Types of Smoking Pipes

Cannabis smoking devices are made in a variety of shapes and sizes. When considering vaporization as a means of medical-grade cannabis administration, consumers seek increased functionality, quality, and reliability in their devices to ensure optimum efficiency.

One of the best devices is smoking pipes. There are many kinds of smoking pipes, and each one has its unique purpose and benefits. Smoking pipes come in various shapes and sizes and are made from different materials.

If you wish to know the benefits of using smoking pipes like a Sherlock Holmes pipe and how to select one for yourself, here is the information.

Glass Smoking Pipes

Glass smoking pipes are some of the most popular smoking pipes on the market. They are made from high-quality borosilicate glass, making them durable and heat resistant. Glass pipes are also easy to clean and maintain.

Borosilicate is a type of glass known for its durability and heat resistance. This type of glass is often used in scientific experiments because it can withstand high temperatures without breaking.

Glass pipes are made in various shapes and sizes, and they can be used for dry herb, concentrate, or oil.

• Dry Herbs – Dry herbs include tobacco, marijuana, and other plant materials. These herbs are usually smoked in a pipe or bong.
• Concentrates – Concentrates are cannabis extract made by extracting THC and other cannabinoids from plant material. Concentrates are smoked in a pipe or bong.
• Oils – Oils are made of cannabis extract dissolved in a carrier oil, such as propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. Oils can be smoked in a pipe, bong, or vaporizer.

There are many different types of glass pipes, and each one has its purpose and benefits.

Chamber Pipes

Chamber pipes are primarily used for smoking concentrates. They have a chamber that holds the concentrate while you smoke it. This type of pipe is ideal for smokers who want to enjoy the flavor of their concentrate.

Bubbler Pipes

Bubbler pipes are designed for smoking dry herbs. They contain a chamber that captures the cannabis as you smoke it. The style is excellent for smokers who appreciate their marijuana taste.

Recycler Pipes

Recycler pipes are designed for smoking dry herbs. This pipe style is perfect for smokers who want to savor their weed’s essence. You can also use a conical pipe to smoke your marijuana.

Tips on How To Find the Right Online Head Shop

As an ardent smoker, it is convenient to have all the smoking equipment and accessories at your disposal, as you may require them at any time. You might want to enjoy a bong session one day and try out a chillum for an entirely different experience on the other. What if you’ve run out of an ash catcher, rolling paper, or other accessories? To buy smoking items in such circumstances, you will have to visit a head shop.

A head shop refers to a retail store specializing in smoking equipment and accessories. However, an online head shophas plenty of advantages over a traditional one, including convenience, range of items available, and the user experience in general. Unsurprisingly, online head shops have gained rapid popularity among smokers ever since they made their appearance. But before you place your order after having found a shop, here are some things you might consider taking into account.

What kind of items do they have?

A successful online head shop will usually have many smoking items and accessories in stock. That is one of their significant advantages over brick-and-mortar shops. You could visit their website to check the kind of items they have. It should at least have bongs, glass pipes, and bubblers in store, along with a wide range of varieties of other smoking items. For example, bongs are one of the most common smoking devices and come in various types such as scientific, colorful, large, and mini, with each offering a unique experience. Similarly, glass pipes are also of multiple types such as spoon, Sherlock, or Gandalf, color changing and themed, and even though their functioning and body parts might be the same, they vary by their shape and size and other factors.

Do they have the accessories you require?

After you have thoroughly browsed their website and checked the kind of items they have in store, you must check what accessories they have. Accessories complete and even enhance your smoking experience. Ash catchers, bowls, down-stems, storage, cases, cleaner screens, rolling paper, rolling trays, and grinders are some of the accessories that an online shop should have in its collection. For instance, a rolling tray will help you avoid scattering your tobacco or herb on your table, desk, or bedsheet. Rolling paper is indispensable while smoking a cigarette. The ash and debris would enter the bong’s bowl without ash catchers, rendering the entire experience unpleasant.

Do they have any items on sale?

Online shops enjoy several advantages over offline stores, one of which is their customers’ discounts and lower prices. Before placing an order, you might want to consider checking if the store offers any items on sale or has a separate section on its website dedicated to on-sale items. Simultaneously, it would be a good idea to check the quality of the product on sale and whether that impacts its quality in any way. You could also check the prices of the items and compare them to check the difference.

Do they offer the highest quality products?

