OMFG! WTF is this in my hitter???

For all of you non-believers out there, smoking resin is in fact BAD for you!

Check this out:

Pipe residue | Cannabis Culture Magazine

Resin is the left over burnt plant material that didn't get ingested the first go around. This sticky substance then absorbs stray smoke that contains THC and other cannabinoids. It may have a concentrated THC content, but it also has a concentrated level of the nasty shit you don't want to inhale...

Educate yourselves and don't believe all of the talk that says that smoking cannabis pipe resin isn't any worse for you than smoking straight cannabis. If you really want some sweet resin, buy a grinder with a kief catcher and save it up for the dry times. There's your REAL resin.

Also, if you happen to be a grower who throws their shake away, DON'T!!! Buy a kief box (Large square with taught metal mesh for sifting) and scrape the trichomes off of your trimmed plant material!!! When you throw away your shake, you lose up to 30% of your plants overall trichomes!!!

Stay up,

Of course resin is bad for you (I've definitely had acute respiratory problems from it)...But it is OH SOO GOOD!

:stoned:

I can feel the tumor growing just looking at it

:dance:

me and my buddy use pinchies and we have to clean them everyday otherwise they get real wet and nasty inside

the best thing to use to clean them is maybe a six-inch piece of a weed-whip cord/blade plastic thing (the part that whips the weeds)

that looks nasty
:smokin:

I wouldn't go that far. When you smoke a pipe you are inhaling the very same compounds. It's sort of like smoking a roach joint. I don't know if it makes a difference that both the compounds and the THC is concentrated in pipe residue. It takes less of the concentrate to get high.

its concentrated evrything you just smoked, and marijuana does not cause lung cancer, but in fact may fight it.

The quality of smoke really does play a big role in this however! I feel that there must be some reason that there is always some leftover material, I'd like to let that be...

Anyone that says resin is bad for you, and they wouldn't smoke it had better have cigarette filters on their joints, or inline on their pipes, because if not you are being hypocritical.
No mater how you smoke it you are getting the compounds that make resin like tar, and we have learned by years of research, and statistics from the tobacco industry that filtered cigarettes reduce tar to a much more safe level, and is worth the loss of flavors, and strength. Even the tobacco companies agree, and they have no problem marketing filtered cigarettes.
So for those of you talking about how nasty, and dangerous smoking resin is, put a filter in it.

It would seem to be a desparate thing to do. We used to clean our pipes in everyclear and then a friend would always want to drink it. Only smoked that tar once when we were young and immortal. Nasty stuff.

One question ? If you put it in a vaporizer would that nasty tar burn away or are you getting it there too ?

Marijuana does not cause cancer and there are studies that show the THC does help fight cancer. However, all the carcinogens that you inhale when smoking (unless vapor) can cause cancer.

"The general consensus is that this material is not good for you to smoke. That's because of the foul taste and the compounds that may be carcinogenic or mutagenic created by the burn. They are collected and concentrated in the residue."

So its bad because it taste bad? lol Also as I said, "carcinogenic or mutagenic created by the burn. I personally dont have a problem smoking it, but I only do when I am desperate lol
