Less commonly referred to as a yacht, a popper is a method in smoking marijuana in which
the smoker packs tobacco under his weed. Common methods of packing poppers include cutting part of a cigarette off (about a 1/4 centimeter or more) and putting it in a metal tube, known as the popper piece or popper cannon, which you will use as a
replacement for your downstem. The cigarette will get stuck, then you pack however much weed you want
on top of it. Another method of packing a popper is to use a normal down-stem and bowl, and squeeze the tobacco out of the end of the cigarette into your bowl, then packing the weed on top. To smoke a popper, you pull very slowly, making the smoke come out very thick. This is known as milking the smoke. Once the marijuana is almost completely burnt, you start to pull much faster, burning the rest of the marijuana, and all the tobacco, and pulling all the ash into the water. As soon as the bowl piece has no more weed or tobacco in it, you pull the bowl out and breathe in
all the smoke. Some pros about smoking poppers is that you get your high almost instantly after you smoke the bowl, and the huge head rush you get, similar to
taking a massive drag off of a cigarette. There are also downsides to smoking poppers, which include the terrible effect it has on your lungs after taking poppers for months and months. It also makes your bong get very dirty, covered with resin all over the inside of the glass, which is also very hard to clean.
