First, gather your supplies. You'll need a miniature pumpkin (about 50 cents at a grocery store), some weed and an electric drill with a variety of bits. If you don't have a drill, you can still make your pipe using a pocketknife and a thick skewer or medium-sized Phillips-head screwdriver. Using the thick bit on your drill or your pocketknife, carve a bowl into the top side of your pumpkin. Angle it downward at about 45 degrees, so the bud doesn't fall out. Then, using a small drill bit or your screwdriver or skewer, drill a thin hole into the center of your bowl at about a 45-degree angle. It should reach approximately into the middle of your pumpkin. Drill another hole into the side of your pumpkin, just deep enough that the two intersect. To make the mouthpiece, drill one more hole into the pumpkin opposite the first one. Like the other two, angle it downward at 45 degrees so all three holes intersect in the middle of the gourd. For extra points, jazz up your pumpkin with a face. Voila, your smoke-o-lantern is ready to use!In the mood for something a little more ambitious? If you have the time for a quick trip to the hardware store, you can turn a full-sized pumpkin into a bong instead.
