Aluminum is in OTC antiperspirant... smoking is more likely to be a greater health hazard than potential aluminum dust.

Good point here...smoke from anything, including pot, is carcinogenic. Probably makes more sense to be worried about the potential cancer-causing smoke you're inhaling than the remote possibility that you might smoke a tiny speck of aluminum dust

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earths crust. It is the 3rd most abundant element after oxygen and silicon.
It is a common ingredient in anti-persperants and antacids. It is in the food you eat, and the water you drink. The average person consumes 5 -10 milligrams a day. As for toxicity, you'd have to consume around 15 grams if ingested. The only people at real risk for aluminum toxicity are people that work in smelting plants where it is processed and they are exposed to large quantities of fumes. Proper ventilation and filtration has eliminated this in modern plants. Aluminum oxidizes pretty quickly when exposed to oxygen. The oxide layer takes more heat to melt than the aluminum does. Your Bic lighter does not produce enough heat to melt aluminum, let alone the oxide layer. In short, it's not an issue

And any smoke has associated health risks. Smoking cannabis has associated health risks. That's a fact. Edibles is the safest way to consume cannabis.

"Lung scrubbing green resin" aside ( ), as has been stated numerous times, smoke by its very definition is carcinogenic. That means that yes, pot smoke could conceivably cause cancer as that is what carcinogenic means -- "cancer causing." Whether cannabinoids might have anti-carcinogenic or bronchodilating effects that could counter-act this is certainly up for debate, but let's call a spade a spade and stop hiding our heads in the sand. Do some legitimate research please, you're setting us all back with dumb shit like this. Folks like you who take a small truth and try to spin it into something it isn't do the legalization movement no favors and are a large part of why most intelligent, educated people still look at the majority of folks representing the movement as idiots. |
