Several cigarettes filters contain carbon in their filters to filter out impurities, without filtering out nicotine due to carbon’s chemical properties. My idea would be to place pieces of charcoal at the bottom of a smoking bong to filter out cancer causing agents. However, I have heard that inhaling charcoal granulates can be harmful to the lungs.

I don’t like cigarettes, so I smoke tobacco with a bong.

In places where smoking is allowed would it be cool for me to pull out the bong and smoke a couple of bowls after a nice dinner?

I want to try smoking marijuana. I have mild asthma but have smoked cigarettes before and was fine. What are the chances of being allergic to weed, and, if I am, what are the symptoms like? Is it worth taking the chance?

parents are gone for the weekend.. i’ve got a stash of weed and some friends coming over and i’m tryna get fncked uppp =] all i smoke are cigarettes and joints. my sis is home from college and brought her bowl and her bong. do they give you a better high? xoxo

How bad is marijuana for you? I’ve heard a lot of different things…Some say marijuana is worse than cigarettes…some say cigarettes are worse than marijuana…and some believe marijuana is supposedly good for you…?

I want to know because these days a lot of people do it. So thats why I’m wondering.
Also I heard it helps you not get cancer

So smoke marijuana is safer than cigarettes?

I would never do drugs. I have never even smoked cigarettes. I drink very very rarely — maybe once in a few months. But I would like to know how people who take meth feel. Do they feel similar to when you are drunk? What are some of the things that happen to you?

First off, say what you want about how "bad" it is, or "omg dont do that you’re gonna die!". The true hippies are the ones who freak out about weed and get angry because people do it and whatnot. Sorry for the vulgar remark but its true, and honestly I myself was like that. I’ve been taught since I was in kindergarten about how bad marijuana is. All of those "weed kills" videos and stuff. I’ve been 100% against weed until this past year. It all started from being exposed to it, and being the only one at the party who was freaking out about it. I pretty much spent the whole party going "OMFG THERES WEED!! I think im gonna leave so i dont get in trouble or get any second hand smoke in my system". Then after enoguh parties I realized its not that bad. Then one day I even said fuck it, and asked my friend if i can try some of his. It was great! I looked online and researched into it and was very surprised by what I found.

First off I will point out the negatives, and yes there are negatives. Obviously it being illegal is a negative. Other than that though the negative health wise is that it does more harm on your lungs than cigarettes. This is true because the longer you hold the smoke in, the more THC gets absorbed, hence the higher you get. Practically everyone who smokes weed knows this already because its how you get high.

DID YOU KNOW
There was never a reported case of death that was caused by Marijuana? This means no one has ever died from smoking/eating/vaporizing too much marijuana in one sitting.
Think I’m full of crap? Check these out.

Even though people cant die or overdose on Marijuana, the altered mind can cause the person to do something that risks their life. Someone could get high to the point where they are so determined to do something that is impossible, like flying when you jump off the roof. They don’t think "what if i can get hurt or killed", they just think of what they are going to do after. So in turn they kill themselves from falling off a roof. I know it sounds a bit extreme, but it can happen. Actually, even though it may never happen im just exaggerating the death risks of weed just for those of you reading who still think marijuana is the "Anti-Christ", I’ll have you craving your first toke by the end of this little story. Anyway, in all seriousness, the true major death risk of Marijuana is driving high. You can easily lose consciousness of what you are doing and end up hitting something, or even worse, someone. This risk if you haven’t noticed, is actually the same risk as drinking. Driving drunk is actually more dangerous than driving high. A drunk driver drives as fast, and wherever they want. If they get pulled over they don’t care if its a cop, they’ll say what they want, and get pissed when they want. A person driving high, even high as HELL, usually thinks every single car around them is a cop. They think that you can get pulled over for driving even a mile over the speed limit. They drive with a wave of going from left to right but exactly in the lane. And they practically shit themselves if they find themselves in the view of a cop. The only cop lights people who are high while driving usually see are the ones from the officer who doesn’t care how you are driving, they just got the call from headquarters to report to a crime scene, and they just happened to be behind your car when it happens, so it appears at first you are getting pulled over. Someone may even pull over thinking they are getting pulled over, and remain there all night thinking that the cop is trying to trick them so he can charge them for evading arrest as well. In fact, people who are crazy drivers actually calm down a bit and pay attention when high, so they actually drive better under the influence of weed.

