Bongs Confirmed Counter-productive by NORML

THC is NOT water-soluble ... if you have wine, for example, in your bong or water-pipe, it definitely will absorb THC, as THC is alcohol and oil soluble ... :smokin:

^^ But does it react with fluoride and other chemicals in tap water or other impurities found in bottled water? Plus, milking a bong allows THC to stick to the glass, acrylic, or whatever else you have.

thats not true, thc isnt soluble in water, your not losing any thc, and also i dont think theyre less healthy than other ways, theres definatley something that stays in the water instead of going into your lungs

Hey, people... instead spending LOTS of money buying vaporizers, why dont you try to make some hash oil?
Its healthier than vaping, it gets you FAR higher, is wastes almost nothing (as its vaporized, and not burnt)... and its easy to do...
After i started to smoke it, i realized how wasteful joints/pipes/whatever are... with the amount of hash oil made with weed worth of 1 joint, i would get some 10 highs... and i mean HIGHS... :stoned::stoned::stoned:
So, IMHO, its the best option... try it, and enjoy! :thumbsup:

You can make hash oil with only a joint-worth of weed? I thought you needed a lot more to produce anything worthwhile. There a link to instructions on how you make it?

I've always been skeptical of this study. The water, filters out carcinogens. Thc is NOT water soluble, whatever thc loss there is, it's a moot point anyway because of how little, if anything is lost at all. It's definately cleaner, and healthier then a normal pipe, which is harsh as hell, and a joint, which is paper.. and blunt. Screw that study, experiance is my knowledge.

Write a guide and ill try it. :thumbsup:

Here is the recipe!

http://boards.cannabis.com/recreatio...-hash-oil.html

The usual amount of weed i use is about 1/8... but it works with smaller amounts... the smallest i did was about 1g... remember to use a glass with the apropriate size... like... if you will use small amounts of weed, use a small glass... my own glass is some 3 inches tall... it was from a medicine...
Also, for small amounts of weed, use a wine cup instead a dish for evaporating it... as with small amounts of liquid, the hash oil forms a very thin layer that is difficult to scrape if it were on a large surface...
Any questions, just ask! But, please, post them in the link above, as its easier for other people have all the info about hash oil in the same thread...
And good luck! :thumbsup:

I understand your point that water-filtration "seems" healthier, but what would be NORML's motivation to lie? especially Canada NORML.... and this isn't the first time i have heard bongs are bad... i just did not believe it until i read such an in depth study as this one.... did you read the entire thing?

I'm quite surprised that so many people had not seen the study I posted. When I linked it in the cigarette filter thread, I was only doing so to cite my source. Glad to spread the knowledge though.
