Back in the day when friends of mine used to enjoy the bitch's company, I remember hearing a couple of odd rumours about her. One friend was told to exhale a hit very quickly after getting a lung full to avoid having the smoke recrystallize on the inside of one's lungs. My friend always thought this was kind of silly, it seemed like having the smoke in one's lungs was the whole point of the exercise, and any goodies left behind would just absorb into one's bloodstream. Another friend was told to carefully heat a fresh pipe until smoke blows out of the top, because the first bit of smoke can have potentially harmful impurities in it. However, this friend found through personal experience, that first hit from a fresh pipe tends to be one of the best, and that sometimes the last couple of hits seem to vapourize at a higher temperature, and have much less, if any effect. The same friend also heard a little tidbit from someone at a party, about not inhaling the very last bit of smoke in the pipe if it has been allowed to cool for a period of time. This person figured that the smoke was cool enough that it could recrystallize on it's way through your mouth or throat, and cause extra irritation. My friend experimented with this and thought that there seemed to be some truth to it, but who knows. I've always wondered how true any of it was, and was hoping someone could shed some light on it.
 
The best anyone can do is speculate. I will leave this open for a bit and see if anyone more experienced with meth can chime in with solid and factual advice, if it doesn't yield some good info soon, though, I will close it.

OP - be sure to read the "greenlighters guide to BL" and the Bluelight User Agreement.
Thanks.
 
1. Meth does not "recrystallize" in your lungs, depending on the pH (acidity) it simply "oils out" or dissolves. Mostly dissolves. A great deal of the oral damage could be caused by hot methamphetamine vaours or you gritting your teeth all day.

2. Smoking meth is harmful any way you slice it, especially street meth. Of course as you boil the meth off the heavier cuts and impurities will remain and your hits get dirtier with every go.

3. Smoking "pre-smoked" meth is even worse because every time you apply heat to it, you're breaking some down. By the time you've used a pipe for the 5th or 6th time I would imagine there could be some pretty funky tars on it.

I think this pretty much covers all the bases.

This single sentence covers it for me. Same thing I used to tell my friends when they shared these tips. I just wanted a second opinion.
