Abstract: The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe is a mechanical structure. The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe claims the benefit of United States 35 USC 120 from non-provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 16/253,282 filed on Jan. 22, 2019. The prior disclosure comprises a partitioned bowl. A gas phase of a pharmacologically active media generated by the combustion of a smoking material passes through the partitioned bowl. The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe comprises an exterior screw thread and a burr grinder. The exterior screw thread removably attaches the burr grinder to the prism structure of the partitioned bowl. The burr grinder grinds the smoking material in preparation for the combustion of the smoking material within the partitioned bowl. The burr grinder deposits the ground smoking material directly into the prism structure of the partitioned bowl.

Abstract: The bowl for a water pipe having multiple partitioned compartments (hereinafter invention) is configured for use with a smoking material consumed through a hookah. The invention contains the smoking material during combustion. The combustion of the smoking material releases the pharmacologically active media in a gas phase. The invention is a partitioned structure. The invention is configured to store a plurality of doses of the smoking material. Each dose is stored in a partition. Each partition displays a scale that measures the dose of the smoking material contained in the partition. The invention comprises a partitioned bowl and a transport structure. The partitioned bowl is the partitioned structure that contains one or more doses of the smoking material. The transport structure forms a fluidic connection between the partitioned bowl and the hookah that transports the gas phase of the pharmacologically active media from the partitioned bowl to the hookah.
