OK - So after my spice had been out of the freezer and dried for about 4 hours, I took my collection down to the pub and asked around for a pipe.

Now usually there would be someone with a "crackpipe", but not last night one of the regulars has decided to give up as he seemed to be having coughing fits.

So my old-school friend suggested using a coke can.

I almost refused, but considering I had enough to fool around with, said OK (even though I know it's a seriously inefficient way of smoking anything), as long as he took the first blasts as he had done DMT before numerous times.

So we crushed the can a little, I made some holes with my knife, and we sprinkled a bunch of ash on the holes.

Then an unknown amount of my first grade (yellowy waxy spice) went on top, and my friend proceeded to hit it...

He holds it in, his face goes a little red as he tries to hold it in, then he exhales and does this twice more or so.

He likes it....

It smells great.

SO I take it out back of the pub (he did it IN the pub garden haha), and start pulling on the can, trying to keep the lighter a reasonable way away from the spice, but I see it light up, so I blow it out.

I mess up - it gets burned up & I forget to hold it in, but I feel it - the body high, and a slight mishmash of light fractal patterning appears before my closed eyes....greens flashing about in the darkness.

I head back into the pub, and everything seems brighter and slightly layered. Everything is also slightly out of focus...the taste lingers in my mouth as I sit down - mmm it's a good taste!! Not harsh at all surprisingly, despite the plant oils.

This is a very small step - but tomorrow I am going to purchase a glass pipe, and blastoff here we go.

Stay tuned for a frequency shift.

lol, funny story.

Just a small recommendation that will make the efficiency of the pipe sky-rocket:
get some copper kitchen scrubbers, tear off a piece and roll it up about the size of a chick-pea or so, burn off the polish, burn it good
Place the copper ball in the bowl of the pipe and when you are ready to smoke just sprinkle or place the spice on the copper and gently melt it in. Now the copper will protect your spice from the flame.

It can still burn, but that will only happen if you REALLY burn the copper, just hold the flame close to the copper without touching and suck the flame into it, WHOOOSH, the effects will amaze you. Just make sure not to go to far - to fast!

Heh. I love a good bit of improvisation. The enthusiasm of your adventure is reminiscent of my early days smoking weed with friends on the school field, in graveyards, behind bins etc.

Yes - well...hehe I wanted to see where it would go.

Not far, as I didn't hold it in...oh and I forgot to snap the toggle thing off...

It was pretty funny though.

I have been looking around and think I'm going to see if I can get a oil burner, or maybe just wait til next weekend when my Polish friend is coming with a glass stem/cone piece... Have used this to smoke weed in, and with the addition of a Copper/stainless steel wool plug, would work a treat I think.
