Well anything were you inhale hot smoke is bad for the cilia lining you airways
the cilia are little hair like projections that move back n forth to push mucus and particles out of your lungs and trachea

then use a bong. It cools the smoke and filters it too
The water depletes many of the active cannabinoids.
lies, lies, lies. the government will come up with false claims about pot with absolutely nothing to back it up. they focus all their attention on drugs, things people do consensually. when they should be worried about the abusers/molestors running around. (seeing how you get more years in jail for something drug related than "other" reasons.)
yeah maybe while it filters out carcinogens
but it does seem to burn it faster
a friend of mine has found out he has pleurisy, he think its from smoking through a water bong to much. i dought it but it makes you wonder. i always use my water bong but not so much now
Ok I will add MY OPINION to the topic. Any burning substance that you inhale into your lungs IS BAD FOR YOU! I don't care if you smoke cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, stand near camp fires everyday, fight forest fires, or yes even smoke pot, any time you inhale a burning substance you WILL HARM your body. While the long term effects of marijuana isn't anywhere near the same as any of the rest, be assured it does harm your lungs. You must also remember if you smoke joints certain papers are extremely high in carcinogens and chemicals. As for the whole rat study, simply remember one very important thing, you are not injecting THC (I REALLY wish I could), the fact is you are smoking it and the effects on the body between the two are vastly different. Consuming marijuana will get you high with ABSOLUTELY ZERO waste, you just have to know what you are doing.
Now I want to address the vaporizor issue, I have been smoking pot for thirty five years. I have smoked a lot of really killer buds in that time and I have smoked out of wood pipes, metal pipes, bone pipes, ivory pipes, glass pipes, bazookas, bongs, one hitters, blunts, joints and various other smoking devices. I smoke A LOT OF POT! When I bought my vaporizor last year I had heard "you loose 40% of the THC" and the one I really like, " You will smoke more weed and you won't get as high" and my personal favorite "You are just going to waste more money on weed because you will smoke it faster." I will tell you straight out, they are ALL WRONG. The facts are: we smoke less pot because we get high faster, my smoking circle consist of very hardcore smokers, my wife and I smoked an ounce a week by ourselves, since we started using the vaporizor that same ounce last us about 11-12 days and that is sharing with our friends. We get higher (maybe a better description would be its a clearer high), we don't smell like pot when we leave, we save money, there is no second hand smoke (if one of my friends kids come walking into the room he isn't hit with the "CLOUD"), the pot taste better, and I don't cough shit up anymore. I'm not breathing in a burning substance, I'm not inhaling ANY carcinogens, I don't have to "clean my lungs" coughing up phlegm, it's not there. Don't get me wrong if you take to big of a hit on the vaporizor YOU WILL COUGH, just no garbage comes out.
Just so you know this is simply the opinion of everyone in my smoking circle and of myself. One last point there are A LOT of bad vaporizors on the market, and most of them do not work.
Absolutely. arcticspyder is correct.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I did wince in disbelief at that 40% loss comment. I've never tried one of the low-end electric vaporizers (avoided them after reading reviews) but can claim from experience that the even cheaper candle and glass bowl method is significantly more efficient than any method of smoking. All of the benefits arcticspyder mentioned are true. The different taste and high might not be preferred by some. However, the weed conservation, relative absence of smell and lung benefits can't be denied.
live it up.Chances are you will die from something other then smoking pot.
Life it self is bad for you.
You will die no matter what you do or don't do.
You have a better chance of dieing in a freak or some kind of accident then from smoking pot.

Yeah, no cases been proven about weed alone causing cancer. But it has problems like most any other recreational activity (even medical if you think along those lines). Sperm count...brain cells...teeth...there re a number of things your harming. It's all about the care for yourself though. Eat healthy, read, and work out every now and then and your great. For every distructive you do, create a productive.