Even if an online head shop has the product you are looking for and is offering it at a sale or low prices, you will not find that very useful if the products are not of the highest quality. Having high-quality smoking equipment is necessary because you will inhale the smoke inside your body, and a defective or slightly damaged product could interfere with your experience. Experts agree that glass-made devices are better than plastic, silicone, or wooden ones. This is because they don’t influence the product’s flavor, and are available in various shapes, sizes, and designs, while also being easy to clean. Pipes made from glass are considered far better than wooden pipes as they can withstand high temperatures without affecting the smoke’s flavor.

What is their return policy?

Even after thoroughly researching a product, you might not find it to your liking or satisfaction at times. In those situations, it would help if you could return the product without any hassle in exchange for a refund or a similar item. You must ask the company about its return policy or read the terms and conditions to understand its policy on returned items. It would be highly convenient if the online head store allowed you to return your item within a month, as 30 days is sufficient for assessing the quality and performance of a smoking item. You should also ask them about the extra charges on returned orders, if any. If the store has a refund policy, ask them how much they usually take to refund your money or replace an item.

Do they have elaborate product descriptions?

You might have all the information you need before buying a glass pipe, bubbler, chillum, bong, or any other item. Even then, the shop should have a product description that clearly describes the item in detail and includes details such as its specifications. You will find the buying process convenient if you have an idea of the item before adding it to your cart. Reliable head stores provide the product’s image with a zoom-in feature to enable you to have a close look while paying attention to every detail.

What do other customers say about them?

Reading the customer testimonials is a time-tested way of knowing the reliability of a head shop. Smokers, just like you, will not buy products from a company if they aren’t convinced about its quality, performance, and customer satisfaction. You should visit the customer testimonials section on the shop’s website and check the number of reviews of a product along with the stars customers assign to each of them. If the customers have given the highest rating to any product, it is possible that the product has been able to deliver what it promises. 

How do they pack your products?

It is vital to receive your pipe, bong, bubbler, or any other item intact, without damaging its body, and packing plays a significant role in that. You could ask the company or browse their website to learn about their packaging method. Bubble wraps are one of the safest ways of packing and protecting an item, especially a fragile one since its air-filled hemispheres provide maximum cushioning. Another question you might consider asking the company is the period within which you must return the item.

You can use questions and information such as these to form an idea about an online head shop and decide if you should buy any smoking item from them. If it is your first time, you must pay attention to every detail to ensure you get the best experience online.

Haunted Devil’s Slide & Point Sur Lighthouse in Big Sur

The year was 1972.  My high school friends Eugene Pointer, Willie Reid, John Hester and I, headed down to the Point Sur Lighthouse in Big Sur.  My high school friends and I, at the time lived in San Bruno.  For kicks, we would sometimes hitchhike up and down Highway #1.  We would hang out at Devil’s Slide on Highway #1.   If Eugene was driving, he would always stop by Free Beach and San Gregorio Beach to check out the women on the beach.  If I was hitchhiking on Highway #1 by myself, I would stop over at Sanchez Adobe Ranch to see my then girlfriend at the time, named Rachel Nunez.  Rachel’s father would have me cleaning out the horse’s stalls, before I could ride one of the horses with Rachel.  

Areas along Highway #1 are very haunted, especially around Devil’s Slide.  Many cars have went over the sheer cliffs of Devil’s Slide.  Eugene claims that on one night, he actually saw a car go over Devil’s Slide.  Eugene parked his bright orange Volkswagon along the embankment and looked over the cliff.  Eugene did not see a crashed car.  The first thought in Eugene’s mind is that he saw a ghostly car go over the cliff.  That is the only explanation that Eugene could think of.  Along Devil’s Slide there also have been suicidal jumpers.  

Here is an example of a man and woman that lost their lives at Devil’s Slide. according to a local news site:  “A man whose van swerved off Devil’s Slide yesterday was ejected safely onto the rocky cliff but apparently plunged to his death after vowing to rescue his wife from the sea below.  Drivers along Highway 1 told authorities they saw the southbound Ford Aerostar veer over a dirt berm and tumble off the roadside at about 3 p.m. The man was ejected from the van about halfway down the rocky, 400-foot cliff above the sea.  Another driver pulled over and tried to help the man, but he refused assistance, tussling with his would-be-rescuer, authorities said.  “The victim stated ‘No, I have to go save my wife,’ ” said San Mateo County Sheriff’s Sergeant John Quinlan. “The way the witness told it to us is he actually walked over the cliff. It’s quite tragic.”

