Is using aluminum foil really that bad?

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by THEderz, Dec 20, 2012.

  1. Hello Folks,

    THEderz is here to inform you that I have been using aluminum foil in my quest to smoke the herb. My friend sold me a glass hookah so I have a legitimate piece but I still have to use aluminum foil to form the bowl because the clay or glass one that came with the hookah is to big to use.

    Advice please. I feel like if aluminum foil was really bad for you they wouldn't be able to use in real hookah bars. But i don't really know. I took three hits off this thing and am pretty darn stoned, if you know what I mean?
     
  2. It gives you alzheimer's...
     
  3. You can buy a spoon pipe for a 10$ at your lhs, the only people who smoke out of aluminum foils are people under 18.
     
  4. There has been a lot of debate about aluminum foil, i use in once in a while, but as long as your not smoking out of it all the time you will be fine.
     
  5. If you had read what he wrote you would have realized he is not looking for a pipe. Also just because you use foil does not make you under 18.
     
  6. Go to a Headshop and buy a bowl then, If 10 bucks is going to break the bank you must be underaged
     
  7. Use a rock for a screen or by a pack of screens?
     
  8. shit. I dont want that disease dammit. I'll use my stoner creativity and think of something.
     
  9. exactly, just use a little rock in each hole as a screen. used to work in a glass bowl in my buddies driveway, haha. but honestly as said before, I don't think using foil would hurt as long as you don't to often. but who knows. get a white owl, or pack of papers!
    happy toking!
     
  10. Thanks guys. I already know what I'm going to do. Thanks for your help
     
  11. Smoking aluminum doesn't give you Alzheimer's or release any dangerous fumes. This has been disproved time and time again, just make sure you get the thicker alluminum

    links? id love to see proff.
     
  13. I smoked out of aluminum foil once, it was a pain in the ass and stupid..I won't do it again
     
  14. i have never blazed out of aluminum foil becasue i find it gross looking because im smoking out of the same foil that i would be wrapping my sandwich in. aluminum foil also releases carcinogenics
     
  15. with the hookah are you talking about putting aluminium foil under the coal? if so that is what your meant to do. If your using a lighter and aluminium foil, once isnt going to do anything but youll be sure notice something using it everyday/often.
     
  16. GC, realize there's many "studies" that link everything to anything.

    There's many studies that link aluminum to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link marijuana to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link using canned food to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link Fluoride to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies Tumeric to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link our food to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link vaccines to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link that a wide variety of pharmaceuticals to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link lead to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link air pollution to Alzheimers.

    There's many studies that link pesticides to Alzheimers.

    Etc..

    These are the very first 3 studies that came up when I ran "aluminum alzheimer's" at Pub Med. All of them are December 2012- hot off the press!

    1. Mitoprotective effect of Centella asiatica against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity in rats: possible relevance to its anti-oxidant and anti-apoptosis mechanism Translation-The herb Centella asiatica protects the mitochondia in rat brains from damage done by aluminum: and it may act as an antioxidant and also stop brain cells from dying.

    2. Involvement of GSK3 and PP2A in ginsenoside Rb1's attenuation of aluminum-induced tau hyperphosphorylation starts off - "Environmental agent aluminum, a well-known neurotoxin, has been proposed to play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and produced clinical and pathological features which were strikingly similar to those seen in AD brain, such as neurofibrillary tangles."

    3. In NF-κB-regulated, proinflammatory miRNAs in Alzheimer's disease, they recommend limiting "exposure to the potent neurotoxin aluminum" as a way to possibly prevent Alzheimer's damage.

    So, does that answer your question?
