    hey just a collection of myths iv heard of feel free to comment on them and add some i havent mentioned.



    -Bongs reduce thc intake due to the thc sticking in the water.

    -plastic bags produce static cling and remove much of the thc content in your weed

    -smoking from aluminum is harmfull for the body as it may lead to alzhimers. (think about this one aluminums melting point is 1200 degrees, a lighter cant get that hot)

    -smoking weed is good for the eyes.

    -smoking weed increases creativity.

    -smoking weed creates a lack of motivation.



    all the other ones i know of have already been proven.

    The bong one is 100% false.
    Smoking weed is good for the eyes, one of the first medical applications for marijuana was in the treatment of glaucoma patients.

    The creativity one is really a toss up because it depends on not only the genetics of the bud, but also the mind of the user.

    Aluminum I can almost guarantee is not the ONLY ingredient in the making of tin foil.

    Other things involved will cause cancer.

    If you smoke weed you will do heroin.

    -Bongs reduce thc intake due to the thc sticking in the water.
    That can be true, even if it is, the loss of thc in water are so minimal that it is insignificant, and will not affect your high negatively.

    -plastic bags produce static cling and remove much of the thc content in your weed
    I don't know about that but i do hate putting dank weed into the bag because I'll lose all of the trichromes on it

    -smoking from aluminum is harmfull for the body as it may lead to alzhimers. (think about this one aluminums melting point is 1200 degrees, a lighter cant get that hot)
    It's never proven but it is possible, I only uses it as screen when I don't have any screen.

    -smoking weed is good for the eyes.
    Yes, it is, your eye getting red is good for your eye, I forgot why though.

    -smoking weed increases creativity.
    It varies with person probably but overall, I'd say it does make you more creative, I know it make me creative :smoke:
    -smoking weed creates a lack of motivation.
    I did lose motivation when I first started toking but after 3 months, I got motivated like I was before I first smoked.
