The northlondonhippy

Archive for May 31st, 2006

Here’s a quick blast from me before I head off for yet another fun-filled night at work.

The Inde­pen­dent news­pa­per here in the UK pub­lished an inter­est­ing arti­cle about the cur­rent pop­u­lar­ity in legal highs. Well duh!

As an early adopter and exper­i­menter with the sub­stances they men­tion, fol­low­ing the ban on shrooms last sum­mer, I’ve been on the cut­ting edge of this stuff for ages!

But do they come to ask me for a com­ment on the world of legal highs?

Do they fuck!

I guess I’m just too expen­sive for them! This hippy don’t come cheap!

It doesn’t mat­ter, I’m still happy to bring you a link to their arti­cle. The main point that mat­tered to me is that the gov­ern­ment has said they see no rea­son to review the sta­tus of any sub­stance cur­rently avail­able. That’s cool.

They also men­tion my friends at EDIT, who really are at the cut­ting edge of the mar­ket. They were big shroom-sellers up until the ban and they were quick to realise that a mar­ket con­tin­ued for legal, recre­ational sub­stances and have brought many great prod­ucts to the UK market.

After this lit­tle run of nights, I’ve got some well-deserved time off. Besides wrap­ping up work on one of my non-hippy related projects, I’m going to be check­ing out some more new prod­ucts to review for you. I’m really look­ing for­ward to get­ting off my face all in the inter­ests of improv­ing your life!

What other north Lon­don based-hippy has done that for you lately?

Since I started writ­ing about my love of RooR glass­ware, I’ve noticed a lot of peo­ple have been vis­it­ing look­ing for more infor­ma­tion about their pipes and bongs.

As always, I’m only too happy to help!

I’m not spy­ing on you, but I do like to see what search terms peo­ple use that bring them to me. Ok, I’m nosy, but if it were your blog, you’d be nosy too!

All RooR glass­ware is hand made to a very high stan­dard, from the small­est mini-steamroller to the top of the range Lit­tle Sista White Lines bong and every model in-between. The bongs are espe­cially sturdy, with a choice of wall thick­nesses right up to 7.0mm.

RooR stuff is also well designed and aes­thet­i­cally pleas­ing; it all looks very good. It’s all also easy to clean, using just a ket­tle full of boil­ing water and a lit­tle bit of RooR’s spe­cial bong cleaner.

By far, the most impor­tant thing about RooR pipes and bongs is this: how it smokes!

Being an old hippy, I’ve owned more pipes and bongs than you’ve prob­a­bly had hot din­ners. Well, I’ve owned dozens over the years, how many times have you eaten cooked food?

Ok, you won that round!

Glass pipes are taste neu­tral, so you get the full flavour of what­ever smok­ing herb you’re enjoy­ing. Like weed.

RooR pipes are designed to max­imise the flavour and the potency, they hit like a dream. I’ve never smoked from bet­ter pipes and that goes for all three mod­els that I per­son­ally own, the mini-steamroller, the Pocket Friend and my Lit­tle Sista Ice Mas­ter 3.0 bong. They rock!

What also makes RooR so good is the bowl sys­tem; the Pocket Friend and all of the bongs use inter­change­able bowls, which are also designed to enhance the expe­ri­ence. Com­bined with a RooR glass gauze, you have the per­fect cham­ber for ignit­ing your cho­sen herb. Again, weed.

I’ve cus­tomised my Lit­tle Sista with a RooR dif­fuser to replace the stan­dard down­pipe and that fur­ther improves the smooth­ness of the smoke. My next pur­chase will be the RooR Ash Catcher, which should com­plete my lit­tle collection.

I know that RooR is expen­sive, but then so is any­thing of real qual­ity that you might pur­chase and expect to per­form well and last for a very long time. You get what you pay for in this world and I can tell you from my expe­ri­ence, RooR is up there with Sony and Apple Com­put­ers as far as brands I trust that are very cool.

As a mat­ter of fact, since I’ve become one of the world’s biggest cheer­lead­ers for RooR, I’m think­ing about approach­ing them to do a spe­cial edi­tion northlon­don­hippy bong and then ask­ing my friends at EDIT if they would like to be the exclu­sive dis­trib­u­tors for it.

I would cus­tom design it myself, nat­u­rally and order the very first one as well. Then they could take pho­tos of it and list it on their web­sites to sell. And then you could buy one! It would be just like get­ting high with me every night only with less of me smok­ing all of your weed!

How fuck­ing cool would that be?
