hey guys ive been getting pain in the back of my mouth/tongue/throat recently when smoking bud. it feels dry, raw, and sort of burned... this has never happened before and im pretty sure its related to the smoking itself... can anyone tell me why this is? its becoming rather irritating and somewhat worrysome...

You're getting cotton-mouth and you're inhaling hot smoke. Perhaps try a bong? I prefer vaporizers but not everyone likes them; but you can hook a vaporizer up to a bong. I've never done this since the hot vapor isn't that harsh, and it's not like hot smoke.

The amphetamines could be dehydrating your throat and giving you much more cotton mouth than weed alone. Try sipping on water steadily over your sessions; not a gulp, just sips to hydrate your mouth.

Agreed. No matter how many studies come up showing the harmlessness of weed, smoking is an unhealthy activity.
Until someone on this earth dies from smoking only weed ill believe you when you say its unhealthy, fact of the matter is there have been 0 deaths from soley weed smoking, it truly isnt unhealthy, no more than eating a choco bar, and it combats tumors and cancer cells so its actually healthy
But obviously its the amphetamines, i smoke errr day multiple times and its never bad enough to make me consider cutting back, just get a drink dawg and stick to kush

Agreed. Having said that, invent me an edible or vaporizer that gives me the same, exact, "stoney" high as smoked cannabis does, and I'll switch over.
so i have a lot of points to address.
1394 - I dont 'do amps', i take adderall for ADHD. Its a combo of d/l amphetamine, and i legitimately have the condition and take it for that reason. Sorry if it sounded like i was abusing street amphetamines.
PriestTheyCalledHim - i cant vape or smoke out of a proper bong. wish i could, but i lack the means of obtaining and using a bong or vape.
ErgicMergic - yeah thats what ive started doing. got a big gallon jug i just take sips from, works great, and its designed in such a way that i wont drink too quickly.
buffalosoldier - i have no way of making cannabutter without stinking the hell out of my house.
Ho-Chi-Minh - yeah i know its not that great for me, but i figure the cost to benefit ratio is much better than cigarettes, and id rather smoke weed and do some (mostly) reversible damage. even if it kills me 5 years earlier, its well worth the fun. yes there are better ways to use weed, but smoking is the easiest, most convenient, and only possible ROA atm for me.
as to the harmlessness of weed, it has been shown that weed smoke contains at least as many (if not more) carcinogens than tobacco smoke. however, THC has been proven to be an inhibitor of cancer formation and growth, and can actually kill cancerous cells. Nicotine, on the other hand, has been shown to perform the opposite function on cancer cells. Nicotine itself isnt really the cause, but it does promote the growth of cancer that is already present. In addition, stress plays a major role in many cancer formations. Nicotine increases average stress levels, while weed has been shown to be the 2nd most powerful stress releaser/reducer, right behind sex.

Would you really only believe that something is unhealthy if someone dies from it?
I beg to differ:

Unless you can find studies which directly contradict these in effect you are out of luck.
Let's get some other opinions in here. Is smoking weed about as unhealthy as eating chocolate?
I repeat: smoking anything is not good for you. It certainly can't be compared eating.
I used to smoke every day, for about two years. By the end I was routinely coughing up tar. That can't be good.
Gearfiend I don't begrudge you your weed nor do I think its very unhealthy at all if used moderately. Do you mind citing a source for that claim about it reducing stress so potently?

smoking weed can deeeeeeefinittttely be compared to eating chocolate actually, its probably just as bad for you, because like weed chocolate has some good and some bad, but the good for weed outweighs the good for the chocolate have you ever thought that if your lungs can repair fully in a month after quitting it obviously isnt that bad, and thats for any long term smoker, no matter how long you've been smoking weed.
and have you ever heard of someone being stuck in a chair having a machine do all your breathing for you, just constantly caughing not being able to talk without a fucked up voice just from weed, i know i haven't, all those people smoke cigarettes. you must have been smoking blunts or hitting bongs, thats the worst way to blaze, blunts is really the only way you'll cough up tar alot
And i've actually been smoking everyday for 2.5 years and i neeeeeever caugh up tar, and im dead serious i never do, and i blaze multiple times a day, if i ever did id change my ways for sure. and i smoke blunts on every now and then and there was a period when i was hitting bongs for a yeqar and half staright, each and everyday, dont let this guy scare ya guys
everything im saying is for people who just smoke weed and no cigs, like myself

sorry man i cant remember where i read it but i have. its some abscure abstract and i have no idea how to find it again. you could look for it if u want... im too tired and stoned to think very hard right now lol
you, sir, reek of troll.
alright well you can believe what you want. all i know is IMO, what your saying is completely illogical and it sounds like your ignorance is your shield.
That's my stance too.
