I’m a chronic marijuana smoker and a hypochondriac so I was wondering which way of smoking weed is the least damaging. Are ice bongs less bad since the smoke is cooled/almost liquid smoke or is that worse for you lungs?? What about using a vaporizer? I heard that its the best way but I’m skeptical as it still warms the throat or burns the average persons throat. Obviously smoking marijuana without tobacco is much better, but i love my joints too so is there maybe a hemp tobacco or some weird less damaging substance i can mix with my dope as where i live there is mainly hash so i can’t roll pure joints plus weed doesn’t burn well by itself either.
Well if someone can answer this or point me in the right direction that would be great, thanks.
I’ve never tried one but I’ve read that the vaporizer method is the cleanest smoke.
The reason for this, as has been decribed to me, is that the temperature that THC (what you want in you) vaporizes is somewhat lower than the burning temperature of the remaining vegetable matter in the marijuana. The bad stuff (CO, toxins, ash, etc) is supposed to stay unburned.
Huh-huh… you said “chronic.”
Seriously: you’re going to be inhaling particles of a foreign substance into your lungs regardless, so there’s going to be some nasty after-effects. I would consider buying a good non-stick pan and sautéeing your substance in butter. Bake it into brownies or other buttery foods, and the chemicals will be absorbed into your blood stream without ever burning your throat or touching the inside of your lungs.
Of course, I recommend that you quite altogether, as marijuana is illegal and the financial and legal damage you risk are, in the short term, much more risky.
They’re all pretty damaging to the marijuana.
Er, that’s not the kind of dope that the board name refers to . . .
