Concerning the aspect of growing, sure general knowledge is quite precise since growing is something that can be experimented with on a personal level and the information collected can be quite factual. When it comes to the effects on the human body the fact is we don't have much. I'm not saying we don't have much on the effects of it on your lungs, but the effects of it in general concerning most aspects. Perhaps I didn't pick the best thread to criticize the mentality of people on this website towards studies related to the effects of cannabis on your system, since others contain info which is much more frivolous.

You should not base yourself on the fact that I am a new member here to judge how I should criticize information, granted a new member will more likely not know what he's talking about but this is not necessarily the case.

On an other note, simply to continue the debat started here, I understand the gas exchange happens quickly, but saying holding a hit allows more time for your alveoli to have contact with the "good stuff" or resin vapor I suppose and less with the "bad stuff" or tars and carcinogens I suppose seems unlogical. The resin vapor is not only on the "exterior" of your hit, the smoke that first penetrates the lungs is the smoke you will have the quickest gas exchange with, but by holding a hit the resin vapor will further continue to stick to the cells in your lungs no? I don't think holding a hit will make you much higher but it should slightly increase the resin which sticks to your lungs which seems logical to me. I understand that the logical thing is not always what happens when you don't understand the mechanism assiciated with the gas exchange in your lungs (which is my case) and I don't recommend holding a hit but it seems it would logically get your at least a little higher.

But sadly, it doesn't. :rastasmoke:
