Bongs Confirmed Counter-productive by NORML

[Rastaman292]

The healthiest way to consume cannabis is by vaping it or eating it. I believe a bong is healthier then a joint/blunt/pipe and shall continue to do so. Good day and have a high one.

ah yes, be wary of the shitstem, for they will tell you many things. Seek deep inside and look for the truth, and you will see that the truth is dangerous. I can see you have steped back and re-looked the shituation, respect seen

Pardon the obvious......If your *THAT* health concious, then why are you smoking *ANYTHING*???

Eh i dont know, but when I use my bong (14 inch molino glass on glass straight shooter) i use less weed to get more high. If i take a bowls worth of mid grade and smoke it through a bowl, i wont get nearly as high as i would with a bowls worth of mid grade through the bong.

man when im hungry for a good hit, nothing will break me off like a tasty b-rip. i dont know what id do without them.

as far as the health aspects i think its bs. and i also dont think that it filters out the thc. thc isnt water soluble.

donny:bonghit:

I don't think NORML's intent was to outlaw the bong or get people to stop using them. The intent was to see what the healthiest mode of smoking is. They uncovered some surprising information and are now just trying to make people aware.

Fair enough. :hippy:

"The reason is that waterpipes filter out proportionately more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired high"

Bullshit point #1. I get higher off of two big bong ripper than 8 pipe hits of the same weed. I can use less weed to get high.

"because water tends to absorb THC more readily than other, noxious tars."

Bullshit Point #2. Anyone should put some ground up weed in their gum and tell me if they get high or just eat it by themselves. It is NOT water soluable, and if it was, we could boil it in water and drink the tea. Heat will release some, but most wont be, especially at 212 degrees farenheit. It doesnt work like that.

Only 1 or 2 out of the many sources were from medical journals, the rest being subjective BS written by authors to sell a book.

Nowhere did they say how much weed was placed in the vape or the joint or whatever.


Dont worry folks, the proof is in what you all already know, that bongs are the most efficient way to get the highest possible given the same amount of weed(and many cases even less)

The study of medical effects on that link says that people whom have been smoking for less than 15 years have respiratory problems and no physical injuries(hitting yourself on the head cause your dumb etc lol), and those smoking more than 15 years have physical injuries and no respiratory problems makes it moot that bongs give you more tar over the long run right? If the more you smoke it, the less respiratory infections you have over time, doesnt that make the entire article BS?


I would not pay attention to anything that article says. Who knows, maybe zig zag or phillies made a "contribution" to NORML and then said "Hey we have some new evidence here, just pass it along to everyone and keep these millions"


Always question the FUCK out of everything.

Remember that the time you take for each one is different. As faster you smoke, greater the effect.

As i already said in another post, the THC is not absorved by the water by dissolution, but by condensation. The water drops the temperature of the smoke, so the vaporized THC condensates.

And, remember that people tends to disregard everything that goes against their prejudices.

thnx for the reply Coelho. are you a scientists or just very smart lol?

i thought we had arrived at a final conclusion with Beef's last post, but maybe not.

this is getting quite interesting.

peace
