Chillum

United States

A chillum, also referred to as a chilam or sulpa, is a straight conical smoking pipe traditionally constructed from clay or soft stone. It is characterized by its specific shape and is frequently used for smoking marijuana, particularly in the regions of Nepal and India.

The design of the chillum pipe features a stem that is often fitted with a small stone to serve as a stopper. While originating in South Asia, the style of the pipe spread to Africa and has been recognized in the Americas since the 1960s. Additionally, the chillum pipe holds significance in Rastafari rituals.
