Something You Should Know!

The importance of keeping your medicating tools and devices clean and sanitized is critical for good health and preventing the spread of flu’s and colds especially this time of year.

Here are a few reasons, do’s and don’ts and try not to’s, to keep us all happy, healthy, and strong.

1) When sharing a pipe or bong or anything with a mouth piece one is less likely to pass on germs by simply wiping the rim or mouth piece with a sanitary wipe or an alcohol pad.

2) Tastes much better.

3) Smokes better-use less-save $

4) Burns better-use less-save $

5) It is good to change your bong water or water pipe water every time you use it ideally. The medicine will taste better but the germs do collect in the water.

Years ago a flu type illness was spreading among people in a community known for its beauty and incredible herb. The doctors in that area finally traced it to the contaminated bong water that was being inhaled along with germs.

6) Remember we are all here to medicate. A good portion of patients are chronically to often seriously ill. When smoking in groups, smoke your own. It may appear to be rude but you are actually saving your life and maybe someone else’s. If you feel like you must explain then do so. I do and most people, if not all, understand. It’s better than to put anyone at risk.

7) If you are sick please stay at home. If you need medicine send your care provider to pick up your medication for you. Therefore one will be less likely to contract germs or pass them on endangering the lives of others.

SAVE A LIFE, KEEP A FRIEND!

8) A simple recipe for a great cleaner for most types of smoking tools, especially glass, is to use table salt or any type of salt. The coarser the salt, the better. Mix with isopropyl alcohol. Pour the mixture into the bong or place your pipe into a bowl with the mixture inside. Let it sit for awhile. You will find that most resin will wash off with warm to hot water. I would not recommend boiling your pipes or devices. You will save yourself a lot of money instead of buying many overpriced liquids that claim to do the same thing a little salt and alcohol can do!
