The Ultimate Question of THC

[OzzyOz]

well it's just alot of THC gets lost... it basically combusts... i think a volcano vaporizer or a Super Vapezilla vaporizer ( both $500 ) is a good investment for people who smoke more than a ounce a month.

I've talked to people who use the volcano, they say they used to smoke 3 grams a day, but now only smoke about 1.5 grams a day because the volcano vaporizer works so good.

what about me i must smoke about 6-7 grams a day should i buy a vlcano? but then i wouldnt b able to take it to work would i? i guess but then again it cost like 300 so is it such a great investment?

i need to get something like this... saves money in the long run!

you'd have to smoke alot ( hundreds of pounds ); or inject Synthesized THC

Alot of THC ( suprisingly ) is burnt when you smoke a bowl; or smoke a joint

that's why vaporizers realease 4x as much thc, it does damage the THC...

However, the situation was complicated by the fact that the cannabinoids produced by the electric hotplate vaporizer were unusually high in CBN, leaving 30% less THC as a percentage of the total cannabinoids than with the other smoking devices. Since CBN is not psychoactive like THC, recreational users might be expected to consume more smoke to make up for the deficit. (The situation may be different for medical users, who could experience other, medicinal benefits from CBN). For this reason, it seemed advisable to recompute the performance efficiencies of the vaporizers in terms of THC, rather than all cannabinoids. When this was done, the electric hotplate vaporizer turned out to have a lower THC/tar ratio than the unfiltered joint, while the hot air gun was still marginally higher.
-MAPS/CaNORML vaporizer and waterpipe studies

CBN is an inactive cannabinoid.

It is near impossible to overdose think about it if you smoke about 10 joints in an hour (never tried this) you would be asleep well I would so unless someone was justing making me eat pounds of MJ while I was unconcious. that doesnt make sense but it is impossible.

the only viable way to OD on pot is through a series of injections... erhm unless you cna fit 40,000 times the amount needed to get high into one shot lol



i need to find this shot! :| lol i have to die from pot, i cannot and WILL NOT die any other way!

THC Transfer Rate

The MAPS-NORML study provides new information on the efficiency of different devices in delivering THC from marijuana to the user. Previous studies have shown that 60% - 80% of the THC burned in joints or waterpipes is lost in slipstream smoke, adhesion to the pipestem and bowl, pyrolysis, etc. [Mario Perez-Reyes, Marijuana Smoking: Factors that Influence the Bioavailability of Tetrahydrocannabinol, in C. Nora Chiang and Richard Hawks, ed., Research Findings on Smoking of Abused Substances, NIDA Research Monograph 99, 1990]. The percentage of total THC delivered to the user is called the THC transfer rate. The unfiltered joint scored surprisingly well in smoking efficiency, coming in second place with a transfer rate close to 20%. The portable waterpipe did slightly better, and the bong slightly worse. The other devices did notably worse. The vaporizers and electric waterpipe did especially poorly, with transfer rates less than one-third that of the top three devices. Thus, heavy smokers could literally be blowing most of their stash away with bad pipes.

Dude 3 grams isnt that much. Nice spliff tho
