The costs associated with keeping minor drug offenders in lock up is mind boggling. What a waste of taxpayer money...

i totally agree. i'd like to see it nationally decriminalized before its developed as a GNP, taxed and sold. Lets see just how much money we save by not processing the stoner for 48 hours of lock up.

and i've been avoiding buying a vaporizer for year... well... not avoiding

i've just never been at a head shop with enough disposable income to justify buying it.

but i think if i'm gonna be a lifer, i might as well make the investment, if for anything else, my health. (and the fact that its the most potent way of getting THC into your system. something like 96% makes it into your system; 2nd best was bong at 67%)

sorry for the 2x post

honestly, it payed for itself in under a month, compared to a pipe you need like 1/8 for a vaporizer, plus no smoke saves the lungs, and they're just so convienient, they're portable, odorless, descrete ect

not sure where you read those figures...but i dont think they're entirely accurate....



according to the research papers ive read on it, the thc intake benefit is slightly higher than smoking....the primary reasons for using them are little to no smoke (when used properly) and the fact that not as much ""drifts away" so to speak...


if i ever go back to tweeds though, it'll be with a vapo


probably homemade though..(no not cheapo homemade, my roommate is a mechanical engineer working on his doctorate....think better than Volcano quality, and built for around $100 tops)

it was on an episode of mythbusters on TLC, or Discovery, or whatever educational network it comes on.

but, in all honesty, i could have heard the figures wrong. after all, i was high when i watched it

of all the studies i've looked at, that would definitely be the upper end of it. But very modestly speaking, by vaporizing instead of smoking, you are getting well over double the dose of the active ingredient...

i really would like to see these studies. because everything ive looked at shows vaporizers to be comparable and rarely better, let alone double. you dont lose as much due to breezy smoke and what not, but the actual thc you can get out of the same amount of bud is the same or slightly less than when combusted. so maybe your figures are based on the amount of "released" thc...in which case you would get almost all of it, because it doesn't drift away.

see here

however, it's worth it just for the reduction in cannabanoids and other toxins (and the efficiency with not losing smoke) in my opinion.

[greenlake]

oh who cares. smoke it or don't. if you're worried about inhaling toxins, wear a respirator at all times because the world is a filthy place. weed isn't any healthier than cigarettes, which aren't any healthier than inhaling any other burning dried plant. you're supposed to breathe oxygen. OXYGEN. not weed or tobacco or the interstate you live near or other people's farts but you're going to anyway. weed and cigarettes will damage your body and so will getting hit by a bus when you're 75 and bragging about how you lived a healthy safe life and look at you now and SPLAT OOPS FART YOU'RE DEAD A BUS HIT YOU.

and nobody's allowed to cite medical research they read, or pretend they read, or overheard someone unqualified saying it to win an argument, because this is a fake skateboarding messageboard. if i see you on mayoclinic.com we'll have that discussion.

[saunders420]

Well that's just not true. I'm pretty sure it's been proven that weed actually messes your lungs/throat up faster then cigarettes do, the only difference is that people smoke way more cigarettes then they do, say, joints. So, you're doing it less so it's not effecting you as fast. Unless you're smoking out of a vaporizer, if you smoke weed as much as the average smoker smokes cigarettes, you're lungs would be pretty messed up.

I'm not against legalization by the way, just saying.

if you read http://www.jackherer.com/chapter01.html that

history of cannabis hemp you'l find the word about marijuana and its risk and causes, what happens to your lungs when smoked,eaten, vapourized etc..... honestly it does seem farfetch'd
but also seems like another reasonable conspiracy to be kept hidden


and what strab said MODERATION