In 1967, a San Francisco woman throws her 9- and 10-year-old children over the cliff at Devils Slide, then plunges after them to her death.  There have been many, many deaths at Devil’s Slide and the name Devil’s Slide is appropriate for this dangerous piece of the highway.  I remember driving along Devil’s Slide on a foggy day.  I drove 5 miles an hour and prayed and kept praying, until I was out of the fog and away from Devil’s Slide.  I white knuckled the drive and was sweating profusely.  Present Day:  Devil’s Slide is NOW Devil’s Slide Trail, a 1.3-mile pedestrian and bike path.  

Down the road from Devil’s Slide is Big Sur.  Big Sur has a picturesque lighthouse that has been illuminating the waters off the coast of Big Sur since 1889.  Legend has it that the original keeper makes his ghostly appearance seen at the lighthouse and he still wears his original uniform.  Mike Bishop of Monterey says that on a foggy day at this lighthouse, he went back into time and heard people screaming.  He looked towards the rocky edge and saw a boat with people in it and they appeared to be bleeding.  Mike yelled at them and said: “Hold on, I will get help!”  When Mike finished his sentence, the boat and the people vanished.  Mike to this day feels he had a glimpse of the past and witnessed a tragedy that happened many, many years ago.  

Nestled on the rocky coastline between Carmel and Big Sur, the Point Sur lighthouse sits perched on a volcanic rock, dutifully warning nearby ships that the Pacific’s treacherous coast approaches. Despite its powerful beam, the Point Sur lighthouse has witnessed its share of shipwrecks. The spirits of those who perished in the many wrecks are said to haunt the lighthouse and its surrounding buildings.  A tall man in dark blue, 19th-century garb has often been seen lingering around the historic tower. The lighthouse is now part of Point Sur State Historic Park and is open for guided tours.  

My experience at the lighthouse is that I was outside of the lighthouse and felt a tapping on my shoulder.  I believe a ghost was trying to get my undivided attention.  I believe that Devil’s Slide and Point Sur Lighthouse has plenty of residual energy that plays back scenes from various tragedies.  These tragedies live on through negative energy that is impacted into the atmosphere.  There may be some intelligent haunting at these two locations, like the ghost that tapped me on my shoulder, but I believe that there is plenty of residual haunting due to the many tragic events that happened at these two areas along the California coastline.

Costa Rica Biometric Bicentennial Passport

Costa Ricans requesting passports will now get a much updated version, the new “Biometric Bicentennial Passport,” which is much safer as it’s harder to forge or for someone else to use. 

Some of its safety features include holograms, visible figures in special print, 3D drawings, and a secure polycarbonate sheet with personal information. Additionally, it’ll have an ID number that is different from the person’s regular ID card number. 

The new type of passport was announced last year and a pilot plan for it was started on February 23 of this year. As of today, March 6, the passport database is being officially changed to store the data from the biometric passports. This is a big step in technological modernization and digitization.

The new passports will have a chip with biometric data such as all ten fingerprints. The old ones only required two fingerprints. Another update is that the person can indicate their perceived gender on the personal information part.  

The passports will have a cost of $75 plus ₡250. They will have a validity of 10 years. 

The artwork on them was all designed by Costa Ricans. 

You can make an appointment to get a passport at:

https://www.migracion.go.cr/Paginas/Pasaportes-y-Permisos-de-Salida.aspx

Those who already have passports do not need to order a new one at this time, as the old ones will remain valid until their original expiry dates. That will be at some point within the next ten years. 

Cases of emergency travel that must happen today should be attended to in the central offices of the DGME in La Uruca.

Costa Rica Medicinal Cannabis & Industrial Hemp Law

The medicinal cannabis and industrial hemp law was signed by President Carlos Alvarado on March 2. In January, he had partially vetoed it. He promised to leave the regulation published before the change in government. 

Costa Rica is now one of just a few countries where it is legal to produce, distribute, and consume medical cannabis and industrial hemp. Of course, there will be strict rules to control, regulate, and grant permits related to these activities.

The law allows for the cultivation, production, industrialization, and marketing of non-psychoactive cannabis and it’s by-products. All parts of the plant can be used, such as seeds, derivatives, and extracts, as long as the THC content is less than 1% by dry weight. It also authorizes the use of psychoactive cannabis for medical and therapeutic purposes in cases where doctors deem this would increase the patient’s quality of life.

Industrial hemp can be used to make ropes, construction panels, shampoo, clothing, hemp cement, plastics with natural origin, and many other products. It can be used to derive 24,000 by-products. The global hemp industry was estimated at $5,733 million between January and October 2020. Opening up this economic activity in Costa Rica will have a positive effect on small agricultural producers.

