Apollo Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 this is not meant to be a drug topic, but it is a serius question and problem that i might have. I lent a friend of mine my hookah and i think he might have smoked pot out of it. Not sure, i cleaned it very very well and ran water through it the works. but if he did, will that residue be in the hookah forever, i dont want some crazy ass cop to take it in for testing and find pot resedue, that would not go over well... anyone know anything about this kind of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbaby Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I bet if you clean it out really well it shouldnt be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 would the cops really do that? i don`t think it will stay in there if you clean it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that to the fact that a lot are ignorant of hookah use, and yes, they would I had a friend who would always use bleach on his pipes for one good wash then wash them with hot, soapy water a few times, then finish it up with a couple of hot water only washes. Seemed to work well for him, even when his probation officer took one for testing.By the way, high school friend, so don't lump me in the same category please...

yashman19 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 They do make products that are designed to clean out weed pipes and restore them to their original clean-ness, so why woulnd't that work on a hookah thats only been used once or twice for weed?Just go to a headshop, as I'm sure thats the easiest place to find the stuff.

unleashtheclown Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) You could use formula 420, but if ur really worried as I would be, I suggest using rubbing alcohol and salt as thats what works best and cheapest easy to find solution. Formula 420 is just pumice and a general purpose cleaner and uses the pumice as an abrasive to remove the residue, but alcohol and salt works just as well, if not better. Just pour some into the stem with Your finger on one end and then dump some salt in there and shake it around, do the same for the base.

BUT if he did it only once there is almsot no build up cus of that so a normal brush cleanign with some lemon juice ought to do you fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagelessdude Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've heard formula 420 works wonders getting those resins out. I thought about buying just as a general cleaner for my hookahs, but decided I dont need it seeing as how all I smoke is tobacco. But I recall seeing formula 420 on a hookah site even, so I suppose it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 There are some good suggestions here on how to get it clen again....Can you guess what my suggestion is on how to not let it get "dirty" again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Step 1. Ask friend if he smoked nefarious substance out of hookah.Step 2. When he says no, punch him in the face for lying.Step 3. After knocking him out cold, remove any money left in wallet.Step 4. Leave nefarious-residued hookah as a guilt offering for the bloodshed. It may seem like you would never have that kind of test put on something you own but if you are ever involved in something of controversy, those involved will seek to demonize what you do. A hookah would give a good reason for them to believe you were a "drug fiend" and imagine how things might turn out when they test your hookah for residue, it came up positive. Follow my four step program for a new hookah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'd be a lot more worried about the hose coming up with some residue, seeing's how it's harder to clean. If the stem's got a smooth metal sleeve in it, then just the basics should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Allias got a hell of a point...that hose is probably the hugest problem.My friend has had his bowl taken once for testing, and amazingly he passed it, when all he did was clean it with rubbing alchohol. However a guess a glass bowl and a metal hookah are different animals...also there are nice little spots in that hookah that I don't think its ever possible to clean. Harrumph.I would just get a new hookah if you're really worried about it...and be damned careful as to you give it to.Or theres ghostys plan, which I fully endorse XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it from me (the person, not the movie character), to ever criticize someone about that, well, hobby. I just want to know if this "friend" is fictitious. Or maybe I'm the paranoid one.
