Weed and Boys; a Difficult Combination

On the carinogen thing...I've read several places that smoking cigarettes while chewing gum isn't healthy, and while I've done it with weed and cigs, I know it makes the gum taste like shit. I agree with keeping a bottle of water handy --- even us hardcore stoners get drymouth often, it's just a side effect of pot, not really anything to do with experience. I agree with you smoking way less --- sometimes those of us with a tolerance don't realize that people new to it don't need quite as much as we do to get high, and I know that I never force people to use more than they can handle.

From this thread I can't tell to what extent your boy is into weed..even as a decently long time daily toker myself, it annoys me sometimes when someone only talks about weed and makes everything revolve around it --- if you are serious about dating him, from the perspective of another woman, I think you should make sure you evaluate that situation.

And NewbieRock, I've heard it increases the risks of mouth cancer as well, but jetlagged like hell at 2am I'm not feeling any source hunting...just tossing in that I've heard that too, but once again, only about tobacco smoke.
 
I know exactly what you're talking about, sucking dick or making out is annoying while that high. Like everyone else is saying, try not to get so high. If you want to smoke with him, take smaller hits or something so you can both keep taking hits. I personally avoid mixing weed with sex nowadays, but if you're going to you shouldn't be very high imo.

I assume the gum collects some nasties from the smoke, but I've done this more times than I can count if I don't have a drink on hand. More carcinogens are going to be absorbed by your gums than what you are chewing.

From what i've heard (read: heresay),
eating anything whilst smoking is 'bad' or 'worse' for you, because the smoke particles get into your taste buds, and this increases your risk of mouth cancer or something (the friend supported this with 'that's why you're not allowed to eat and smoke, but this could all just be a good leg-pull without science behind it.)

If you're new, you don't know your limit, and being around people that you are interested in / care about what they think, may be impacting on your enjoyment / experiences with the drug.
Most important thing you can remember, is to have fun with it, and not to dwell too much on the stupid shit you do on it, (you're stoned).
That being said, you should be mature enough to know when to be straight and when to be stoned, even when you have imbibed :)

Get less stoned, don't get stoned at all with him, or just get him to give you his ghosts, or just get him to share his smoke with you through kisses every now and then :)
 
The weed I've gotten from MM dispensaries such as the Green Cross have a sticker that says "The smoke from this product contains chemicals know to the state of California to cause cancer." Is this referring only to the byproducts of combustion, or something else?

And if something else, what?
 
^ anything you light on fire and inhale can cause cancer - it's a matter of to what degree. Yes, smoke from weed is carcinogenic.
 
Surely thered be some kind of disclaimer/ ingredients list if they were putting other stuff in your MM weed?

it's gotta be the fire thing..whatcould they add?
 
I doubt anything is added... the implication seems to be that the cannabis contains endogenous carcinogens. And that's precisely my question.... I'm not aware of any conclusive evidence supporting the claim that cannabis naturally contains cancer-causing agents.

Is Carbon Monoxide carcinogenic? I'm pretty sure pot smoke would contain CO, and that is certainly toxic, but that's not the same thing. :\
 
I'm unaware of any scale or something to compare to... the most often comparison is to cigs. I am not sure if cannabis orally is carcinogenic.

Cannabis smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including greater concentrations of certain aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene,[3] prompting fears that chronic marijuana inhalation may be a risk factor for tobacco-use related cancers.

However,
marijuana smoke also contains cannabinoids such as THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), which are non-carcinogenic[4] and demonstrate anti-cancer properties in vivo and in vitro.[5] By contrast, nicotine promotes the development of cancer cells and their blood supply.[6]

In addition, cannabinoids stimulate other biological activities and responses that may mitigate the carcinogenic effects of smoke, such as down-regulating the inflammatory arm of the immune system that is responsible for producing carcinogenic free radicals (unstable atoms that are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer.)[7]