Haunted Tombstone, Old Tucson Studios

I have a strong connection to the State of Arizona.  I have a daughter named Illianna Vega, a former Tucson police officer that lives in Arizona and I have other connections that I consult with in regard to paranormal activities in Arizona.  Illianna is very familiar with ghosts.  She was also a correctional officer for two Arizona state prisons.  Prisons are always haunted by prisoners who have died of natural causes in prison, committed suicide or were murdered by other inmates.  Arizona has many “paranormal hotspots”.  When I was stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona in 1979, I investigated UFO activity and spiritual activity at Superstition Mountains and Sedona.  In 1979, Illianna Vega’s mother would take me to very haunted places like Tombstone and the Old Tucson Studios.  While I was in Military Intelligence school in Fort Huachuca, I heard stories of “ghostly soldiers” that would walk around the perimeters of the fort.  Military Police who were on late night duty would see these ghostly soldiers and confront them, only to see them vanish before their eyes.  

TOMBSTONE
When visiting Tombstone, you can feel the presence of being watched.  When I walked around Boothill and came upon Billy Clampton’s grave, I distinctly heard a man whispering in my ear.  Boothill is very haunted.  I am not the only one that heard whispering in my ear.  An unnamed journalist said he was visiting Boothill and heard a strange tiny voice.  The journalist was at an unmarked grave and the whispering started.  The childlike whisper says:  “It was nice of you to do that.”
The journalist was shocked that he heard a disembodied voice at the unmarked grave.  The journalist stepped away from the grave and finally gained enough nerve and came back.  Then again, he hears a childlike whisper and the whispery sentence was: “You came back. You must like to play with me a lot.”  The journalist could not believe what he hard, then all of a sudden he hears childlike laughter.  The journalist at this point of time is getting scared and with his peripheral vision, sees a humanlike shadow.  The shadow was moving along the tombstones, getting closer to the journalist.  The journalist had enough and ran out of Boothill cemetery.   Other ghosts that haunt Boothill is China Mary.  She is also known as the Lady in Red, because her flowing dress is the color of red. China Mary is a Tombstone notable.  The living China Mary was aka Sing Choy, an astute businesswoman who managed the Tombstone’s General Store.  She was also the overseer of Tombstone’s opium dens and Tombstone’s Redlight District.  China Mary was the “god mother” aka the Madam of the Redlight District.  China Mary was known to run her opium dens and Redlight District like a tight ship and she made a lot of money from her legal and illegal businesses.  Because of the strong money flow into her purse, she was also known to be a generous woman for people in need and showed compassion to the poor people of Tombstone. China Mary is sighted at Boothill Cemetery and is also seen “gliding” around the town late at night.  China Mary may have died in 1906 by heart attack, but she still makes her presence known and keeps watch on the town of Tombstone, like she did when she was alive. Another ghost that makes his nightly rounds is the ghost of Billy Clanton.  Locals and tourists say that Billy Clanton’s ghost is known to patrol the town and he walks up and down Allen Street.  Billy lost his life at the gunfight at the OK Corral.  Billy is another one buried at Boothill.  Notable markers include Marshal Fred White, killed by Curly Bill Brocius, and Tom and Frank McLaury, buried alongside Billy Clanton. Curly Bill and the McLaurys were lost to the “Gunfight at the OK Corral,” the infamous 30-second shootout.  Jack Dunlop aka “Three Fingered Jack,” is another Boothill resident. Three Fingered Jack was shot to death during an attempted holdup. The ghost of Three Fingered Jack was seen at the Tombstone Courthouse by a tourist named Jay Mattheus from Phoenix.  Jay says he was visiting the courthouse with his family and his little daughter ran up to him terrified and said a sloppy looking man with 3 fingers was asking her where she was from.  Jay says he saw a disheveled man walking away from his daughter and vanish before his eyes.  When Jay got back to Phoenix he discovered on the Internet that Three Fingered Jack lived in Tombstone and he believes to this day that his daughter encountered Three Fingered Jack. 

OLD TUCSON STUDIOS
Illianna Vega’s mother in 1979 drove me down to Nogales, Mexico and showed me an old church haunted by a ghostly priest.  The priest is said to walk around the old church and if you encounter the priest, he will display the sign of the cross with his right hand and then vanish.  I was fascinated with this story and learned that there was also a ghostly priest seen not at a church, but seen at Old Tucson Studios!  I believe that this priest ghost seen at Old Tucson Studios is probably an actor that portrayed a priest and enjoys that role in the afterlife.  Doug Elliott of Los Angeles and former resident of Arizona says that he encountered the ghostly priest at Old Tucson Studios and the priest gave him a quizzical look, smiled and  then laughed uncontrollably.  Doug couldn’t figure out why this guy in a priest costume was laughing at him and Doug placed his hand on his shoulder, only to feel nothingness.  Doug was taken aback, and to his amazement the priest disappeared. Doug did not recognize the face of the ghost, but it was something that gives him goosebumps every time he thinks about this encounter.

