There are several ways to smoke marijuana. A marijuana cigarette can be made with rolling paper, where 10% to 20% of the THC is transferred to the body. Another way is to remove the tobacco from a cigar and roll it using the cigar wrapper, which is called a blunt. Using a pipe will transfer 40% to 50% of the THC into the body. A bong is similar to a pipe; the only difference is that there is a water bowl built into it (science.howstuffworks.com/marijuana6.html).
