Spots (cannabis)
Spots (also known as "spotting", "knifers", "knife hits", "knife tokes", "dots", "hot knives", "kitchen tracking" "blades", or "bladers") refers to a method of smoking cannabis.〔"Handbook of Pharmacy Education", Harmen R.J., 2001, Pg 169〕 In this method, small pieces of cannabis are rolled (or simply torn from a larger bud) to form the "spot". Generally, the tips of two knife blades are heated, the spot is compressed between the two blades, and the subsequent smoke is inhaled through the nose or mouth. Another means that is gaining popularity is specially made glass presses heated with a propane or butane torch. In order to facilitate this process, a "spottle" (also referred to as a "bowser", "hooter" or "toker") is often, but not always, used to funnel the smoke and maximize the amount inhaled. A spottle is generally made from a funnel or cone-shaped container, such as the top (or neck) of a plastic or glass bottle or a gallon of milk/water.〔"Understanding street drugs: a handbook of substance misuse for parents, teachers and other professionals", Emmett D. & Nice G. 2006, Pg 41〕〔"James Bong's Ultimate SpyGuide to Marijuana", Arooka, Pg 186〕
==Use in different countries==
Although practiced over the world, the spots method of cannabis smoking is most common in New Zealand.〔(Put that in your pipe and smoke it: a travelers guide to smoking pot in New Zealand )〕 Possession of knives that have been previously used for spotting (easily distinguished by their blackened and discoloured appearance〔〔(Cannabis - what is it, what are its effects? - Everybody - Health Information for New Zealanders )〕) is considered "possession of paraphernalia" and is thus illegal under New Zealand law. If convicted, the accused faces a possible maximum 1-year prison sentence and/or a $500 fine.〔(Illicit Drugs FAQ - New Zealand Police )〕 In 2008, six New Zealand soldiers were "sent home in disgrace" from their posting in Afghanistan after it was discovered they were spotting hashish.〔('Drug culture' among NZ troops overseas )〕 In the United Kingdom, this method of smoking is relatively rare, and appears to be getting rarer. One 1998 survey of regular UK cannabis users put usage of the "hot knives" technique at only 1.3%, down from 5.2% in 1984.〔"Regular Users: Self reported drug consumption patterns and attitudes towards drugs among 1333 regular cannabis users", Atha Mathew J., 1998, Pg 49〕
