Solar puffing or Solar toking are some names given to the act of using a magnifying lens to heat cannabis for consumption. Many practitioners of this method believe that by using heat from sunlight, instead of heat from a lighter, that the cannabis is consumed in a more natural way, since the sunlight is the only heat source which also comes directly from nature. Utilization of this method also provides the practitioner the ability to consume a greater amount of THC within a given amount of cannabis because more THC is preserved for inhalation due to a lower heating temperature as opposed to that of combustion . This method is similar to that of vaporization . Solar puffing is also called solar toking and taking solar hits. ref http www.cannabisculture.com articles 1483.html ref See also Drug paraphernalia Hookah One hitter smoking Operation Pipe Dreams Thuoc lao Water pipe percolator References Reflist Category Drug culture Category Drug paraphernalia Category Cannabis smoking ... more details

History For as long as there have been railroads, locomotive changes have been very essential to the officials of the railroads, so that a locomotive could be exchanged for the rest of the trip to the next locomotive changing facility or the destination of the train. Without these facilities, locomotives will suffer from wear and tear or in the era of the steam locomotive , the locomotive will not only suffer from wear and tear, but also a lack, of fuel and water. Many of the original locations where steam was exchanged for another steam locomotive for the remainder of the trip, have been closed since diesel locomotive s replaced steam locomotives on the point of both freight and passenger trains. In some cases, an electric locomotive would be replaced by a steam or diesel locomotive for the remainder of the trip. Railroads like, the Pennsylvania Railroad , New York Central Railroad and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad had locations where the electric locomotive was exchanged for a steam or diesel locomotive. Notable Locations There are many locations where locomotives were exchanged for another locomotive. Some are still in use today, while others are gone.
