Historical Hotboxing

[FlorpIncarnate]

"The Scythians take cannabis seed, creep in under the felts, and throw it on the red-hot stones. It smolders and sends up such billows of steam-smoke that no Greek vapor bath can surpass it. The Scythians howl with joy in these vapor-baths, which serve them instead of bathing, for they never wash their bodies with water."

Herodotus, "The Histories", Book 4, Ch. 74

I thought some of you might find this funny.... Herodotus lived between 484 BC - 430?BC, and here he tells us that an entire culture bathed themselves with Hawaiian botboxes instead of water. That's awesome.... they must have all smelled like weed all the time.... an entire civilization of potheads... if I ever find a time machine I know where I'll be going...

Hawaiian Hotboxes are great... Remind me of some Foggy Days I've been in on the North Island.

It's awesome because the really good ones are like endurance tests. You can always tell who the real heads are after a good 20-30 sweaty minutes with the bath, shower, and sink all running super hot. :D

hmm. my experiences have taught me that hotboxing is for people who havent bagged on their lungs yet...(i.e. people who havent been smoking for years)
the true heads only do stuff like that once in a blue moon, or else theyd be hooked up to respiratory gear before the age of 30.

those endurance tests are bad for your health and probably not worth the slight increase in the high.

moderate special occasion use of this technique probably isnt too bad tho ( no worse than chain smoking joints, or hotknifing newayz) . party on !

shit i cant even remember the last time i was in a hawaiian hotbox
all this creativeness when it comes to smokin has just gone out the window

i'm 24. smoking consistently since i was 18 or so.

think about that. i wanna get high, not spend half an hour in a bathroom sweating my balls off.

just like blunts/crazy big bongs/gigantic doobs. they are all good in their own way, but if you use that method all the time it gets played out.

You want to join a society that hotboxes instead of bathing?

As if potheads didn't stink enough.

PS: Scythians would eat you alive, they were bad ass mofo's.
