Solar Toking is a term for liting Marijuana in
bowl or bong, outdoors, using the
power of the
sun and a magnifying glass or fresnel lens. By angling the magnifying glass or lens between the marijuana and the
sun and focusing the
beam into a dot the marijuana will ignite.
The reasons for doing this are:
1). Taste -
Marijuana smoked in this was is undiluted by butane or
flint smoke from lighters.
2). Burns Clean -
The Marijuana smoked in this way burns clean rather than absorbing butane and chemicals from lighters.
3). Green Hits to the end -
The
small area that is combusted by a beam of
light allows for continuious inhalations of fresh Marijuana material.
4). Vaporizing -
With practice a Solar Toker can produce an affect simulair to Vaporizing without urning the material. By controlling the focus of light the
bowl can be heated up releasing Marijuanas essential vapors.
5). No
Wind -
The wind blows out the flame of a lighter. The Suns rays are not affected by wind.
6). Efficency -
Solar Toking is very efficent because it does not destroy and incinerate Marijuana material as a lighter does. Solar Toking can be precise so that no Material is wasted.
7). Time -
Solar Toking on a clear day, Marijuana can be ignited almost instantly if angled and aimed properly.
