include myrcene, limonene, and pinene.  

Each terpene has its unique set of effects, so paying attention to a strain's terpene profile can help you choose the perfect product for your needs.  

For example, if you're looking for a strain that will help you sleep, choose one with high levels of myrcene. Myrcene has been found to have sedative effects, making it a popular choice for people who struggle with insomnia.  

On the other hand, if you're looking for a strain that will help you stay alert and focused, choose one with high pinene levels. Pinene has been found to have a stimulating effect, making it popular among those who want to stay productive during the day. 

Talk to Your Budtender - The Importance of Dispensary Staff 

When choosing the perfect cannabis product, don't be afraid to talk to your budtender or dispensary staff. They know the products they sell and can help you select the ideal strain, terpene profile, and potency for your needs. 

Don't be shy about asking questions, and don't be afraid to try something new. Your budtender can help you find the perfect product for your unique needs. They can also provide valuable information about dosage, consumption methods, and potential lifestyle benefits. 

Reading between the lines of cannabis labels is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. Understanding the percentages of THC and CBD, strains, terpene profiles, and symbols will help you choose the perfect product for your needs.  

If you're looking for a dispensary that offers high-quality cannabis products and knowledgeable staff, look no further than JARS Cannabis. With more than 250 brands across various categories and price points, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect product for your needs.

The organization has created a comprehensive database of Black and brown-owned businesses in the cannabis space called the "Cannaclusive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Directory."

Rise and Grind

Rise and Grind

Are you tired of procrastinating and feeling unproductive? Do you want to find a natural way to boost your focus and creativity? Well, look no further than cannabis!

Rise and Grind: Increasing Productivity with Cannabis

Are you tired of procrastinating and feeling unproductive? Do you want to find a natural way to boost your focus and creativity? Well, look no further than cannabis!

That's right, folks. Marijuana can be more than just a recreational pastime. It can also be a powerful tool for increasing productivity. And no, we're not just talking about getting high and watching Netflix all day. Instead, we're discussing using cannabis responsibly and strategically to enhance your workflow and achieve your goals. So, without further ado, here are some tips for how to increase productivity with cannabis:

Choose the Right Strain

Not all cannabis is created equal. Some strains are better suited for productivity than others. For example, Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects, while Indica strains are more relaxing and soothing.  If you want to get things done, opt for a sativa-dominant hybrid like Sour Diesel or Green Crack.

Check
JARS Cannabis for a wide variety of strains to pick from! 

Experiment with Different Consumption Methods
Smoking a joint might be the most traditional way to consume cannabis, but it's not always convenient or discreet. Instead, consider trying other methods like edibles, tinctures, or vaporizers.  Each method has its unique effects and onset time, so experiment to find what works best for you.

Set Realistic Goals

While cannabis can help increase productivity, it's not a magic bullet. You still need to set realistic goals and prioritize your tasks.  For example, don't expect to write a novel in one sitting just because you're high. Instead, break your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks and give yourself ample time to complete them.


Avoid Distraction

One of the biggest challenges of using cannabis for productivity is the potential for distraction.  You might start with the best intentions but then find yourself getting lost in a Wikipedia rabbit hole or spending an hour staring at a houseplant.  To avoid this, set boundaries for yourself and eliminate distractions. Turn off your phone, close unnecessary tabs on your computer, and create a quiet, focused environment


Take Breaks

Just because you're using cannabis to increase productivity doesn't mean you have to work non-stop.  Taking breaks is essential for maintaining focus and creativity. Use your breaks to stretch, move around, or do something unrelated to work. This will help prevent burnout and keep you motivated.


Stay Hydrated

Cannabis can dehydrate, so drinking plenty of water throughout the day is essential. Not only will this keep you hydrated and healthy, but it will also help flush out any THC metabolites in your system. Who doesn't love a good excuse to use a fancy water bottle?

Don't Overdo It

As with any substance, it's essential to use cannabis in moderation. If you overdo it, you're more likely to experience adverse side effects like anxiety, paranoia, or decreased motivation.  So, start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find your sweet spot. And remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution.

Use Music to Enhance Focus

Music can be a powerful tool for increasing focus and productivity, and cannabis can help enhance the experience. Choose manageable instrumental or ambient music, and experiment with different genres to find what works best for you. Music can be a great way to stay in the zone and tune out distractions, whether classical, electronic, or lo-fi hip-hop beats.


Get Plenty of Sleep

Finally, remember the importance of a good night's sleep. Cannabis can help alleviate insomnia and promote relaxation, but it does not replace a healthy sleep routine. So ensure you're getting enough restful sleep each night to help you stay energized and productive during the day.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a natural way to increase productivity, cannabis might be worth a try. Just remember to choose the right strain, experiment with different consumption methods, set realistic goals, avoid distractions, take breaks, stay hydrated, don't overdo it, listen to the right music, and get plenty of rest.

So, the next time you're feeling stuck or unmotivated, give cannabis a chance. Who knows, it might just be the productivity hack you've been looking for. And who says being productive can't be fun? With cannabis, you can tap into your creativity, get in the zone, and tackle your to-do list with a smile. Just be sure to stay focused and avoid any munchies-induced detours.

And there you have it, folks. While it's important to remember that everyone's experience with cannabis is different, these tips can help you use it responsibly and effectively. So go forth, get creative, and blaze your way to productivity. Happy smoking!
