Proof that resin really gets you high

[sparknote_s]

I smoked an eighth of afghani kush over a period of a week, then I scraped the resin from the bowl and rolled it into a black little ball of tar, smoked it, and I've been staring at my skin for about 30 minutes trying to figure out how it works. Like how does your skin know how to grow back together correctly when you get cut, etc? I realize this is why we sometimes have scars but many times you won't. So I'm just thinking about how incredible that is...so anyway yeah, resin gets you high for sure.

Good shit bro!

[GreenDestiny]

I always smoke the resin tar, sometimes I can get super high, other times it's just a buzz that lasts for half an hour. The longer you let it build up, the better! It's like smoking many different strains all at once.

[Alexico]

I love when people are like the bowls cached, then I blow out the ash, then rip it and take a hit of the new resin on the bottom, always nice to get that extra hit. Taking a hit out of the shotgun works to for a resin hit. ;)

[3rdEyeVision]

resin is so yucky

[Giro2007]

Sometimes they can be awesome other times shit, just depends on the quality of what you've been smoking beforehand. For example i smoke the oils reguarly from my bong after the grass has run out and it can get me high as fuck but the oils left by the dreaded soapbar (which due to some right bastard of circumstances i've had to smoke recently) make me feel groggy for 10 minutes then goes away. But one thing that is always the same regardless is the fact it tastes like shit, a good thing to do is take some kief from the grinder and put this on the oil and smoke it.

[JaySin]

Any real stoner can tell you that resin will get you high.

As for the resin being nasty, I've never really smoked any resin that I thought was that nasty.

[FindingTim]

resin certainly can get you high. It isn't as clear a high as straight buds though. I used to smoke resin without thinking twice, but the more i thought about it the less i wanted to do it. It looks like pure tar!

...at the moment i do actually have an enormous resi-ball, but I am taking a thc break to revive the emotion in my life (when I smoke too frequently i am a dull, dull being)

[r0k]

Eh, my take on it is this: Resin does generally get you pretty high, but it tastes repugnant; I've had regs that got me higher than some dank, but they taste so horrible, they aren't even worth smoking.

[MadSativa]

resin is so yucky

yes .......yucky

[Its a Plant]

While resin does in fact get you high, it also a) tastes like shit, and b) contains a large amount of carcinogens...after all, it's tar people. Smoking it isn't something I'd advise.

I'm also doubting that you, Sparknote_s, are in fact over 18. You sure don't sound like the 27 year old you say you are. ;)

Tar isn't necessarily what causes the cancer bro. Since Cannabis doesn't cause cancer, and it's smoke contains a fucktonne of tar, it's safe to say that while smoking tar with hunks of pot and thc in it isn't the best way to get high, it won't kill you.


It's the polonium 210 found on tobacco leaf that causes cancer from smoking.

[krygods]

HeH, I don't think that polonium 210 is found on tobacco leaves as it is a radio active. Here is an excerpt from wikipedia

"A rare and highly radioactive metalloid,[1] polonium is chemically similar to tellurium and bismuth, and it occurs in uranium ores."

It occurs in uranium ores, not tobacco leaves. LoL not to mention that if you read the whole wiki on polonium you would also realize that polonium is highly expensive and would not be something the tobacco companies would be adding to their cigarettes...

[Nochowderforyou]

Yeah, it gets you high, but is no pleasure to smoke. I used to smoke it when I was younger as being young and broke sucked, but now I just toss it out when I wash out my pipes. It tastes bad, and leaves me feeling groggy and illish almost.

To each their own though. I don't think anyone denied that tar didn't get you high. It's just gross, that's all.

[GreenDestiny]

I love the taste of smoking resin. Compared to bud, sure it tastes like crap. I guess it's an acquired taste. Smoke enough super resinous bud long enough and you can even scrape your teeth for some resin lol yeah it sounds nasty but it's happened to me a couple of times.

The only thing that bothers me is: think about how much resin your pipe/bong/whatever collects (or fails to collect). then think about your lungs. It's a good thing cannabis has enough healing properties in it to cancel out the carcinogens from the burned plant material.
I love vaporizing, but smoking is such a hard oldskool habit to kick.

