Dangers of smoking resin

[whippa craka]

Hey all,

I used to smoke blunts, alot and I wouldnt have much trouble with cardio issues. Then I smoked out of the same pipe/bowl for a few weeks, and BAM. Can't run at all and if I do im dizzy as hell and out of breath. The pipe was full of resin. I know some methods of smoking are healthier then others, but I feel what causes pipe/bowl methods to be dangerous is that you keep smoking the waste of burnt weed. When smoking from a blunt or papers, you smoke that one amount and its done, then you get another fresh dutch later on with no more of the other shit left behind from the other weed. Opinions?

EDIT: I was thinking about this and when you smoke a blunt, atleast some ash is falling off. In a pipe/bowl, you keep hitting and hitting and hitting the same crap until you empty it. Tar, carbon, resin, weed and all.

 

[deaf eye]

i dont know but smoking dust always seemed to contaminate your bowl with pcp resin,

I don't think that smoking resin would have much an effect on your cardiovascular system, as it still has the same chemicals(though less) that the buds have. Have you made a major change to diet or anything else that could contribute?

 

[whippa craka]

No, I have played sports all my life and smoked for a few years. I am very conscience of changes with my body. I can definitly tell the difference, coughing up more mucas and having it be harder to catch my breath. I can make the symtoms go away by not smoking out of something with resin in it within 5-7 days.

Hmmm well then it sounds like resin IS the culprit here. Maybe clean your pipe after a few uses. Or it could be the strain. Thats always a possibility too.

 

[whippa craka]

Yeah. Out of curiosity, sometimes I think I get weed laced with shit to make it smell better and stuff even though its already piff. Is this common?

 

[Chainer]

no, not at all. your bud isn't going to be laced if you're just buying from a dealer, it does not financially make any sense.

You do realise general smoking will cause you to be generally less fit, shortness of breath and whatnot right?

It's the fact you were smoking for a couple of weeks that's done you. Yeah the resiny bowls won't help but you either stop smokikng and have good lung capacity or carry on smoking and have shitty lungs.

Just clean your piece more often, it's not that hard. And see if things change if not give up smoking for a little bit or for good.

I disagree. I have currently been smoking for 4, almost 5 months now straight alternating between bowls and dutches. I can clearly see the difference, without any bias. I truly am way more exhausted.

no, not at all. your bud isn't going to be laced if you're just buying from a dealer, it does not financially make any sense.

That's what I would have thought, but is there a such thing as even a simple spray that could help mimic good qualities of weed? Like something that only cost a couple bucks to lace a zip or somethin

 

[It's a baby!]

The amount of resin in your pipe is probably only a small fraction of the resin deposited in your lungs.

I don't think that smoking pot causes lung cancer, but smoking it heavily can definitely cause bronchitis or even emphysema if you go overboard. I'd take a break for a month or two at least, use a vape or eat it instead.

I've been there too so I quit smoking everything and was feeling much better after a couple months.

Synthetic cannaboids, but I don't think many people know what the fuck that even is. I highly doubt it. Either way it would cost a hell of a lot more then a couple bucks to lace a zip, unless you buy wholesale research chems.

 

[xstayfadedx]

Nobody is lacing this guys shit at all.

i smoked a ball of res the other night as a matter of fact..got me high enouf to go to sleep ha.

And i smoke blunts to man, but when you smoke blunts you still inhale all that resin only, IT is IN THE BLUNT...think about it, you know all the weed between the fire end and the hittin end gets soaked in resin eg..ROACHES are MORE POTENT.

Pipe resin is nasty and is only to be smoken when absolutly nescessary, but it makes no since to declare a pipe any more of a dangerous way to smoke, unless you are inhaling bits of weed or something..........
Peace

They have Cannabis Cologne, i saw on some gift site...
Id love to wear it but it puts me at risk of...well you know ill smell like weed and might actually have some, but spray some on some crappy weed and Wallah ya got some DANK!

nah thats not entirely true.
well, maybe in the states it is, but here in ireland its not.
unless you get it off some hippie with a green house, your buds are gonna be sprayed with something....

This is what I was thinking. In reality the bud probobly goes through dozens of peoples hands. Who knows what they could have put or tossed in it to make it smell better or for the sake of a joke 0_o

I dont think 'laced' is the right word, maybe the plant has been sprayed with pesticides before harvest and not rinsed off...

I know for fact many people who sell on the street don't care about who they are selling to. They don't care if they sell you weed that was sprayed two days ago with Malathion , Pyrethrin , DDT, god who knows now days with so many insecticides.

I could very well be wrong, but, guess we may never know.
I think the title of this thread is a bit off. Figured it'd be the dangers of actually smoking resin.
Can I ask you, What are you BLUNT wraps made of , something that would cause more resin then weed alone I would guess.

Ever try a vaporizer?

And here's a question when you were 'switching' from blunts to pipes, how long would you smoke on blunts before you went back to a pipe?
A week? 2 weeks? Are you sure that you NEVER in that time mixed both a blunt and a pipe in one week?
If it persists(problems breathing), even with a vaporizer, then maybe smoking isn't the best of ideas.

-Edit-
Also, I know of many growers in Northern and Central California (where I am located), and I know that when growing large crops of marijuana, the growers look at their crops as money, not as "Oh, someone is going to be ingesting this, guess I should have their best interest in mind."

I've watched people do this, it is unfortunate, and I don't approve of it, but unfortunately I don't have the power to change how people grow and care for their weed. All I know is I grow my own weed so I know what goes into it, whats on it, and what it is and what it isn't.

If you know your dealer, and he's a friend, maybe you should ask to see his plants , or ask his method of growing (as many growers don't want to show their plants off publicly) ask what he uses for Insecticides and fertilizers. does he fertilize the plant through spraying of the leaves, nutrients into the soil?

I would be interested to read any legitimate sources of information on this, specifically citing results of a chemical analysis.

I agree that the most dangerous thing that could be in the weed is fertilizers and pesticides that haven't been properly removed from it. I could usually taste that and I think it's why some weed gives me a headache, but I'm not sure as it could be just placebo. Chances are very very slim your weed has been adulterated in any way.
