Best way to smoke: Snow Bong!

[DRybes]

I love to see the misinformation(sometimes corrected).
Water/Ice does filter out THC, And alot of it actually. Read this:
MAPS/CaNORML vaporizer and waterpipe studies
Proving unequivocally that water does filter out THC(and in the worst way)

Hmm.

Their studies showed that a joint of low quality had 13 parts tar to 1 part THC. They then went on to say that their best bong showed 30% more tar than the joint ratio. a few mathematical operations show us that, assuming the bong filtered out none of the tar (which is consistent with their findings), close to 23% of the THC was lost in the water. This percentage increases as the smoke:water interaction increases, and it can be assumed that a percolator or similar would perform the worst, just as their device with a spinning paddle did.

Why have I never heard this before? You'd think it would be big news that using a bong means you lose a quarter of your THC. But it is also worth noting that I didn't see any temperatures mentioned for the water. I know for a lot of people the whole point of a bong is to cool the smoke, and the lower temperature water is at, the less of anything it will dissolve, relative to warmer water. I wouldn't be surprised if hot water in a bong had a net removal effect of 40% or more. If pure ice or something similar were used in a bong, almost no THC would be lost (granted, the smoke wouldn't be bubbling through anything either... just cooling by proximity to the ice). I have to imagine snow removes an amount somewhere between pure ice and water; even though it is very cold it still has a porous nature, and that's plenty of opportunity for particles to get trapped.

Also I'm thinking that my above alcohol theory should be discounted. The other cannibinoids are not psychoactive; I can see their levels still having an effect on the feeling of the high, but I can't imagine it being very significant.

It does go on to suggest that perhaps, the more contact with any surface, the less THC. I'll assume that applies to ice as well. Probably to a much lessor degree than bubbling water.
But this study has been kept under raps pretty well. I hope to change that for the good of the communities health.

I can actually see that being true though. I get much, much higher taking a hit from a waterfall bong than a normal bong.

no snow around here not even 60 degrees right now

[Zcomp]

Check your freezer. LOL.

only bad thing that i can see, is that snow is pretty dirty. but who didnt eat snow when they were little? i think that if it was truely that bad, we all would have died eating it! gonna have to try it when we get some more snow (Friday!)

NEVER DO THIS, IF YOU DO YOU WILL GET HIGH

[otottoto]

And the most unnecessary post of my birthday (today) goes to...... Turny! Come up here and give us a speech!

[papadelicious]

ROFL Turny. Do you mean to imply that there are ways of smoking cannabis and NOT getting high? Do tell.
