I have called the people that believe that inhaling the biproducts of combusting the marijuana flower is not bad for your lungs holy marijuana believers for decades. I now add to that the people that believe that vaporizing marijuana flowers causes no resin build up in your lungs being holy marijuana believers as well. Face it your lungs are designed to breath in air. Not smoke and not cannabinoids. You can see some resin build up in stem or whip or bag used for vaping. You have to realize that there is far more of this building up in your lungs. That can't be healthy. Vaping is much much better than smoking but if you believe vaping marijuana flowers does not impede lung function in anyway you are holy marijuana. I know many of you are holy marijuana and will condemn me and that is fine.
You also cough up the resin, unlike with tobacco resin which stays there forever poisoning you. So yea, your lungs will res up a little, then next time you start coughing, you cough it all up.
So you belong to the church of the holy marijuana. Cool. You cough up phlegm when smoking tobacco too. Both deposit resin in your lungs. Smoking deposits more than vaping but you get resin in your lungs even with vaping.
It depends on what the resin is that collects from good quality vaporizers is made of. If it is just cannabinoids, it might just be absorbed in the lungs since it is in thin layers and some is getting absorbed anyway which is why you get high... If its tar and ash then it probably does stick in there possibly permanently idk how that works. Just a thought.
No I know the science behind it. And I didnt say phlegm. Resin from Cannabis WILL NOT stay in your lungs, THC paralyzes the cilia, causing whats stuck to them, to fall off (aka resin).
Even if the cannabinoids are all absorbed in your lungs that can't be healthy. If you think inhaling anything in your lungs other than air is healthy you belong to the church of the holy marijuana. Praise be to the pot.
That is not science that is wishful thinking thought up by the church of the holy marijuana. Show me a non-Hightimes type link to support this.
I got the cilia part wrong, but nonetheless, the science is firmly on marijuana's http://www.inquisitr.com/179549/smoking-marijuana-is-good-for-your-lungs-recent-study/
Well whatever it does, I certainly enjoy the effects. And whatever its done to me, it doesn't matter. Gotta live a little in this life and might as well enjoy yourself. Besides, I'm probably getting worse effects from just walking on the sidewalk breathing in exhaust fumes, or smog. And hell, according to the media, an active shooter situation could happen at anytime anywhere.... I think a little resin in my lungs is not so bad.
... and btw, THIS is certainly different from the run of the mill "what portable should I get?" threads.... thanks!
If you "absorb" it into your lungs then it would go into your bloodstream and quickly be out of your lungs. Thats how you get effects in your body and brain. So what matters mainly is, 1: is the stuff carcinogenic or otherwise toxic? and 2: Is the stuff getting absorbed or is it building up on the lungs. (cannabinoids that normally get absorbed, or tar/ash)? I'm not saying its good for you. Just putting out an idea. However, overdoing anything is generally bad for you, so it would probably require moderation either way, which would make sense.
Yes I am aware of the studies that have found that INFREQUENT USE of cannabis may improve lung function because you are using your lungs but that crap about coughing up all the bad stuff is total church of the holy marijuana propaganda. I have been laughing at that for years. These studies say INFREQUENT USE, meaning people that use it like once a week, not all day everyday vapers like me. Inhaling anything in your lungs other than air long term is not healthy. Saying it is reveals that you belong to the church of the holy marijuana. There are millions of members of that church.
well ive smoked for 18yrs and get monthly checkups and blood work as well as stress tests sometimes and every time my lungs sound great and my lung function is normal...98% oxygen in my blood also...call it what you will
Yeah, I love answering those too though, but yeah I thought we could use a different topic of discussion. I always have a good time telling people they belong to the church of the holy marijuana. All pot users belong to that church really or we wouldn't keep using the sacred herb. Oh I love how marijuana feels when that shit is absorbed into my lungs. Knowing it causes some damage doesn't stop me or even slow me down. So I too belong to the church, I am just not a real good believer. Kind of like a Christian that gambles and lies and shit I guess. Yeah that is pretty much all I am saying. Vaporizing marijuana once or twice a week is probably fine for you. But hitting the Underdog all day everyday can't be healthy for me. I love doing it and won't stop until I'm dead but I don't kid myself I am sure it isn't good for me.
I am 40 and I have been vaping for one year and smoked for around 26 years before that and my lungs too are in great shape. I am not saying it causes smokers lung or lung cancer. I just don't fool myself into thinking that inhaling vapor into my lungs from my Underdog vape for 16+ hours a day is good for me. I know it is not. I still run everyday and I am the fastest guy on my beer league softball team at 40 years old so I know it doesn't totally kill you lungs either. But if you believe inhaling massive amounts of anything but air into your lungs is healthy you belong to the church of the holy marijuana. It is a pretty great church to belong to. The only church I know of where you can hook up weed.
I have to correct myself there. I used to buy weed from a guy at the Presbyterian church I went to back in Iowa. He grew really good bud and sold it cheap so I can't say it is the only church where you can hook up weed. I am sure you can hook up weed pretty easily at any church.
I dont think anyone thinks its healthy just not that bad...i use a bowl too should probably switch to a bong..not big on vaping unless its dabs
I don't think water really filters out any carbons or anything it just cools down the smoke making the hit feel smoother. I don't think smoking marijuana is as bad as smoking cigarettes, but inhaling the biproducts of combustion can't be healthy if you are using it everyday for years I am sure it is unhealthy. I don't think it will give you cancer or give you serious lung issues like emphysema, it just can't be healthy. Yes many people tell me everyday that smoking marijuana is good for you.
