The bong no good and waste of money.......EROWID facts

[formula]

this has to be the 10th post on this same exact thing. And each and every time, the same responses. I agree that bongs are the best whether or not they "filter" THC.

Not science. BASIC laws of physics/chemistry. That of which could be figured out without research and just common sense nowadays.

Again, applying basic rules of physics/chemistry to real world applications(read: engineering). Plus, the engineering that goes into ROORs and PHX's isnt anything mindboggling, thats basic stuff. Try designing a robot or transmission from scratch....yea.

last i checked physics and chemisty were science, so saying its not is a total lie. give up. science is involved. and if its "nothing special" then why was phx designed by a USC Berkley engineering Grad student?

What the FUCK!!! everyone just needs to chill, slow down and take another hit. Why do people need to bring negativity to our culture. Who cares about the science of smoking weed. Is it about nit-picking about all the facts or having a good time. Seriously, who cares whether or not there is this or that. The fact is WE are all a big FAMILY. We all love each other and cannabis. Peace and love Blades, get over the fact that we don't see eye to eye, that's just human nature, see past that, see past propaganda, see past people telling us what to do when they never have smoked marijuana. Please people, respect each other.

Science in the real world is search for knowledge and answers, its the search for blackholes, the search for a cure to cancer, the search for forms of life in mars, thats real science. Not applying concepts to make products for people to consume. A real scientist would laugh in your face if you said what GM, Dell, or Toyota do, is science. And im not knocking engineering at all, thats my major, what i want to do for a living. But its just not science, or what scientists actually consider science. Your talking about what poeple think science is, but if you really look into it, youlle find that im right.

And so what if its made by a eng. grad student? If anything, that just goes to show you how easily it can be done, with some knowledge about physics, materials, and a drafting program, you can design and build yourself a triple percolator bong.

EDIT: Toned it down, i was a bit rude.

science is science. it either is or isnt. it doesnt make a difference if one issue is bigger than another. experiments that elementary school students do are science. they apply scientific knowledge.

if someone was riding a bike on a dirt trail in the woods, they are mountain biking. then there are people that mountain bike and jump their bikes off 50ft cliffs. now, applying your logic, the first person isnt mountain biking because the second person would think that its easy. WRONG. if the second person had any common sense, they would say the first person is also mountain biking, but not at the level that the second one is.

so, back to the main topic, this is science, just not as advanced as space travel or curing diseases.

Your not getting it, its not about whats bigger or more advanced, its about purpose. Science is a very old term, used very vaguely and without thought, which is why you believe what you do.

[infiniteawesome]

you guys have fallen into an argument that is being misinterpreted due to different semantics.

science is the basic investigation into various phenomena.

engineering is the basic application of science to commerce/industry.

You are both right.

Uh oh, i think im the first bong basher to post. I hate having to set up to smoke, joints for everrrr. I like to light it once

[Z_man_grower]

not trying to repeat , but bongs r the shit, i love nothing more than to enjoy the mellow yet hard hits of blunts, or the pure taste of weed through a joint, or glass pipe, but when it comes down to, "ive got weed and i wanna get wasted" i turn to the bong

[Thegivingtree]

a good bong rip will always come through in the end and there not "filthy" if you take care of them geez

[shroomtycoon]

I didn't read all the post so somone may have already said this but THC is not water soluble so I don't see how a bong would filter out any THC unless you put some fuckin cooking oil in there. I would think that it is only going to filter out water soluble chemicals. Just a thought I could be wrong

Couldn't rolling a joint be considered setup. I know I can load a bowl much faster than I can roll a joint.

[cheech17]

this whole thread is bullshit, one bong pack compared to one bowl pack gets me a hell of a lot higher. after smoking 1 whole bong pack im alllllllll set.

smoking joints should be the topic. wellll

1 joint typical unless you have small u know whats.. = 2 bong packs lets say .5-.7 thats stock size....
plus the paper...and most of the time you finish the joint, and roach.

morale of all this, F@#$ what they say you have one life to live and i love havin marijuana apart of it, smoke a joint and a bong for this thread...if you can

[asadmeow]

this thread wasnt saying that bongs dont get you higher...

they are talking about small percentages of thc and tar ratios..

everyone whos flipping out "OMFG I SMOKE BONGS AND I GET HIGH THIS STUDY IS FAKE"..... its not what its about mannnn
