Let’s face it: the only downside to smoking weed is the stress it puts on your bank account.

Sometimes, you’re in a pinch and need to stretch out your stash. We get it.

That’s why we’ve curated a list of tips and tricks on how to make your weed last longer so you can keep the high times rolling on a budget.

Bongs are undoubtedly one of the best ways to conserve your weed. Unlike a joint, which is constantly burning and leads to a lot of wasted cannabis flower, a bong allows you to consume all of the smoke that is produced from your burning cannabis. And the amount of cannabis that’s used to create one joint could be used to smoke multiple bong hits.

Finding a functional bong has always been a struggle. Luckily for you, Thick Ass Glass has presented its line of “TAG” glassware, one of the smoothest-hitting bongs to grace your lips. Their 12″ Beaker Bong will indeed have you feeling the smooth bong hits and cerebral sensations you desire as you spark it up. 

We all know how convenient it is to have a crystal clear bong that delivers high-quality tokes. Thick Ass Glass has made it their mission to create the best products suitable for herbalists, new or seasoned. 

The size creates a compact and sleek, able to fit in your backpack without any hassle. This meticulously crafted TAG 12″ Beaker Bong from Thick Ass Glass has become a fan favorite and has many great reviews available at their website if you’re looking for some quality reassurance from past buyers.

Instead of using a grinder that crushes your buds, use the only one that slices them. The KLIP Grinder by HØJ works by slicing your weed with its angled blades. The result is a fluffy consistency that makes your weed burn more evenly and slowly thanks to the greater airflow.

This way your weed not only lasts longer but is more potent. By slicing your weed, the KLIP Grinder preserves the trichomes intact, so the potency stays at its fullest. Its magnets system eliminates friction, preventing the grinder from crushing the buds for maximum functionality.

The investment is worth it, you need less weed to get higher and it lasts longer. That is all you need from a grinder.

If you have always chased the clouds, and are trying to make your herb last longer, DynaVap is the solution.

If you vaporize your weed, you can save a lot of money. That’s because you’ll use less weed overall, and you’ll also get more out of the weed you do use. 

DynaVap is a game-changer for any cannabis enthusiast. 

“Pinners” are simply small, thin joints. While it feels good to roll something long and packed with cannabis, and definitely makes for a more enjoyable smoking experience, it’s also extremely wasteful.

In fact, smoking big joints is probably one of the most wasteful ways to consume cannabis. The alternative is to roll extremely small and thin joints.

You may find that you get just as high since a lot of the cannabis that you pack into bigger joints turns into ash at the end of your joint and isn’t consumed anyways. And if your pinner doesn’t get you sufficiently high, just smoke another one!

If you prefer joints to pipes or bongs, but don’t want to smoke a whole joint to yourself, try using the long filter technique. This is a method of rolling a pinner (see above) where about half of the joint paper is occupied by the filter, and the other half with cannabis.

It’s kind of like a one-hitter, except instead of smoking it out of a pipe-like contraption, it’s crafted out of rolling papers.

Simply roll a filter that’s about an inch or inch-and-a-half long, so that it takes up roughly half of the length of your rolling paper (if you’re using standard-sized papers). Then, fill the rest of the paper with cannabis and roll it like normal.

You’ll end up with a joint where you’ll only be able to smoke a few quick hits. But in our experience, you don’t always need more than that—especially if it’s your first time smoking that day.

While it can be fun to wake-and-bake, it can lead to more frequent cannabis use throughout the day. Have you ever noticed that you get significantly higher the first time you smoke in a day? Your tolerance increases each new time you smoke in a day, which means you will need to smoke larger and larger quantities each time.

If you’re looking to conserve cannabis, as obvious as this sounds, sometimes the most effective method is to reduce how frequently you smoke. Try to use cannabis as a reward at the end of your day, the same way that someone might have a beer with dinner after work. You’ll find yourself saving a considerable amount of bud.

Sometimes, the best way to conserve weed is to buy bargain or budget weed.

Pay attention to the lab potency-testing numbers. Budget bud often has just as much THC as the top-shelf stuff. Pay more attention to cannabinoids than cosmetics. Often, the only difference is that bargain weed isn’t quite as pretty.

But who cares if the product has a rougher trim or has popcorn buds if it still gets you just as high. Don’t fall victim to pretty packaging.

Beyond stretching your stash out, how do you make a weed high last longer than it typically does?

Most highs last around 1-3 hours, on average, after smoking or vaping weed.

Here are some tips on how to make your weed high last longer:

Strain Choice

Some strains are known for having longer, more drawn-out effects. Wedding Cake and Gelato, for instance, are two potent indica-leaning strains that can leave you feeling “high” for an extended period of time.

Consumption Method

There are tons of ways to consume cannabis, and some consumption methods will have you feeling higher for longer compared to others. Smoking cannabis generally has effects wearing off sooner than consuming an edible, which is due to the way the body processes edibles compared to smoke.

If you want a long-lasting high, it might be best to pop an edible rather than smoke a j or take a vape hit.

Eating Mangoes

You might be surprised to know that eating mangoes can help your high last longer. This is because mangoes have terpene myrcene in them, also found in cannabis, which acts synergistically to enhance your high.

With our tips and tricks, you can save on weed in no time.

Rationing your stash might not always feel great, especially if you miss the days when you didn’t have to think twice about conserving every bit.

But with a little planning and some clever techniques, you can maximize your enjoyment without running low.
