you most certainly can get an intense high from eating cannabis, though you have to eat quite a bit...for the next 3 hours i couldnt do much besides sit or lay on the floor and be really stoned...

Oh man, you're so lucky. I've made brownies on a number of occasions but they've NEVER made me high at all. I'm not too worried about it though b/c it's dry season and I just got some badass dank tonight. Yummy. %)
 
The joint containing 4 times more tar than a single cigarette is a bit wrong.. That is if you use leaf to roll your joints.. Leaf has alot mroe tar, but also way less THC, so no one really smokes it. It's used for cooking..

I don't think there's been any public recordings of pot causing lung cancer, as most pot users through out their life have either smoked cigarettes, or mixed it with their weed. Cigarettes are definately worse for cancer, altho I have heard of stories of it increasing mouth cancer.. JUst because it's unfiltered plant smoke.. Any smoke could do it.
 
so i tried weed for the first time. first impression- good shit!

although i seem to be getting more of these touchy feelings usually assosiated with E though. hmm, interesting.

and it seems like the day afterwards, after i smoke, my mucus from my nose seems to have these small dots of blood in them... my lungs also feel shit.

well, ocne a month should be okay for this kind of stuff :P
 
Uhhhh technically Silverfucked bongs ARE better for you. While the water may filter out some of the THC apparently smoke that is water filtered contains significantly less carcinogenic and harmful materials. There was a study posted in Aus Drug Discussion (can't be fucked finding it right now) a few months ago, that backed this up.

-plaz out-
 
I wouldnt mind seeing that.. I got my info straight from the cannabis page at Erowid... However, the erowid study is old, and I would like to read a newer study..

Like I said earlier, smoke is bad for you do to its heat alone, burning the cilia in your throat.. Those cilia which export solids out of your lungs.. Bongs may cool the smoke down enough that less of this burn damage occurs.
 
what effects does thc have on one's brain? Can anyone vaguely attempt to explain how smoking weed works?

well, im gonna be trying pot soon, (yes, i've never tried it!) and i want to ask a few questions about it.

Firstly, does it cause cancer like cigs?
Comparing Cigs Vs Pots... which one is more unhealthy?
Long Term Pot smoking- is this going to damage my lungs (i.e. not enough air gets into it, hurt my althetic abilities?)
Is it going to cause infections?
What is the worst effect of smoking Pot?

Now, i've read up on erowid, but they weren't too detailed about the negative side effects, and i just want reassurances in some of the areas.

Im a non smoker, and i've built up an ethical issue NOT to smoke cigs at all.. and i havn't even tried one cig yet.

Will i be coughing my brains out if i just jump straight into weed, smoking it through a bong?


Thanks in advanced :)

1. There are studies that show that it does not cause cancer, its believed to be the radioactivity in tobacco smoke that causes cancer...
2. Ciggs, no question...
3. Doubt it, if you turn into a heavy smoker you might get a bit of tar in them... but you also have to look at the fact that it dilates the airways so you can take deeper breaths easily...
4. Apathy
5. Through a bong, yea your probably going to cough.... but some people are natural born smokers... my friends first time smoking he hit the bong and cleared the bowl in 1 hit, massive hit and he didn't even choke at all.. my first time i was on the floor coughing and everything was starting to spin...

Oh and keep in mind that its not going to hit you as soon as the smoke hits your lungs, its probably going to creep up on you a bit.... I made the mistake of taking several bong rips before i even really started to feel the first one and holy jesus i was way to high, so high it was uncomfortable... but then again i was smoking dank my first time.

My advice is just take it slow, take 1 good bong rip... and see how you feel in 5 minutes, if your not high take another. Unless the weed really sucks you should get high your first time, i think most people just don't inhale enough but a bong makes not inhaling impossible. just try the smoke for a few seconds, breath out and then cough until you feel better... don't be scared to cough any decent pothead wont look down on you for coughing your first time or anytime for that matter....
 
I really doubt all of this bullshit about joints containing more tar than ciggaretes I remember once a guy came to my school to talk about weed and cigs and he held up a big ass jar maybe 1/2 a litre at least FULL of tar and said that that is how much tar is in one marijuana joint...me and my friends promptly responded with a loud chorus of BULLSHIT! =D ahhh those were the days.

But honestly how can one joint have that much tar? I feel like my lungs would be full of tar if that were true being a pretty regular smoker (2-5 days a week) but I have a 96% lung capacity and one of the highest total lung volume's of the people in my bio class last year? However the same cannot be said for tobacco...I once smoked only blunts for about 3 weeks of summer (summer=smoking every day of course) and by the end when I tried to take a deep breath I would cough my lungs out! But once I went back to the bongs bowls and joints with only the occasional blunt my lungs were back to their old selves...tobacco is the true culprit here...not weed.
