Does smoking the stems of marijuana REALLY give you a headache?

So i live in Oregon where medical marijuana is legal (please, no angry mods telling me this has to do with illegal activity), and i was just wondering if smoking the stems really does give you a headache?

Ummm…this Board isn’t actually about drugs.

The phrase “The Straight Dope” is an old slang expresssion meaning “the accurate information”.

This happens several times a year.

no duh…if you notice, none of my other questions have involved drugs…it’s just a question i would like to know an answer to…

Well first off, let me just say that I have a little experience when it comes to smoking marijuana. With that said, I can say that I never incurred a headache due to smoking the stems of marijuana. Just why exactly would you be trying to smoke the stems anyway? The only BAD effect I could ever say about marijuana is that sometimes it DOES cause headaches, but I don’t believe that’s from smoking the stems (since I usually take them out anyway), rather the harshness of the marijuana itself. Good luck with your medical marijuana. :cool:
