Well I have a concern, I realize that marijuana doesnt cause any kind of cancer and the only thing that would be considered bad would be the smoke if it was smoked from a bong, regular rolling papers or a vaporizer or something but I have a concern...I have smoked marijuana out of blunts about 5 times in my life because I'm only 15 and it's very difficult to get them when you have extreme paranoia of asking people thinking they are gonna go in the store and use your money for them selves lol.. But really my whole point for this thread is, I was wondering does blunts pose any threat of cancer on those that use it? I wonder this because I guess tobacco cause cancer (I'm not for sure, thats just what I'm told) and blunts are made from whole-leaf tobacco...so how safe is it?

Hey orange
They do have warnings on them the same as cigs, I think they can cause cancer. I used to smoke blunts but then I quit tobacco so I dont mess with them anymore, not because they cause cancer just cause I dont smoke tobacco :pimp:
The last blunt I had was made from a palm tree leaf not tobacco

Most the people I know smoke blunts. I agree that a joint doesn't hit hard enough. A blunt hits hard, but waste a hellof a lot of weed. Just get a good pipe or a bong. I've got a couple pipes that outperform blunts. It don't take five grams to fill it up, either.
If you just left the tobacco in the cigar and smoked it, it might be healthier. The nicoteine in the cigar wrapper takes the ability away from your lungs to block the harmful ingredients in the smoke.
A joint is good to take with you to be social, but a pipe is for getting stoned. If somebody pulls out a blunt and lights it, I'm gonna hit it, but I don't use tobacco, so a blunt every now and then aint hurting nothing.
Yeah, the large tobacco leaf used instead of a paper DOES cause cancer like any other tobacco product.
You've only had 5, you'll have smoked mroe pasivly thoughout your life than that, so dont worry, just dont make a big habbit out of it and you'll stay healthy.
Hemp and flax paper and pure weed is the safest way, along with a bong

If you want a safer alternative check out these "Sweet Palm" blunts http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/Sweet_Palm_Wraps__8_Flavours.cfm?iProductID=2806&iProductCategoryID=634
They look small but you could probably get two and cut them to make a bigger one.

Ew,, thats all small and looks strange lol. I wonder how it burns and tastes. Ah well, I guess all I can say is that I just hope that nothing happens to me because Swishers are just too good man lol. They taste perfect, burn slow, and just adds on to teh high..man's best creation if you ask me lol.

I feel that blunts are a waste. It takes a lot of weed to roll a blunt. It's gone in 15 minutes. I can take the same weed and smoke it through a bong and stay fried all day long. I get bigger hits from a bong.
Smoke your blunts and be happy. Most people will not feel that is the best way. If you think a blunt is best, than it is best for you. I cannot argue about that.

Most of the time weed is gone in 15 mins if your smokin with people..most of the time I only smoke half of my shit and put it up..I dont get fuckin sky high everytime I smoke...most of the time I get half way there, I dont feel the need to smoke all the weed just to get really high, I just get enough to relax my self and so it doesnt take a whole blunt to do that :p.

Never thought of it that way. I'd pull on that blunt with ya'. I just prefer bowls or paper.

Well I quoted this from a different site, what do you guys think about this?
"they say THC blocks cancer causing agents by killing cells before they become cancerous....i wouldn't be worried about a blunt wrap no more than i would be worried about smelling car exhaust"
it sounds convincing but then again, when ever you want something to be positive any pro you can find over a con seems resonable xD.

bro you have nothing to worry about 5 blunts is nothing. Thats like saying if you smoke a pack of ciggarettes a year your gonna get cancer.
I am sorry guys, I still dont see how EZ Wider can cause cancer.. It seems like flippin thin ass paper!! Maybe I am missing this whole argument here... :pimp:

I only use a clean glass bong.
I have heard that the glue used in zig-zags and some blunt papers is the problem. The burnt glue and the processing chemicals used in making the paper.
Joints/blunts are waistful if you ask me.
