Brain damage from plastic fumes?

Most likely brain damage already has been done but stop smoking plastic and itll make it better

 

Your OK, your just freaking yourself out it sounds like to me.

 

you've damaged your brain forsure dude. smoke plastic again and you might become retarded . you should probably go to the pharmacy and ask if they have any medicine to reverse the effects of smoking plastic

 

my moms a nurse and her boyfriend a brain surgeon, just confirmed after just three medium sized hits your brain has definately taken a miminal amount of damage . your fucked dood

 

fuck mike, he's bullshitting you. You're fine.

 

Ive been without a piece many nights, had to use some good old stoner ingenuity. Used plastic foil the whole works, I will say it can cause harm but only if done on a daily bassis. If you use foil make sure its always shiny side down, and as far as plastics go if you have to use them melt your stem and carb holes and rinse it well enough to ensure the gasses that the melting plastic releases are out of the container if you can taste melted plastic more than bud its probably for the best just to toss it. I don't reccomend smoking from plastic but sometimes it just has to be done for the sake of getting high.

 

ive had my share of rips where there was accidently plastic in there and im not brain dead yet so you should be okay

 

[quote name='"limehead"']Hey guys.

So, I'd like to preface this by requesting that you don't call me stupid or make comments like "this is natural selection" or anything like that. I realize it was a bad idea, so please don't comment that as it doesn't contribute anything.

So, the other day a few friends and I fashioned a grav bong. I've never made one of these before, and being already high and careless we used two pretty dangerous materials - aluminum foil and plastic.

I hit it three times, and didn't notie any burn marks on the foil or the plastic neck. If anything, only slight melting on the plastic. The aluminum foil never got too hot to touch, the lighter was only on the weed but I assume there was some conductive heat melting the plastic and contributing some toxins to the smoke.

It's been a few days, and I still feel kind of weird. I'm prone to anxiety like this, but I definitely feel "odd." Lightheaded, tired, hard to focus my eyes, generally just feeling mentally cloudy. But mostly, I've just been anxious. Hard to get this off my mind ever. I haven't smoked since.

So, do you guys think there's any chance at all that I inhaled a significant enough amount of plastic/aluminum foil fumes that I may have actually impacted my brain? Any chance I could get brain damage from just three uses of the grav bong? Or is this just my borderline hypochondria acting up?

I'd love to read what you have to say, thanks in advance.[/quote]

It's probably just a placebo effect. Or it could be due to lack of sleep. I would smoke again, except use glass.

Yeah. I think it is. It's still affecting me though, which is frustrating but I'm trying to forget about it.[/quote]

Just try smoking again, after you come down you'll forget about the feeling and realize that it's just a placebo effect.

And stick to glass.

 

Those hits probably didn't had any impacts on your brain. I think it's ok as long as you don't torch the foil and/or overly melt the plastic.

 

dont worry much about it. i plasticed my smoke much and im fine to be turned out

 

My cousin took rips and inhaled plastic hes all herp derp now from the fumes doc said it olny took a couple hit or 2 microns of plastic adhesive which you had, call your doctor NOW AND TELL HIM WAHR YOU DID

 

I was smoking with my friend and we were using a normal lighter but a tiny little of the plastic on the gb melted, he was feeling just like you described and went to get scans and they found little pieces of plastic in his lungs. I'd get it checked out.

 

Yes I do. It is call lyc plastlicrisiousus basically what happened is the heated toxins in the inexpensive plastic have now entered your blood stream and while being routed to your brain will connect to your dendrites. which are like bridges connecting the neurons in your brain.These toxins resolidify and cause blockages between the dendrites and neuron communicating, often causing any of a number of negative side effects. You need to see a Dr. asap. You are screwed buddy. the normal treatment runs for 6 months and the cost varies, but anywhere from $600-$1000 per month for the Rx you will take once a month. Hope this helped.
