Ok i wasn't sure quite where to post this question but figured this would be the best forum with the brainiest people. I just want peoples thoughts on the matter ...
Now as a young teenager i experimented with solvents ... butane gas and shoe conditioner (lady esquire). Luckily for me this was just a brief flirtation. However, often when i smell freshly dried cannabis, i get a whiff of those oils and turpenes and i think "solvents" (because they are!).
So i was talking to someone earlier today about how some people really don't get along with cannabis and it messes them up (yes they smoke way too mutch and do nothing else), but i realised that most, if not all commercial skunk is freshly dried and sold as quickly as possible, so all those oils and turpenes particularly are in a fresh form and have not had a chance to degrade. Now i know absolutely nothing about what happens to these things when they degrade, but i can see how smoking fresh skunk is a bit like burning solvents and inhaling the fumes. And so i speculated .... what if all the skunk people smoked was nicely cured? Can we attribute any negative physical or mental health symptoms to this smoking of solvents? Is cured cannabis a healthier form of cannabis? Are the solvents in freshly dried cannabis messing with our heads?
Any thoughts are appreciated!
