Test Drive: Each week, the Huffington Post Canada's Living team will try out something that has sparked our curiosity, and as long as we live to tell the tale, we'll let you know all about it.
Tobacco is usually smoked in commercially made or sometimes âroll your ownâ cigarettes, while marijuana is smoked in a variety of ways, such as: 1  A pipe with/without tobacco; 2  A joint roll your own cigarette with a long cardboard tip, with/without tobacco;  A bong (water pipe) or bucket bong with/without tobacco.
Those methods involve smoke inhalation and have inherent health risks. Combustion of any plant material releases toxic compounds and irritants, and marijuana is no exception. In fact, smoking an unfiltered joint deposits more tar in the lungs than an equal amount of tobacco. Vaporizers are able to circumvent these risks by gently heating marijuana to a thermal sweet spot that releases active compounds without creating smoke.
