Proof that resin really gets you high

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.

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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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