no, filters are for the "tar" of the burning product. Doesn't affect the effect.

Yes it does. Use common sense. THC is a tar, its a resin, and the filter filters out the tar resin from tobacco.

I dont care what anyone says, its true. It's just common sense.

you're still gonna get high if you use a cigarette filter, it will just filter some of the thc out, so you won't get as high, rip the cigarette filter off

Resin is the byproduct of cannabis combustion, not THC
THC is the active DRUG.. in the plant.

Speaking from personal experience, we used filters when my sister was smoking for medicinal reasons, at least after the first couple of tries. The smoke was too harsh for her when it was unfiltered. I tried smoking it both ways, too, along with her. And there was absolutely no difference in the quality of the highs with filtered versus unfiltered joints. The filters we used were some little roll-up hemp filters I got from an online site called 1%.com, not the fiberglass filters like you find in tobacco cigarettes. Those filters helped ease the inhalation since we were unaccustomed to inhaling smoke of any kind, and the high was still very strong.

Oh yes, im not doubting that you still get high, but it is obvious that some THC is lost. I'd just rather not be loosing any, but like you just said, its personal preferance isnt it?

yeh that's what i'm saying, i don't like to do anything that is going to alter the amount of thc i'm getting in any way, unless it increases it? hehe, even if it is a ridiculously small amount that gets filtered, i'd feel better not using that, that's just me though.
