Spots (also known as spotting , "" knobers "," hit blades "," knives "," dots "," hot knives ", " kitchen trackers "" blades ", or" bladers ") refers to the method of smoking marijuana. In this method, small pieces of marijuana are rolled (or just torn from larger buds) to form "dots". Generally, the tip of the two blades is heated, the point is compressed between two blades, and the next smoke is inhaled through the nose or mouth. Another increasingly popular way is the emphasis of a special glass heated with a propane or butane torch. To facilitate this process, "spottle" (also referred to as "bowser", "hooter" or "toker") is often, but not always, used to channel smoke and maximize the amount of inhalation. Spottle is generally made of a cone or cone-shaped container, such as the top (or neck) of a plastic bottle or glass or a gallon of milk/water.

Use in different countries
Although practiced worldwide, the method of smoking marijuana spots is most common in New Zealand. The possession of knives that had previously been used for spotting (easily distinguished by their blackened and discolored appearance) was considered "possessed" and thus illegal under New Zealand law. If proven, the defendant faces the possibility of a maximum imprisonment of 1 year and/or a $ 500 fine. In 2008, six New Zealand soldiers were "shamelessly sent home" from their post in Afghanistan after it was discovered they found marijuana. In the UK, this smoking method is relatively rare, and seems to be increasingly rare. A 1998 survey of ordinary marijuana users in the UK using the "hot knife" technique was only 1.3%, down from 5.2% in 1984.

Health issues
Users find marijuana vulnerable to greater health risks than other smoking marijuana methods. Knowing marijuana oil or resin is considered very harmful to the lungs, because the smoke comes out of the oil at very high temperatures. One possible way to minimize the risk of marijuana spots is to use a cooler blade, which causes the evaporated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) rather than all plant matter to be burned. Some users also fill the bottom half of the spottle with ice (which remains in place with the frozen to the edge of the spottle), but more commonly is just freeze the bottle, leading to the chilly smoke that is less rough lung.
Care should be taken not to touch the side of the plastic spottle with a hot knife when inhaling spots, because the burned plastic releases many toxic chemicals, including (in the case of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic) dioxin, a carcinogen. For this reason, many smokers prefer to use glass bottles.
The 1998 joint submission by the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences on the use of recreational and medical cannabis expressed concern about the use and deployment of the "hot knife" technique. Submission speculates that the increased use of smoking methods that allow massive inhalation (and therefore higher cannabinoids intake) may lead to an increased incidence of short-term marijuana-related mental disorders.
