bongs do a poor job of actually filtering out the harmful components of the smoke. they are better for simply cooling the smoke and trapping plant material before it makes it to your mouth. vaporizers actively reduce amounts of or even eliminate tar and other harmful compounds such as benzene and toluene. there are citations for both of those statements but I'm too lazy to find them. what it boils down to is that avoiding combustion (either by vaporizing or using edibles) is the best way to reduce amounts of any harmful chemicals and lower the carcinogenic risks when compared to smoking.
I'd say out of the two, joints. They may be drier, but if you look at the amount of weed you put into a cone/bowl and how quickly you consume it, I'd say much, if any of the heat reduction the water may provide is minimal. You're basically force feeding larger amounts of smoke (with less oxygen) into your lungs. I suppose with a joint you're more in control of that and getting more air along with it. Though honrstly, like this ^^^ dude says, avoid combustion if you want to do it "healthier".
Edibles are the healthiest way to consume weed I'm sure (tied with topicals and stuff like that). Then vaping. Then when it comes to smoking yeah water filtration does filter a small amount of carcinogens so that would be better than non water filtered. And with joints you're smoking the paper partially too. Not a huge deal with joints but with blunts that's tobacco so obviously the least healthy and same with spliffs using tobacco.
^ Edibles are the healthiest way imo, then vaping. I'm actually not too sure between joints and bongs, I'd just go with what the others have said on that.
Aside from all the other people who said switch your consumption method, I will answer your question. I would say that smoking from a bong is less harmful then smoking a joint. Note that I said ‘less harmful’. If you want to reduce your exposure to carcinogens but still want to burn, take a look at ‘MouthPeace’. Never tried it but seen a lot of good reviews about it. It has an activated carbon filter and claims to remove harmful substances and tar from smoke. What’s best is that if fits onto basically anything be it a bong, pipe, vape or joint. Hope that was helpful
What are you talking about ? what cancer causing chemicals ??? Mj doesn't have nicotine in it . as far as I know MJ doesn't cause cancer.....
I looked at a legit scientific study done in the 70's on this topic and it concluded that joints gave you less tar than a bong. I think that if you really smoke the roach down it kind of cancels this though.
I feel like George Burns then .. I started smoking weed in 1971 or 72 , I was smoking joints off the fantail of the destroyers escort I was stationed on when I was on off the coast of Nam in 1974 and 75 during the fall of Saigon .. I lost most of my left lung . I know MJ has cancer fighting chemical in it , I have never heard one person getting cancer from smoking weed . I figure i have smoked a semi load of weed . My lung or lungs are tested from time to time . All my doctors know I smoke weed . My lung or breathing capacity is actually improving or has improved by 15%.. I have never been able to smoke out of a bong and always smoked joints unless smoking extracts out a pipe that I made .
Holy cow! You fought in Vietnam? That's amazing, thank you for you service! Smoking weed back then must have been amazing. I wish I could say I've been around that long, I started smoking a good 30 years after that. And as a fellow artisan of wood paraphernalia I must say your work is really awesome. Is that a pool cue pipe in the middle? The cancer fighting properties is one of the top 3 best parts of weed. I honestly feel like the cancer argument is a net zero, or if you don't smoke it a complete positive. I feel like all the cancer fighting compounds conteract the carcinogenic qualities.
I was off the coast of Vietnam , during the fall of Saigon , on sub tracker . We were there to evacuate 6000 to 7000 US personal and consultants . What my ship did was pick up refugees. it wasn't considered combat . So no i never fought in Vietnam . We had a south Vietnamese helicopters full of civilians trying land on the back of our ship . We didn't have a helicopter landing pad on the back of our ship ( we were a sub tracker ) the sonar devise ( TASK ) AKA the noodle was were the helicopter landing pad would of been on most other ship but not on ours . One helicopter rotors struck the ship went trying to land and I got a small piece of metal in my left left calf. I got a blood clot in my left leg and didn't know it , my leg hurt super bad but the Hospital corpsman said i faking the injury and my leg went untreated.. two weeks later i am in really bad shape and we just steamed into pearl harbor . I went to the on base sick bay , they transferred me to Tripler army hospital were the blood clot broke loose and went through my heart and lodged my left lung .
Lol I actually did . I was thinking of buying it. But I’ll probably just get a replacement MFLB. edit: actually it was WeedGrowsOnTrees‘s post that piqued my interest.
