Imagine Jamaica, where reportedly Rastafarians traditionally attach a flexible extension tube (or hookah hose) to a chillum, now developing a high-volume export (and tourist) industry in narrow, screened long-drawtube chillums (see wikiHow.com: Make Smoke Pipes for Everyday Objects).  Imagine the creative fantasy of a million artisans inscribing positive messages-- calligraphic and pictorial-- on the sides of the 4-5" wood, pottery or metal "handle" in which the head (socket wrench, etc.) is embedded.

(True, Mike Dar (above) could have included the $igarette companies among his list of corporate oligarchies opposing cannabis liberation, precisely for the reason that widespread adoption of a device of this kind, permitting 25-mg single tokes of ANY herb including tobackgo, kills the interest in buying ever more packs of wasteful unhealthy 700-mg paperburners, and soon it will be BAIL OUT PHILIP MORRIS.)

1.  The narrowness of the crater permits control over airfeed-- so that with a one-hitter, by holding flame an inch below the opening you can maintain 385F/197C vaporizing temperature in air entering upon the sifted herb granules inside.  (Learn to substitute the VAPORIZING concept for the present faulty "smoking" (combustion) disaster of suckers inhaling mind-numbing carbon monoxide and thinking the herb got them stoned.)

2.  A screen in the crater permits using even-sifted particle size which vaporizes out cannabinoids well, without particles getting drawn down into the channel.

3.  Long drawtube (a) permits good view of vape-lighting procedure and (b) gives additional cooling time before gases reach your trachea.

Not only Jamaica needs export earnings-- 2 million Haitians need handwork employment which uses their talent, same can be said for sweatshop workers in Tijuana currently doing less beneficial work because the corps (cops) are paying for it.

No figures are floated for how many cannabis users there are today worldwide, but if 1.2 billion $igarette puffsuckers are converted this will create a market for 10 BILLION ONE-HIT UTENSILS-- one at bedside, one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen, one in the wood shop, one in the portfolio,  one in the glove compartment, one in the locker, one to give a friend, several spares in case you lose any, etc..  

Shocking prediction: legalizing cannabis will REDUCE consumption because elimination of wasteful joint-smoking will more than compensate for increase in number of  users.
