Where are y'all?
Where are all of you Texas folks? It's been really quiet on this board, and I think it'd be fun to get some conversation going.
I'll mention here that I've smoked this week for the first time in about two decades, and it's been really nice. Originally got some herb for medicinal reasons to help my sister, who's sick from chemo, and it has made a big difference in both her appetite and her nausea. It's had the opposite effect on me in appetite (which is a good thing), but that may also be because I've been coughing a lot from the re-introduction of smoke into my lungs after so very long. May have to get a vape if I plan to keep this up. Do cigarette filters filter out the THC in weed?birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Where are y'all? Where are all of you Texas folks?

Hey Bird,
I hope your sister is feeling better. Chemo is no fun, I've witnessed relatives going thru that.
I've never tried a vape, but I hear good things about them. A bong would filter the smoke some. I'm sure a cigarette filter would do the same thing for herb as it does for tobacco, but I'm not sure how you would make it work.
I am currently out of herb, which sucks. I sure could use some on this rainy Saturday.

hey bird hope your sis is feeling better after smoking i went through the same thing with my wife she had pancreatic cancer and and the only thing that helped her eat was to smoke some herb and the government says it has no medicinal value they need to get real and understand that it has more medicinal value than 3/4 of the legal medicine on the market today ill never stop smoking peace to you and yours tell your sis to keep fighting because that what it is a fight and you have to want to win more than you want to lose

Ok..looking at your post too
Yes to filtering..since THC is oil based it will cling to anything. Remember trying to get resin off your fingers after cleaning your pipe or bong?

I saw some little cigarette-like filters where I bought these others, but I thought they might filter out too much of a good thing. Anyway, we probably lost some of the THC, but at least smoking was pulmonarily possible with the the filter there!
Did you see I wrote you back a boastful longhorn "tease" over on your Boomer Sooner thread in the Introduce Yourself board? I have a lot of fun razzing OU fans, but the funniest thing is that I really care very little about football. I'm always glad when the Horns and Cowboys win, but I'm even more glad to go read a book or take a nap while games are on.

Joints do nothing to cool the smoke, but they do filter better than a pipe (which does neither).
The best filter is a glass bong with a MASSIVE reservoir, filled with ice and water. Bubbling smoke through ice water cools it significantly, and catches larger particulates in the burnoff that would get sucked straight through a pipe stem. Cool and smooth.
Oh yeah, quality of what you're smoking will sometimes affect harshness too.
Twenty years huh? Wow. I thought I was doing something coming back from just a year layoff.