Another ghost that is seen is the ghost of a very recognizable face.  The face of actor Leif Erickson who played Big John Cannon on High Chaparral.   When I walked around the High Chaparral lot, I heard strong footsteps behind me and when I turned around there was no one there.  Could I have possibly heard the footsteps of Leif Erickson?  Many tourists make claim that they have seen the ghost of Leif Erickson wearing his cowboy get up.  Nicole Howell, a tourist from Flagstaff, Arizona says that she saw the ghost of Leif Erickson and he showed her recognition by smiling at her and gave her a short wave before vanishing.

SOME HISTORY OF OLD TUCSON STUDIOS:
Old Tucson Studios is an American movie studio and theme park just west of Tucson, Arizona, adjacent to the Tucson Mountains and close to the western portion of Saguaro National Park. Built in 1939 for the movie Arizona (1940), it has been used for the filming of many movies and television westerns since then, such as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Rio Bravo (1959), El Dorado (1966), and Little House on the Prairie TV series of the 1970s–1980s. It was opened to the public in 1960, and historical tours were offered about the movies filmed there, along with live cast entertainment featuring stunt shows and shootouts. On September 8, 2020, Pima County, which owns the land on which it stands, announced that it was being shut down for an “indefinite” period.

On April 24, 1995, a fire destroyed much of Old Tucson Studios. Buildings, costumes, and memorabilia were lost in the blaze. Among the memorabilia destroyed was the wardrobe from Little House on the Prairie. Also lost in the blaze was the only copy of a short film about the history of Old Tucson Studios. This film included rare behind the scenes footage of stars such as William Holden, John Wayne and Angie Dickinson. The Reno, a steam locomotive from the Virginia and Truckee Railroad on static display in the park, was also badly damaged.

Garage Doors: The Main Thing You Need to Know

The abundance of varieties of garage systems disorients buyers. As a result, they are faced with difficulties and have no idea of what to purchase. To make the right choice, first, check out the best garage door manufacturers in your city. But that’s not the only thing that you should consider.

Look for the best options, considering corrosion resistance, heat, and sound insulation properties, garage door spring repair cost, as well as wind loads in the region of residence. That’s quite a lot, right? In this review, you will learn what types of garage doors are and what are their advantages.

Types of Overhead Garage Doors

Overhead sectional doors are market leaders in garage door systems. They are divided into 2 subspecies:

• Sectional;
• Rotary.

The leaf of sectional doors during operation smoothly rises to the ceiling and also smoothly lowers when closing. The mechanism of such gates is simple and consists of 3 components: rails, frame, and leaf. The guides start the movement of the canvas. The components of the canvas are sandwich panels with an anti-corrosion coating. During the manufacture of the gate, a steel frame is used. Thus, the gate is more resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion.

The advantage of these gates is their tightness. They tightly cover every centimetre of the opening, preventing dust, dirt, and precipitation from entering the garage. Sectional doors are famous for their high level of thermal insulation. For the garage, which is located in the annex to the house, the gate will be a real salvation in the winter. The cost of heat will be significantly less due to the isolation of the heat flow. The gate will help to cope with this. Do not be surprised because sectional doors can be with a mounted gate. This is a convenient solution for all family members, so you save the operational life of the structure.

If you want to install more “fancy” doors, take a closer look at the rotary sectional doors. The rails of the swing gates are set in motion by the leaf and change their position during opening and closing. The metal mechanism is strong due to the tensioned springs that regulate the work. In addition, the gate has a cable that counterbalances and holds the weight of the entire structure.

Benefits of Overhead Sectional Garage Doors

Here is a list of the crucial benefits of overhead garage doors:

• They protect against intruders and small rodents;
• The sash is treated with an anti-corrosion coating;
• They are convenient to use as they do not require additional space during operation;
• A wide palette of colours and types of panels;
• The automatic drive can be installed and can also be operated manually;
• Can be installed in houses where the garage is attached to the house to reduce heat loss;
• Simple installation and clear operation algorithm.

Final Say

Overhead garage doors have long been a constant among owners of private homes and commercial properties. They are easy to use, reliably protect vehicles from hijackers, and the garage from the cold. Take all these in mind and make the right choice!
