yea, foil is kinda gross. i wouldnt worry too much about toxic fumes. Id recomend a glass pipe to get a nice full flavor out of the weed but you would probly end up paying more for the pipe than the grass. lol. a joint should do you fine.
Man, I love apples when there's nothing else around. I know some folks who like to eat the apple afterward, but I just bury the remnants. 100% biodegradable pipe!
Personally i think they are a better smoke than a normal pipe(not a bong though). None of that woody or metallic taste and they sort of filter the smoke (the ashes stick to the fruit).
i think it's completely absurd how people say they don't get high the first few times or the first 20 times they smoke. all you have to do is inhale the smoke. don't take such a large hit that you cannot inhale it... the first time i smoked weed, i got very, very, high. let me warn you that you may also be high for quite a while. my first time lasted me nearly 2 days. obviously it was not INTENSE for 2 days, but i still felt my body tingling long after the initial high had passed. going to work/school high is generally a bad idea, although a small group of people can do it without any notable consequences. marijuana impairs certain abilities (namely attention, learning, and memory) and will likely interfere with various tasks in the workplace and in school. you will most likely love the effects of smoked marijuana. find a place away from parents, authority, etc to relax and chill with your buddies. and use a real pipe or roll a blunt/joint. there is no reason to smoke from aluminum. expect to smile bigger than you've ever smiled. and expect to be be blown away by your new perceptions (music, for example...). peace!
