Aluminum foil pipes are commonly used for smoking marijuana or in emergency situations when another pipe is not available or affordable. However, these must be used with caution. Foil pipes are safe for only one or two uses. Over time, they can degrade and become hazardous to your health (though if the crater is small enough for vaping instead of smoking, high burning temperatures are avoided and relative safety achieved). If only using temporarily, however, they're a great item to have when you're in a pinch. If you want to learn how to make your own, just get started with Step 1 below.

To make a bowl out of aluminum foil, start with a square piece of foil that’s about 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm). Fold it in half, then fold it in half again. Use a pencil to roll the square into a tube that’s flared at one end. Measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) down from the flared end of the tube, and use a credit card to make a crease at that point. Bend up the flared end to form the bowl, then fill it with your smoking material. To use your bowl, use a lighter to light the smoking material as you inhale the smoke through the opposite end of the foil.
