how about rolling the shit a little loose? you're right though, waste of weed, but tastes great.
blunts are dirt weed things for me these days. buy an o and pass around 2 fat bluts. mmm so many good memories.
bowls are the way to go, unless if you have a bong... weed in bongs burn quick because the chamber is so much bigger, i always thought that was the point - getting big , cool, smooth hits. bongs start to get stupid when they exceed 3ft.
bowls scare me sometimes.. seems more cancerous than the other choices.
