W<\/span>e were all young, once \u2014 maybe you still are, in which case you were once younger. We all loved something with the blind, wild recklessness that fades, with wisdom, into bitterness and world-weary cynicism. Maybe you loved a book or a TV show. Perhaps you bestowed this emotion on a puppy, or a best friend.<\/p>\n Me? I loved my one-hitter.<\/p>\n You know the ones \u2014 all metal and painted to look like a cigarette, as if everyone within aroma\u2019s distance wouldn\u2019t notice their sinuses being tickled by terpenes and believe, as I hoped they would, that this is indeed a Camel filter, despite it never seeming to shrink or need ashing, no matter how many times I held flame to tip\u2026 in between shoving bits of rolled-up something down the end.<\/p>\n Oh, the times we had. We were inseparable: Me, the one-hitter and the endless supply of ground-up homegrown<\/a> I had to feed it, like an adolescent cat with no self-control.<\/p>\n But then I grew up \u2014 we all did. Sleeker pipes<\/a> and high-tech vapes<\/a> bumped one-hitters off the smoke shop shelves. I stopped caring and ended the charade. I also lost the faux cigarette one-hitter somewhere; if you found it (kicked to the side on the concert-hall floor or underneath some brush and pine needles at the campground) please mail it in for a reward.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve changed, but so have one-hitters. Unlike me, one-hitters have changed for the better. Enter, then, the simple yet sophisticated SilverStick<\/a> \u2014 the perfect one-hitter for the recreational cannabis legalization era.<\/p>\n Upon visual contact, we\u2019re immediately calmed and welcomed by the beckon of the familiar. SilverStick bears some resemblance to the one-hitters of yore. It is roughly cigarette-shaped and sized, can be stashed away in the palm and operates on the same cutting-edge technology: Hold a lighter to the pea-sized ball of cannabis deposited in the end that\u2019s not between your lips and breathe.<\/p>\n But! There is more. There are filters.<\/p>\n Where the old one-hitters\u2019 cheap metal was painted cigarette-filter brown (or filter speckly if you had a top-end model), SilverStick has a removable chamber to hold a simple filter. For anyone who\u2019s had a mighty heroic breath rewarded by a nugget of hot flaming ash hurtling down the throat or merely paused to savor the flavors of heated metal and butane, the utility \u2014 nay, necessity \u2014 of a filter needs no justification.<\/p>\n As important as function is form, and for $55, SilverStick comes tucked away in a neat leather case. Held together with metal studs, it evokes visions of airship captains, puffing away on sparklingly shiny tubes of their own, red-rimmed eyes hidden behind their goggles\u2019 tinted lenses.<\/p>\n For a few dollars more, yours can be packaged in the old-school wooden dugouts for easy loading. In either case, in a package smaller than a pack of cigarettes, you have: a SilverStick; a lighter; a plastic stash tube big enough to store a few grams; a metal shepherds crook for cleaning out the memories of hits past and a compartment to hide a few spare filters.<\/p>\n Everything you need, and nothing you don\u2019t. This is what being grown up was supposed to be.<\/p>\n Silver Stick\u2019s appeal is universal. On a recent trip south of the border<\/a>, I found myself lacking the level of comfort necessary to start breaking up buds and rolling joints on the Tecate-stained barroom table, so instead I showed off the SilverStick\u2019s value, which was a perfect icebreaker, and well worth it \u2014 even if it took all the negotiation skills I\u2019ve learned to lure the now-coveted stick back into my own palm.<\/p>\n TELL US,\u00a0<\/strong>do you have a one-hitter pipe?<\/p>\n The post SilverStick: The One-Hitter Pipe, All Grown Up<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s still utility in a low-fi, indestructible metal one-hitter. With the Silver Stick, there\u2019s also refinement \u2014 and a smoother smoke. We were all young, once \u2014 maybe you still are, in which case you were once younger.