[jelloscooter]

It's not resin, it's residue. That residue is TAR.

Sure, you can get high, but it's unhealthy as all hell.

[Its a Plant]

I never said it would cause cancer, just that resin is full of carcinogens, which it is. It's TAR. Sure it probably won't kill you, but I highly doubt it's going to do you any good either, and thus wouldn't recommend smoking it, to anyone.

your both sorta correct, after hearing about the polonium thing once i looked it up, and i read that it isnt so much as the polonium 210 being on the leaf itself, but more so that the polonium was put on the leaf when the plants get fertilized the fertilizers more often than not on commercial fertilizers contain some sort of polonium 210 content. And polonium being one of the most deadly of the radioactive metals is dangerous at low levels.

As for smoking the resin, i do, i used to just whenever i ran out i would scrap whenever i wanted to smoke next and considered it an actual smoke no matter how the high. But after buying o's lately i have ha no reason to scrape the resin out seeing as any break i take will be tolerance driven, usually after smoking the o, and dont have a need to smoke any, and i will usually go off by buying another after smoking the o when i get paid again. And i probably should seeing as i have smoked quite a bit out of one of my bowls and it is probably getting thick

[jelloscooter]

You guys are also a little too quick to think that you can never get cancer from smoking marijuana. Sure, it wouldn't be nearly as common as cigarette smoking, but I doubt any of you are epidemiologists....

[HerbalConfusion]

Noone has ever debated whether resin gets you high. It does it just takes a very desperate person to smoke it. I have smoked it I will never smoke it again. Just dont smoke resin it really is bad for you. That is all the shit you DONT want. Resin smoke = carcinogenic overload.:hippy:

[GreenDestiny]

..... Just dont smoke resin it really is bad for you. That is all the shit you DONT want. Resin smoke = carcinogenic overload.:hippy:

Yeah, still bad. But what about vaporizing the resin??? Or (ewww) eating it?

[lazysummerdays]

Well, by saying resin is full of carcinogens, you are saying it is full of cancer-causing chemicals. Which is true. It can cause cancer, but if I am correct, the THC actually protects the lungs from those carcinogens.

edit: sorry, didn't realize how dead this thread was. could've sworn i say the last post as being from yesterday. lol whatever:D

[fluid69]

I like smoking resin. I even like scraping my pipe. It's kinda fun to get down and dirty, or maybe its the thrill of the chase! lol And as far as tobacco goes, I like smoking it too. I think it's a really good vibe. But I do roll my own. There has to be microscopic particles come off those filters.

but resin gets an A+ in my book, its always there in a time of need.

[TheMagnanimous]

I just diligently cleaned my small pipe and got a huge sticky ball of resin. Definitely gets you high.

[wobzin]

haha it will get u blazed for sure, but tastes like arse.

i just smoke the resin when times are hard.

[408calidank408]

out of curiosity, what would you say the best way to scrape res is? I found an old piece in my closet and there is so much res in that shit its rediculous haha i been waiting for a desperate day to scrape that shit and smoke haha.


MEDICATE SAFELY BROS:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmok e:

[Aly_G]

lol I'm not sure what way is the best.. I don't think I had enough in the bowl to scrape it so I just tried to burn it off.. and in the process the whole inside of my pipe was lightned one or two hits after the lighter was off haha probably got like 6-7 small hits out of it and I gotta tell you I'm not in space but i'm def flying haha nice to find this site again I was lost for a while...

Peacee

[jmill32]

double post, sorry.

[jmill32]

I would say the best way is to boil the pipe if possible, or submerge it in hot water to get the resin more goo-like. Then use a unbent paper clip to pull out as much as possible.

I personally think resin is terrible for you and shouldn't be smoked, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Smoking resin gives me a killer head ache...it does get you blazed off your ass though.

[Sir Bliss]

I've been smoking nothing but dank buds for the last few months. Pretty much everyday.

