Spots (cannabis)
Spots (also known as spotting, knife hits, knife tokes, dots, hot knives, blades, or bladers) is a method of consuming cannabis or hashish.
Method[edit | edit source]
In the spots method, two knifes are heated, typically by placing them on a stove or other heat source. A small amount of cannabis or hashish is then placed on one of the knives, and the other knife is used to press the substance into a thin layer. The resulting smoke is inhaled, typically through a tube or straw.
History[edit | edit source]
The spots method of consuming cannabis has been used for many years, particularly in areas where cannabis is illegal and users must be discreet. It is believed to have originated in New Zealand, where it is still commonly used today.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of consuming cannabis through spots are similar to those of other methods of consumption. These can include feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception. However, because the cannabis is heated to a high temperature, the effects can be more intense and come on more quickly than with other methods.
Health Risks[edit | edit source]
There are several health risks associated with the spots method of consuming cannabis. These include the risk of burns from the hot knives, and the risk of inhaling harmful substances produced when the cannabis is heated to high temperatures. In addition, because the effects of spots can be intense and come on quickly, there is a risk of overconsumption.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of spots varies by country and region. In some places, it is illegal to possess or use cannabis in any form, including spots. In others, it is legal for medical or recreational use.
