Bongs Are Bad???

[Smurf]

Years ago, I spoke about this same subject with my doctor, initially I told him that I smoked from a pipe instead of a bong because I theorized about water vapor collecting in my lungs,,,, his reply was that bongs are much better for our health than pipes. He then continued by claiming that people in the tropics where the humidity is extremely high (he used Northern Queensland as an example) do not develop lung problems because of water vapor on the lungs.... later in that year I approached another GP with the same inquiry, and she gave a similar explanation.
Now I'm not saying that this is carved in stone, but it does make sense to me.

Good thing my lux has a splash guard, lol. I seriously can't believe that article.

people have been writing for many years that bongs don't get you as much thc as joints. i believe it. personal experience brought me to that conclusion a long time ago. i always get higher smoking an equal amount in a joint vs a bong.

the joint always wins! maybe it's a perception thing too.

this is to whoever said something like "it's commonsense: a bong gets you higher than a joint... no mythbusters needed". the reason that a bong gets you higher is because you're taking a bigger hit at once, rather than taking your time with it the way you would with a joint. i personally don't like the whole "kicked in the face" vibe I get from bongs, i'd rather chill with a joint.
as for the water filtering out THC, it makes sense that a good amount of THC is going to end up in the water along with the other cannabinoids and tar, so in the long run you're going to have to smoke more weed than you would with a joint.

LOL, this is almost as bad as when I convinced a youngin that if you drink the bong water you get high, I was just joking but before I knew it the sucker was about to sip it lol.

NASTY NASTY NASTY

Feel like brushing my teeth now

I love how every time a study comes out that makes weed look bad, there is always someone to automatically call the study bogus. PRICELESS!

Hey Srgt
I live soley on my little ten inch bong...a bubble here a bubble there.I get higher off it then say if I was to poke a jay.Two/tree hits on the little bubble and its all good!!And they are definately healthier for ya

It makes sense that bongs/waterpipes would be inefficient. Afterall, THC is an alcohol, so it has got to be at least somewhat hydrophillic

LOL,Hydrophyllic....yer anus is hydrophyllic!!THC may very well be insoluable in water there Houdini,thats why there hard to light all wet!!!The resulting smoke tho,has quite a few nasties that get filtered thru the water,pretty efficient to compared to no water!!Have you ever even smoked weed?I was wondering if they gave samples out at the academy or not,ya know for realism!!

My god, you are such a straight up dumba s s, kid..seriously....what a moron

haha one of the funniest quotes ever. this dude is a straight DUMB ASS

I thought saying equal of amounts of cannabis smoked in paper will give a stronger effect than in a bong was a lot funnier

 

[Mr.Rogers]

the study doesn't say it will give a stronger effect it just says you will have inhaled more thc and less tar by the time you are done smoking it.

what they don't mention is that if you took all that thc at once in one big bong hit it would get you higher than smoking it slowly in a joint.

 

[CanadianGrower]

I thinks its bull shit that bong water gets so nasty tar build up in bong. Water bongs are the shit!

Where's the study?

 

[Mr.Rogers]

it's on either the norml or maps website and i think that dude put a link to it on page 1 didn't he

 

[TRANKILOMAN]

isnt going to work everyday bad, but still we have to go every f..n day

 

[Stoner4Life]

So 'Evil Bong' was right all along???

 

[Relapse]

Using a water pipe with a mouthpiece less than 20cm from the water level can allow water vapor and water drops to enter the lungs.

Can someone explain to me the difference between inhaling water vapor from your bong and inhaling water vapor from a humidifier.

God this is a crazy thread.

The whole point in filtering through water is that most of the nasties are water soluble while THC has very low solubility in water. Have you ever tried to clean a dirty bong with just water? You would be there all day.

And if you're worried about losing THC why would you even use a joint... how much THC do you think you lose while the thing is burning and you're not hitting it compared to the tiny amount that gets dissolved into water.

The test was also done with NIDA supplied marijuana which is probably worse than Mexican dirt weed.

oh and someone said THC is an alcohol...