I just ran out. It's funny that I saw this thread, I haven't scraped res in a looong time. But what the hell, why not. I have a day off, it's beautiful outside, and I feel like getting blazed.

I'm all scraped and ready to go. Just got to decide on the bubbler or bong. (Water pipes make the taste and harshness just the slightest bit more tolerable). Wish me luck! :stoned: I'll be back with my thoughts after smoking resin for the first time in probably a year.

[m577a2]

I wouldn't recommend boiling unless you don't want to save the resin, but it will clean a peice! I've heard of microwaving but never tried, it would probably reek to high heaven. I use the tip of my pocket knife blade for scraping the bowl because the edge has the same curve as the interior of the bowl and I have broken the bottom of the bowl using paper clips. Paper clips are used for the interior of the pipe and you just push the resin towards one of the openings (carb, or stem hole). If the resin is too thick or too solidified you can use a lighter to heat it lightly from the outside until it becomes a little more workable. I save up my vaporized herb and mix it heavily with the resin to both kill the taste of the resin and to maximize the vaporized herb. Then use a waterpipe or bubbler because it makes a lot of smoke and still tastes of feet and ass. This is of course a last resort stash and is rarely used.

[Purple Banana]

Tar, like IAP stated, contains carcinogens. It has been strongly suggested that THC cancels out carcinogenic effects by killing precancerous cells.

The main thing people forget is that a heavy smoker of resin has a much higher risk of developing chronic bronchitis, decreased lung capacity, and the worst of them all, emphysema. Emphysema is when your alveoli, the small popcorn things in your lung responsible for gas exchange lose their elasticity because the inhalation of smoke with more particles (resin) damages the elastin and collagen of the alveoli. This leads to a constant and irreversible feeling of not getting enough oxygen; patients I've seen with advanced emphysema can't even describe how terrible their quality of life is. Of course, I am kind of going down a slippery slope, but it can happen.

So please, try to limit smoking resin. It may get you stoned, but it's certainly not worth complications which can develop later on in life. Save up your kief instead!

[Sir Bliss]

Yeah, I got pretty high. Not as high as good ol' regular cannabis, though.

I was high for a good 3 hours until my girlfriend completely killed my buzz with her bitching.

Polonium 210 comes up from the ground, it's a naturally occurring radioactive substance which collects on the tiny hairs of tobacco leaves.

I can pull up the article if I can find it.

[maxsuperdanks]

Washington post and Harvard University seem to be on our side about smoking weed not causing cancer.

[Shirtntie]

I smoked a shit ton of resin before and I have gotten retarded high. Other times when I have smoked resin I thought about how I was told when you smoke resin, it cuts off oxygen to the brain so your probably not even getting high. Long story short if your smoking resin your trying to get high so make sure you clear your mind before you smoke it or else you aren't going to feel as good as you should, or as good as smoking real bud :)

[RJMortimer]

OK let me make this clear to all stoners out there resin is not and never will be TAR.
Resin is the OIL that comes from the smoke.It looks black but it is dark brown.
The more times it gets heated the darker it will be.When using a lighter such as a bic it will also get darker.When a bic is burning(or most any flame for that matter)it gives off a black smoke.when inhaled through a cigarette,bowl and bong it collects in the lungs(also what it was inhaled through)Thats why vaporizer smoke resin looks almost like sap from a pine tree.(Becuse of the low heat and the absence of the flame)The smoke is in fact exactly the same as the weed it came from if its vaperised resin.Resin is just as harmful as smokeing green weed and by harmful i mean harmless.

[Islandborn]

Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess......I'd still rather go sober for a week than smoke resin. Nasty stuff that I clean outta my Luke Wilson every 2 or 3 smoke sessions. It also makes the good buds taste like shit when you dont clean your pipe's.

Also.....for any newbies.....using hot water or vinegar and sea salt to clean your pipes works JUST as good as formula 420 or any other over priced cleaning solution you can find in a head shop. Save your money.

[Dippers]

Resin does get you high but I'd always prefer bud over black death.

[gypski]

Truth being, anyone who has smoke marijuana for any period of time, has scrapped a bowl or collected the ghetto hash one way or another. :thumbsup:

[VuhnillaGorilla]

Yeah, I got pretty high. Not as high as good ol' regular cannabis, though.

I was high for a good 3 hours until my girlfriend completely killed my buzz with her bitching.

lmfao i couldnt help myself thats great dood.


yea res gets you high everyone knows that, but also, ive only done it when ive been bone dry out of trees and wanted to scrape something together. another niffty little trick alot of seasoned stoners know of that some may not know of is when using a bowl,(go ahead and retireve your usual piece, ill wait..........) ok now try pulling a hit thru the carb hole,, be gentle its a big flame and usually a small hole, slowly and consistently inhale your hit. the flame takes a different than usual path thru the inside of your piece and you light a whole new and different batch of resin! and usually results in a pretty large hit. try it out if ya dont know about it already

I like smoking resin it may not taste great but its not too bad. Gets me really stoned :s5:

resin gets you higher than just about anything and esp resin from really good bud.

keep scrapin and tokin.

[marijuanavillebilly]

I like smoking resin. Resin gets an A+ in my book, its always there in a time of need. :jointsmile:

[t3chyo]

IF you are going to smoke resin, I highly recommend you make a homemade vaporizer out of a lightbulb.

You already have burned away THC when you first lit of a bowl with actual weed in it to get the resin. You don't want to burn up the resin even more which already has small amount of THC in it.

Google how to make a lightbulb vaporizer. You will get the most out of your resin and at the same time it wont taste as nasty as is does burning it. :hippy:

[Lynhal]

When I have an abundance of smoke, I will regularly clean my pipe/one hitter to keep it fresh for the next set of hits special flavors. When that abundance starts to slowly tick tock away ... I stop cleaning and smoke more j-birds for the flavor aspect I like so much. I take a mental note in my mind that I might need my "reserves" for an upcoming raining day in budville.

:twocents: Any serious indulger has hacked on resin a time or twenty ... but whether they care to admit it or not that is a whole other ballgame entirely. :stoned:

[FLORIDA MON]

Scraping my bowls for resin is a "labor of luv" and I have a special tool kit that I use for doing just that.

Smoking resin gets me higher than almost anything else I have toked.:stoned:

[t3chyo]

Smoking resin gets me higher than almost anything else I have toked.:stoned:

That technically cannot be true. Sorry not trying to start a debate here but really think about it...

[FLORIDA MON]

That technically cannot be true. Sorry not trying to start a debate here but really think about it...

This is MY personal opinion based on MY personal experiences.

However, I am open to suggestions.:rasta:

[Lynhal]

This is MY personal opinion based on MY personal experiences.

I agree with you. If I have smoked say 4 to 5 different strains out of that device, then I have the residuals of all those in the resins. I have gotten very stoned off of resin in the past as you have too! ;)

[gypski]

I keep roaches as the second line of defense. And, hopefully, I won't have need for the little resin balls I push through my pipe when I clean it any longer. I use a stone pipe so the only place I get worthy smokable seconds is from the bowl that I can scrape. :D And, I can wipe the bowl with a paper towel dipped in alcohol, and run a pipe cleaner through for the stem part if I want it that clean!!! :jointsmile: Nonetheless, resin on, resin on!!! :lol5:

[rn42z0mbie]

:smokin:Being young, dumb, and broke i personally smoke the resin. it doesnt have a great taste but most things in this world dont. and also im a light weight when it comes to drinking so could anyone tell me: are you supposed to drink first or smoke first?

[Dankington Bear]

Yeah, still bad. But what about vaporizing the resin??? Or (ewww) eating it?

You can eat a resin ball. especially if you chug a beer to get it down. You'll be pretty high.

Unfortunately all I have left is resin. I've been trying to score buds here in Northern VA, but it's harder than finding rocks. So, resin it is, but it's almost gone!

[Dankington Bear]

Also, I think you might be able to vap resin that's wet. But that dry stuff from your bowl, etc. won't vap well at all. In fact. Hash doesn't vap well either. IMHO
