A smoking device that uses water to filter and cool the smoke or vapor produced from consuming cannabis flower or concentrate. When the user inhales, smoke passes through the water chamber, where it is cooled and partially cleansed of ash or impurities before reaching the lungs. This water filtration results in a smoother, less harsh hit, which many users find more enjoyable and less irritating compared to dry pipes or joints. Water pipes come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, such as glass, silicone, and ceramic. When cannabis was still very illegal, smoke shops had to be very strict that the items they sold were for tobacco use only. Water Pipe was an important word to know because terms like Bong were very taboo in smoke shops.
