For the stoners

In the interests of science I established that the average cone I smoke is around 0.075g.
I love smoking cones.
I smoke on average 11 cones a day - a fairly big habit but not as big as some.
That means that this year I have smoked about 10.75 oz of high quality dope in the last 12 months. Its probably cost me over $2600.
10.75 oz is a big pile of weed - can anyone figure out for me how much tar (in grams) I would have inhaled? or even the aproximate weight of pure THC?
I don't really care - I'm not going to stop or anything I just want to know.

I don't think it would be possible to calculate with any accuracy the amount of tar you have inhaled. There are too many variables, like, every strain and then every plant and every bud on that plant probably has a different amount of tar. But, just for fun....
I hear that dope contains about 2x as much tar as tabaco. I guess thats about 25mg of tar per 1g of dope.
10.75oz dope = 301g dope
301g dope x 25mg tar = 7525mg tar
So you've inhaled 7.5g of tar this year.
Thats about as much tar contained in 30 packs of cigs. Probably more like 60 packs smoked, because half of a cig ends up floating into the air, where as all the smoke from a cone ends up in your lungs.
But really those numbers mean nothing, since they are all just guesses.

LMFAO!! goddamn loch ness monster!
Stoners.. hehe
Shit when compared to cigarettes, mull really is the "healthy" alternative

...and also... do you smoke it green?

There needs to be more stonner recignition on this forum. I am proud to be green!! Who is with me!!
*raises the green flag*
Who will lead the revolution? Each to their bong, for each bong some green!!

*continues to stir shit*

I don't spin, and around here (Brisbane)thats unusual. Nearly all my friends add about half to three quaters of a cig. with every g. of weed.
Even a small amount of tobacco in my bowl will make me cough my guts out, the opposite true for most others.
Is everyone on to the coffee grinder scissor and bowl substitute? For those that like to chop in bulk, or have just reached the pinnacle of laziness and can't be fucked chopping. It takes 2 seconds and turns it to powder!

I tried the coffee grinder routine but I found something was lacking from the whole production. I kinda like sitting arround for ten minutes chopping each little peice up until its as fine as dust

*Joins the Green army*
I'm a fan of having a small amount of tabacco with my weed, it makes me one hyperactive muther. I'm also a fan of homegrown weed.
The weed that I usually come across is a very strong strain, which I don't enjoy as much as that mellow mellow homeground pot, which we only stumble across every now and then.
The area that I live in is actually one of the largest storehouses of pot in Sydney, which is always an interesting fact to tell people. Shitloads of arrests involving shitloads of stash.

In a university college, not all that long ago....
I got a bong for 18th birthday. It was a cute little waterfall, and I always filled it with fresh, ice cold water every day. Then some mofo lost it (I've really got no-one to blame but myself). So when it was missing I started smoking other peoples, but no-one I knew has the same hygene standards. Or maybe I've got a sensitive sense of smell. But I fucken hate bongskank. Pulling cones makes so much sense, but no stoner can ever be bothered cleaning up afterwards. That's why joints are good.

Oh, and bobrick: mull-o-matics aka supermarket herb cutters cut a better guage than coffee thingos.(imho)
Also, if you think you smoke too much, or that it's costing you too much (as I'm sure most of the people who have read this thread probably do), take a week or two off every so often. It doesn't take much for your tolerance to increase substantially.
Two Alcohol-Free Days are recommended every week (that's not really hard). But I try and take a couple of months off from ganga every year. Particularly when I need my short-term memory. Because short-term memory is good. Particularly when I need my short-term memory.

coffee grinders, double chambers??? Whats this world coming to, wateva happened to a sesh with an orchy bottle bong, scissors stolen from the art room and your science book as the bowl down the bush? AGE
hehehe...the good old days
double chambers are quite smoothy and do pack a punch, but we've (in the last year) come across bongs you put in the freezer before a choof(guessing im not the only one to experience the technical adnvances being made in bong smoking) and they rock, weve also had a bong with 6 chambers.
To the point, thats a scary figure when you put it all together (the tar) as i smoke a pack of winnie blues a day (probably bout half, but on the way to work i get hit up left, right and centre) and at least half oz of choof a week, i think youll see me in toilet of westmead hospital in 20 years time smoking a joint through my hole in the chest, at least ill die happy!!

p.s bobrick, when u use the coffe grinder, after a few mixes do you scrape it clean?
cos you get this mad powder mull that builds up and when u smoke...K.O

I find that it's really nice to use iced water in a bong, but unfortunately each time I actually put super-cold water, or water+ice cubes into the chamber, after about 15-30min the water sucks all the heat out of the metal stem and cone, cooling it to the point where moisture from the air begins to condense on the metal. Not a major problem, but it can cause condensation to form inside the cone - not a great deal, but it can make the outside layer of a cone damp, and not easy to pull through.
So, I don't use the ice water method much anymore.

bt, you know those blue ice packs u can get for an esky? This bong shop i know sells bongs that have a part of the blue shit in the bong, so you put it in the freezer and when you smoke through it the smoke goes through a chamber that contains blue shit, the smoothness is impeccable and second to none. Hunt one down, your looking at about $60 Aus.

Yes the scraping of the coffee grinder is a much anticipated event in my house. The results of the scraping is called "gold". When enough is collected so that multiple cones of pure crystal can be obtained, its known as a "gold rush".
When the call "theres gold in them thar hills" goes up all housemates must assemble around the bucket bong. This can (and frequently does) happen any hour of the day. We pay homage to the great dope provider in the sky by praying (repeatedly) in to a full bucket of filthy water.
Sometimes a gold rush can lead to bongathon, in which housemates are challenged to go cone for cone with Dougzilla, using the oversised double chamber reinforced glass waterfall bong. Dougzilla is the reigning bong olympian and cannot be beaten (although it sure is fun to try). Dougzilla emerges only after smoking monster cones of gold.
Losers are known as "bitches" and may be co-erced into late night servo missions.

ROFLMFAO!!!!
We just smoke bongs, were over the competitions cos its like the never ending story, 6 of us smoked almost a quarter pound of poey skunk and we came to a mutual agreement, were all serious bongheads. As for the gold thing, what a fucking call!!

note to self: Don't open stoner threads at work
Its a gardening site, honest

Listen here Bong boy, we must prevent that evil To Bacco from infiltrating our lush green world. We're running perfectly smooth without him!
...Oooook
Heh, yeah i smoke green. Seems heaps smooth to me, compared to if i have a cone with spinner. But the reverse is true for those that smoke spun alot. I don't mind having a cone of spun occasionally tho, like VERY occasionally. Cos i dont smoke ciggs the baccy really gives me a mass headspin, its kinda weird, smacks u on your arse a bit. I'm used to the stoned creeping on.
Anyway, Weedman, out
