Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The presently disclosed embodiments are related, in general, to smoking apparatuses. More particularly, the presently disclosed embodiments are related to an integrated recreational drug smoking apparatus.

BACKGROUND

While recreational drug such as marijuana or cannabis is controversial, many people believe that the drug should be legal. These days the world is starting to accept that cannabis is not the all evil drug that plagues society hence legalization programs are happening around the world either for recreational use or medicinal purposes.
Many users smoke cannabis on a regular basis such as sports people, active traveler business people and a range of people from all walks of life and in order to smoke cannabis they need various components such as cannabis, pipes, papers, lighter, and a pipe cleaner. However these users may not miss cannabis but they may invariably miss at least one of pipe, papers, lighter or pipe cleaner.
Traditional smoking apparatuses use an ignition source, such as a lighter or a match, to burn the recreational drug. One problem with traditional smoking devices is that they can be cumbersome and difficult to light in windy environments. For example, it is very difficult to role and light the recreational drug on a chairlift or in a boat when the wind is blowing or in case of snowfall and if user's hand are very cold. Probably if the user such as snow skier, fisherman carrying the recreation drug in one pocket, lighter in another and pipe or papers in another making it an arduous affair.
Additionally, the smokers must use two hands, one hand to hold the smoking device, and the other hand to ignite the recreational drug. Thus, a smoker does not have a free hand when using the smoking device. Thus, there is a necessity for an integrated recreational drug smoking apparatus that houses the components required to smoke the recreational drug in order to overcome the aforementioned difficulties and drawbacks.
Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.
