How Much Does Bongwater Really Filter Out?

How Much Does Bongwater Really Filter Out? In my estimation, smoking weed, in terms of actual smoke damage to the lungs, is as dangerous as smoking an unfiltered cigarette. In your estimation, how much do you think pulling the smoke thru water decreases it's toxicity?

I've never read a scientific study regarding this, but I would imagine that the water, while not filtering out THC, might take some junk out, but the unglamorous truth is that no matter how much water you run it through, you're going to pay for it sooner or later with either diminished lung capacity or even, god forbid, lung cancer of the big E.

Just a guess: bongwater probably sucks 25% of the by-products of combustion out. Either way, you're still setting a plant on fire and sucking the smoke into your body!

Here's a short part of what I've read on Wikipedia.

Most smokers believe that bongs are healthier than other smoking devices; however, a 2000 NORML-MAPS study found that "waterpipes filter out more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect"

The fact is, smoking weed causes some damage to the lung, but not the kind of deep lung damage that causes emphysema.

Second, weed doesn't have as many cancer causing chemicals, even before all the additives in cigarettes.

Finally, not a single death has been related to weed alone (i.e. no cigs), cancer or otherwise.

With that in mind, a bong hit only makes the hit go down easier... the harm-reducing is negligible in respect to %THC inhaled.

i would rather live 3 years high everyday, than live 20 more never gettin high... live your life as if tommorrow won't come and you will be ok...

(100% true story)a good friend of mine smoked for 30 years (marlboro red) and he was diagnosed with lung cancer around the time we started hanging out... also he stopped smokin cigs, started eating healthy, talkin to more ladies, and even his parents... and i got him high all the time... eventually after a few years, about 3, it spread from one side to the other, and he got really ill... and i would have make weed cakes and brownies, and thc butter for him... he would still hang out and chill. and you could tell he was happier and more relaxed than when i first met him before the cancer... well one day driving to the hospital for some treatment or test, he was hit by an 18wheeler and killed... You cannot plan life, live to be content, follow your heart... this man used to tell me how he got high in high school but society told him it was wrong so he switched to cigs just to have something to smoke... and for years he dreamt about getting high, and had alot of internal struggles over it... it wasn't until he was diagnosed with cancer that he finally lived like he wanted to... In my eyes, cancer saved his life....

i don't know if there is a point... im high

[Profane Motherfucker]

Yeah. I'm a smoker, and I've just fallen off the wagon the last few days. Haven't had a Camel in a while. I wanna quit, and stop smoking weed, too, but eating it in food gives me a shitty high!
