[MEGA]Methods of Smoking

[purple_cloud]

Yeah, this question gets asked a lot, so I'm going to merge this into our MEGA thread for methods of smoking...hope you find the information you are looking for in there OP.

There is no actual data to support your first claim (that I am aware of).

Yes, there is

And I was only talking about (in layman's terms) how high you get.

Then why not just say that rather than introducing concepts that are unrelated to the point you are trying to communicate?

More THC is decomposed in a joint because more THC crystals are burnt up completely in a joint (because it is always burning, no one puts out a joint after every hit)

Source? THC can withstand the temperatures in a burning joint without decomposing (obviously, because otherwise you couldn't get high). I don't even know what a THC crystal is, THC is an amorphous solid. If you are talking about the fact that there is no sidestream smoke that is lost when smoking from a bong, I already acknowledged that fact when I said that one of the reasons a bong gets you more stoned is the reduced wastage.

I must have completely missed that part, because I don't ever remember you mentioning that.

And can you stop posting the same data from irrelevant studies? It's starting to get annoying that your entire focus is the tar/THC ratio when I've mentioned several times before this is not my focus.

Yeah, you did miss it:

The fact that bongs get you more stoned is due to the reduced wastage, deeper inhalation and tendency to hold the smoke in longer.

And can you stop posting the same data from irrelevant studies? It's starting to get annoying that your entire focus is the tar/THC ratio when I've mentioned several times before this is not my focus.

That was actually the first time that I posted that data, and it was because you directly asked for it. It's not irrelevant, it explicitly corroborates the claim that I was making that you called into question. And in that instance, the point that I was making did not concern the tar/THC ratio at all, but the absolute THC content. Stop getting in such a tizz, you're making yourself look silly.

 

[Jibult]

The information in that study is relevant, you just have to extrapolate the data relevant to this conversation from the THC:tar ratio data. Look only at how the THC is effected throughout the process, don't focus on the tar part. Regardless of how you look at it, what the study alludes to is concrete: the THC/cannabinoid concentration you've been speaking of only goes down when you introduce water-filtration to the smoking method.

Sorry, I had to deal with people trying to shove the same tar/THC ratio bullshit down my throat (by jibult) when I mentioned before I don't care about the tar content, but how high you get for the smoking method.

And I've been dealing with purposeful ignorance (by TearItDown) because somebody refuses to acknowledge that personal experience can be quite misleading in a search for Truth.



If you don't care about the tar ratio, don't focus on it. It seems like you lack the ability to make contextual connections that aren't spelled out for you. I'm saddened by the fact that people can be so obtuse sometimes.

Bongs FTMFW. I fucking love my bongs.

There is nothing misleading about the fact that bongs get you more high than joints.

 

[Jibult]

But you were on a mission to explain why that is, and used "THC concentration" as the crutch to lean on. While your statement may've been correct (that joints get you higher than bongs) [Edit: I meant bongs get you higher than joints... woops], your reasoning was seriously flawed and backed up by claims of higher "THC concentrations" of marijuana smoke when pulled through a water bong-- a claim that is untrue in it's entirety and backed up by by research.


But nope, you purposefully choose to ignore the data that'll lead you to a correct conclusion for the sake of two, in my opinion, irrelevant reasons: the hypothesis of the research focused on THC:tar ratio and not just simply "THC concentration"; and the fact that, in your personal experience, bongs get you higher than joints.

Ahhhhhhh, I love purposeful ignorance. Or, if you want, we could just call it being stubborn. Hard-headed. Unwilling to concede a point that is staring you in the face (quite literally, because I'm sure you've read it several times by now).

Well, the issue's been put to bed now, if you want to carry on duking it out take it to PM.

 

[SmokeaJoint]

I smoked a joint this morning. Then I hit my bong. I got really high. Happy happy fun time!

 

[crankkt]

i smoke out of a one hitter most of the time if not always

 

[zyNc973]

Lightbulb + bowl = win.

Nawmeannnnnnnnnn?

ahahahahah just about every post ive ever made on these forums is about how awesome the lightbulb vape/bowl combo is... i guess im trying to convert as many ppl to my method of blazing as i can to get others on my level of pothead.. i really do believe im the most hardcore stoner registered on this website. nobody is as efficient with their weed as i am.

What a silly thing to say.

 

[coelophysis]

On the go - Joints
Chilling at home - Bowl or Water Pipe

lmaooo yea i did feel kind of silly when i said that, that was pretty unnecessary. its not even like im trying to brag or anything, but i take alot of pride in knowing that there are very few ppl in the world that do it as big with marijuana as i do.

nawmsayinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

lets have a toke off motherfuckerrrrrrr!!!! but nahh you could probably outoke me after i smoke a gram im pretty much deaded & done lolol..... but my advanced method of smoking is very impressive and puts me at the top of the game, thats why i consider myself a serious pothead. i got the title.

I smoked 6 grams yesterday. For my breakfast blunt. And it was a slow day, weed wise. I bet theres still folks on here who beat that, sadly.
