breathing through a roach!?

[vectra]

does anyone elce like breathing thru a roach ever?.. might sound weird but sometimes i just roll a quick roach at home because i feel like i can fill my lungs better by taking in air slower and i like the feel of a cold jet off air hitting the back of my throat..

never smoked from a bong onl joints for many years so my lungs r prety fucked n sometimes feel heavy, i find this helps espicaly with breathing excersizes etc

in what sense do you mean "roach"?

the term commonly refers to the burned out butt of a joint.
the majority of the time, when there is that little of a space for smoke to travel through the hits are hot (burns on lips) and harsh.

do you smoke weed with tobacco?



NEVER tried a bong? my god man! try it, i guarantee you will never look back! about 10% of what gets put into a joint/blunt gets used in a bong, and gets you 10 times as high!

from a joint only about 20% of the actual thc content of the joint gets into you. the rest lost in the sidestream smoke, resination (sp?) at the butt end, and pyrolyzation (about 50%)

hey, by roach i meen the make shift filter u roll from a peice of rizla box that goes on the end of a joint.
some people roll withouout one but i was talking about basicaly rolling up a bit of card and breathing threw it lol..
but yer smoking roach can also meen smoking the butt of a joint tastes horible, burns ya lips and is harsh.. i usualy chuck em or save them in the ashtray for a rainy day!

yup i smoke with tobacco, never tried a bong but i did make a lightbulb vaporizer once from a vid on u-tube.. that was prety cool

I'd like to know where you got those %'s

 

[vectra]

i woulda thought it depends how you smoke the joint and if its a nice tight roll..

saying that the most amazing buz ive ever got was not from smoking or the vaporizer.

it was when i made firecrackers! ate 2 i made from a £10 draw, munched them and hour later felt nothing, so i rember hitting a joint couple times and then feeling properly stoned! more then ive ever been lol

NSFW:

apart from that there is quite a bit of study thats been done on this.
and also from first hand experience (i only smoke bongs and blunts, 9 out of 10 times its a bong)
and common sense that around half the thc is gone in pyrolyzation.
(why its better to light a jay or a bong with a burning (but not flaming) cocktail stick instead of a butane lighter. theres a difference in immediate temp. of around 100 degrees or so.

the lit end of a joint, blunt etc is far hotter than the temperature at which thc is released. what you actually feel when smoking ganja in a joint is the thc just behind the lit end, being vapourised and drawn back in intertwined with the smoked plant matter.


when you smoke through a bong, none of the smoke is escaping (unless you pack a biiig bowl and dont snap it all in one hit)

that is why you can take a pinch of ground up bud and bong it, and get way higher than you would if you put 7 times that amount into rolling a joint.




& aye Vectra i didnt know if u meant the UK term or the Yank term.
you should definitely pick up a bong next time u toke! even a wee acrylic (plastic) £10 one, youll see exactly what i mean bro!

 

[HighonLife]

^ what does that picture prove?

did you create that pic yourself?

Regardless, i dont doubt the ideas behind your % might be correct, i was just wondering where you got these concrete figures you were throwing around as fact. again not saying they are way off/ correct/ wrong or any of that i just thought it was odd that you had figures like that on such an action

carry on

to answer the OP:

yes, breathing slowly through a constricted airway like a straw can help improve your diaphragm muscle. your lungs can take in a LOT more oxygen if you breathe slowly and deeply. all people, especially smokers, can benefit from deep cleansing breaths. try to inhale through your nose and exhale through your teeth. you should create pressure deep in your belly to push the air through your teeth. the exhale should take more time (more constricted airflow) than the inhale, but don't go so slowly that you gasp for your next breath (this is counterproductive to the exercise). gradually make your breaths slower and deeper until you feel a sense of calm wash over you.

(in my circle of smokers, the paper tip of a joint is called the 'crutch' before it is smoked, and a 'roach' is the resinated plant matter end of a joint that did not have a crutch)

if there are so many studies blah blah blah how about linking to atleast even ONE before posting an animation of a joint which doesnt prove anything what so ever

suck my ass, and learn to read.

i never said studies, i said study.



your brain is to be used.
have you ever smoked/seen a joint smoking?


it might not prove anything but its correct & common sense.

 

[stuckinaloop]

from a joint only about 20% of the actual thc content of the joint gets into you.

IMO this is not correct OR common sense

apart from that there is quite a bit of study thats been done on this.

Damn I must be stupid as fuck...can't read for shit I guess. According to you, there was quite a bit of "study" that's been done on this...so quite a bit of one study??

Or was there no studies and this is just common sense?

 

[Sega420]

well i put about 5% of what i put into a joint in a bong, and there is a noticeable difference in effect.

i could go on google and cite shit but we all know that wont happen as im a lazy cunt who cant be bothered.


but i got my info on the thc percentages from google.
along the lines of "thc percentage joint" and "thc consumption effectiveness" for searches.








but then again, i am but an online entity, i do not exist, nothing i say should be taken seriously


peace

I smoke from a bong occasionally, but i prefer a joint, I don't mind that it takes more to get stoned, cause I like to relax, take it easy, smoke it slowly. Not rip it all at once and feel like my lungs just collapsed 8) but thats just me, i guess.

i agree with the joint wasting theory. if i took the amount of bud in a joint and smoked it with a bowl i would get way higher. and even higher if you pack individual hits

I agree whole heartedly I just think these %'s are bs..some random # someone pulled out of their ass

I would MUCH rather smoke a bowl than a joint

IMO joints are the bottom of the barrel for me.

I smoke blunts (which I am sure you loose a lot too) for the most part, but If I was really tryign to conserve I would go bong all the way

 

[Tripman]

Joints don't even get me high... Smoke that amount in bongs...

I've heard that smoking a joint or spliff is just like using a vaporizer and that smoking a J is the best way to smoke herb but I'm not sure if that's true.

Joints or spliffs are nice at parties or if you're smoking in the woods or even public and just want to burn and ditch the roach and not carry anything on you but the wasted smoke and amount of herb isn't always good.

It's like you wrote how you can take that amount of herb even if it's a pinner and put that into a one hitter, bowl, or bong, and get way higher than if you just smoke it all in a J alone or with multiple people.

 

[stuckinaloop]

smoking a joint is no at all like smoking a vaporizer lol. you are burning the weed
