Myth or fact?

[Beeblebrox.420]

Yeah, I often do a wake-and-bake with a big ol' 24 oz cup of coffee. If anything, I notice an slight intensifying of the experience. I don't like getting super-wired (which is why I can't stand meth, coke and most other stimulants), but a nice caffeine buzz is a great way to start the day.

Besides, without it, I'm a bear.

newports clear the throat

...if you heat up the filter with your lighter will this stop the fiber glass from causing harm?

This is another myth. There is no fiberglass in Newport filters, nor any other cigarette brand. As far as I can tell, there never has been. The fibers used in filters is a cellulose acetate material. There is some question about the safety of this material, however, as disussed in this article.

Are newports cigarettes ?
If so a cigarette couldnt possibly make you higher it might give you a headspin if you arent normally a tobacco smoker.When i started smoking it was kinda a high feeling only because of dizzyness that soon went away when i became a regular smoker i hated the dizzy feeling i dont know why i stuck with smoking.

I heard caffine kills your buzz is this true?

Does newports make you even higher and also if you heat up the filter with your lighter will this stop the fiber glass from causing harm?

Just sum things i've been wondering about since i am a big coke head and newports dont get me higher... Thankz!!!

fuck newports, especially. if you dont smoke cigarettes, dont even start. i heard something about the glycerin in cigarettes absorbs the thc in your blood, thus, making you higher...not sure if it's true. i'm addicted like a mother fucker so i smoke even when i dont have weed.

cocaine = evil ......wanna do a line?

Listen to Beeblebrox. He knows what he's talking about. He is wise.

For you younger stoners,

It is important that you do not get sucked into to myths, hype and other miscelleaneous bullshit surrounding drugs. i.e. caffeine killing your buzz, orange juice in your bong getting you higher, fiberglass in the filters of cigarettes, smoking out of tin cans giving you alzheimers etc. etc. Most of it is BS or it is a distorted version of the truth.

For instance, caffeine doesn't kill your buzz but it can make you more prone to anxiety, meaning if you smoke a ton of weed and drink lots of coffee, you may send your heart rate up and feel really anxious which can "kill" your buzz. Frankly, some weed and coffee does me just fine, in fact it feels pretty good, because it can add to your buzz, giving you a little energy boost while your high. Just don't overdo it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to patronize but DON'T believe what other people tell you necessarily because they probably heard it from another stoner who heard it from another stoner who heard it from another stoner who made it up when he was high.

Point is there is alot of misinformation but there is alot of real information, like on this site for instance that will help you separate the myths from reality.

You obviously have the internet, so you can use it to do some research. I know that sounds like homework but what could be better than homework about WEED! Well, no homework obviously and just weed maybe.

Smoke smart people!

well....i can relate with gotta have a cig after smoking a few bowls or after a j, its a good feeling.


But is anyone absolutlly sure about the caffine thing?

yes im sure it will not decrease your high by drinking a cup of joe or a soda now if you took a half a box of nodoz it might kinda slow it down a lil bit but it will not kill
