What happens to the resin when smoking a joint?

[Twisty1]

Hey, well I was making a simple bong today with a plastic bottle and a joint.. you all know put the joint at the bottom of the bottle and cream it up.

Anyway after I finished the joint I see a fairly large amount of resin on the side of the clear plastic bottle, and it made me think... if I was smoking a joint all of that would have gone into my lungs... Now isn't that just as bad or even worse than tar from a normal ciggerete?

Just a thought, perhaps its harmless but Im sure it's not good for you.

resin? resin?! the resin is what gives it that extra kick!

resin is tar in a way
but nowhere near as bad as cigarette tar

I used to have a table of comparison between smoking a joint with a filter,without a filter, hitting a bong, hitting a pipe and smoking a cigarette...hell if i can find it though..

Basically, with filtered joints a majority of the resin is caught in the filter, non filtered joints.. in the paper and on your lips. water pipe is obvious, the bowl takes most of the resin... unfiltered joints give you the most resin/tar filtered joints aren't as bad as the "filter" does catch most of it.. and water pipes make your smoke a lot less hazardous to your health .

The resin is tar in a way, but as haze said, its alot less bad for you, and if you exhale imediatly you can almost get it all out. Some people think holding your breath gets you higher, but it dont, all it does is let that tar soak into your lungs,.

I smoke out of a 13" steamroller and the tube is pretty wide. It will catch a lot of the resin.

Plus, when people have crappy weed, they'll hold in it in longer. The crappier weed has more crap to seep in through your lungs.

so wait a second. holding in the smoke doesnt make you any higher???

...

[DemoCommando]

for like 2-3 seconds, then let it out.
I find that I get same high from ghosting or holding it in for 2-3 seconds from teh same amount 1 gram of chronic. Yeah, I was bored and had like 7 grams of chronic so. I smoked it all in about 15 minutes so yeah.

The smoke resin's up the weed in the joint and you eventually smoke it all(hence why joints have the highest thc transfer rate). I always save the last bit of weed in a j or blunt and add it to a bag so when i have enough resined weed i can roll a resined joint

shit will knock you on your ass with a quickness!

[NightProwler]

dude when you smoke blunts... SOO much resin gets on your lips. theyre black and sticky. and when i smoke a joint, i like to smoke the resinated paper in a bowl with the rest of the roach.

Cannabis resin doesn't contain radioactive elements such as polonium and lead 210, tobacco does and that is where the cancer comes from. This is why smoking 'Lights' or low tar cigarettes is no better for you, 'tar' isn't as bad for your lungs as fucking radiation.