Now a question I once asked myself was
"Why would marijuana be used medically if it is bad for you?"

The answer i found was that medical marijuana is delivered using vaporizers. This machine heats the weed to the exact degree that the THC turns into air vapor, so all you get when you breathe it in is THC. Then I came across various sites explaining how THC actually reduces the size of cancer tumors, and actually prevents new ones from forming. Did I mention these vaporizers are available to the public, being listed as "Herbal Vaporizers". Also if THC and Cancer dont mix, i would think when one smokes from a joint or bong, the THC and toxins even out to the same rate or less than cigarette smoking. So smoking Cigarettes is legal and prevents cancer, yet Marijuana is illegal, does less harm to your lungs, and even prevents and removes cancerous material. Here are some sites regarding that.

Actually the mental disorder theory has been disproven. MRI’s of the brain and studies show absolutely nod ifference between a smoker and non smoker. The reason smokers may seem to be slow, theyre actually just always high. The high effects of weed can last a few days, then the depression comes on so they smoke again and are high for another few days. After a few weeks they’ll be as mentally healthy as they were before they ever tried it.
There are products in stores, like cleaners or paint, anything really, that if consumed can cause you to die, or get brain damage. Weed is so much safer than half of the products on the market. Why arent they illegal if they are more deadly than weed?
You can overdose on alcohol if you drink too much. Its called aclohol poisoning. Once you’re drunk you have no control over how much more you drink. Weed is another story. And as for peer pressure, i said i made the choice because first off, i was curious. Second, i was accepting the risks. Third, no one asked me to try it. Maybe it is you who is peer pressured. You’re telling me that weed is worse than drinking because it is a drug. Because you were told weed kills, when in fact there is not one death caused from too much use of weed in one sitting or over a long period of time. And that is zero deaths. Compare that to the hundreds of alcohol related deaths, such as over drinking of liver/kidney damage.

So Marijuana actually treats and prevents alzheimers? wow!
To assure you I am not bullshitting here is FOX News.

Which plant is harder for the federal government to control the spread and growth of. Tobacco in my opinion is a much harder and dangerous plant to grow and that’s why you buy cigarettes. Marijuana is a plant any body can grow but take a select few with that green thumb to get them right. So could that be a reason the feds dont want marijuana legal its to easy to grow.

-smoking a lot of weed doesn’t make you lazy, lazy people smoke a lot of weed. I have a 4.0 and a 2030 (1360) sat, and will go to college next year. That is a lot better than plenty of people i know who don’t smoke.
-nobody has actually died from overdosing on it
-it is much safer than alcohol
-there are virtually no negative health affects when using a vaporizer, very few when using a bong, and effects comparable to those of cigarettes when smoking it regularly
-the bible says nothing about marijuana, nor does it say that it makes you a bad person / people who use it are bad people
-use of domestically grown industrial hemp would definitely help the economy (paper, clothing, rope, etc.)
Bill D, i would like to know what your high school gpa and sat were, and where you went to college (if you did), then look at my scores and judge how messed up my head is
J, the actual reason for prohibiting the drug in the first place was racism against mexicans and black people, know your history before you judge
suigener…, over 60% of american people that graduated high school admit to have using marijuana. are 60% of americans schizophrenic? What about the millions dead from alcohol, but im sure your right about something you obviously know nothing about… weed causes rare diseases
RomeyM, duh it messes up peoples lives, but only because its illegal, why should it be illegal, and by the way, short term memory loss only affects you while you are high
to all the other ignorant idiots crying "brain damage" or "it kills your braincells", there is no documented history of anyone actually dying or going crazy due to marijuana consumption. the only reason people’s lives get messed up is because they get arrested and thrown in jail with violent criminals, making them violent, and ruining their future
