Anyone else tired of smoking?

[Danksta]

Disagree. Where's proof that smoking pot is unhealthy AT ALL? Any cases of lung cancer, emphysema, runny nose?

Whoa this is news to me and sounds fairly inaccurate.
Burning plant matter, any type, and inhaling is unhealthy. The substance undergoes radical chemical change and releases gasses, tar, oil some of which are carcinogenic.

Proof is in me coughing up pure black tar over a year of a 'healthy' ounce a week bong habit. If I kept that shit up, I would have major health problems.

Ignorance is bliss I guess...

Sounds like youve become too good for us. Maybe youve spoiled yourself silly.

Thats the beautiful thing about freedom, if you dont feel like smoking, then you dont have to.

That is why I only vape. Stopped coughing up black stuff, a few days after I got the arizer vape. The one thing that took getting used to, was throwing out unburned weed (that had no potency left, after vaping).

An ounce a week that's like, what, 4 fat joints a day? My homie smokes 40 ciggs a day he'll probably have copd when he's 50. You think I'll live long enough to get it smoking 4 joints?? Not saying its good for you but I don't think most of us will smoke enough for it to be bad.

Vaping dries me right up. I have never had the hour long coughing fits I've had from trying to vape. I don't get nearly the flavor profile either.. its very medicine-y tasting. I tried.. I wanted to like it.. but its just not for me.

I seem to hardly smoke at all unless other growers are around, then you can't roll 'em fast enough.

I think its a tolerance thing. I was away for a couple of weeks in the summer without herb and when I came back I really enjoyed the first day back puff. I used to have a regime of just smokin on a friday night that was the best deal, then it was twice a week, then very second day, now its like every evening and a one day break per week. I had about a 15 yr break from herb until about 4 yrs ago when I started growin a few plants and discovered the various strains etc. tbh If I didnt have my own strains I wouldnt bother with the crap you get in the UK for example. Cant beleive how much my friend pays for this soapbar crap in England, really poor.

Variety is the greatest spice, life has to offer ..

Only, wives seem not to care about hearing this fact too often

 

[Grow Tech]

...snip..

do not go to oils lool. better off taking a tolerance break.. lol.. or growing some better weed because in reality. the oils just raise your tolerance especially if your dabbing..

stick to smoking and edibles lol. that's the way to roll..

I think this is the ticket for me. It's not the genetics I have...cuz i have access to some of.the finest..it's me and my neglecting my garden. Life seems full of competing priorities. I know that I enjoy smoking the best of the best that I grow. Part of my love for growing is pheno hunting. It turns out I'm just really picky about what I want to burn. Since I have very limited space these 2 things are at odds with each other.
I'm also at the point that anything but a joint makes me cough. The doctor always says my lungs sound good but I'm likely to cough if I hit anything out of glass. A little choke isn't a bad thing necessarily but too often I go into snot inducing coughing fits...not sexy
I've also blown my tolerance sky high by daily use of edibles. I'm a med patient for pain so there is a bit of justification but it makes smoking to get high kind of a challenge. If I don't have something really tasty twisted in to a fat one..I get bored and feel like I'm licking an ashtray.
I thank the SDF crew past & present for taking me from brick weed to the point that I only check out seed companies out of curiosity. ..not lust

Maybe there's something else wrong with YOU. I been smoking daily for over FORTY years, never kicked up any black loogies. Just cause you get sick from smoking, doesn't mean anybody else does, so that's not really proof.

And how come the media's not reporting all these health problems? There's plenty of bias against cannabis, you would think they'd use "the truth" as ammunition, since they're so willing to use lies.

 

[MrBungle]

if you are coughing from smoking on glass it aint the glass bowls fault its cause you are sensitive to the byproducts of combustion from a butane lighter..... if I'm smoking a bowl I use hemp wick.... no butane, burns cooler, and organic.. it doesnt burn my throat like when I used a lighter

bless your heart. i wouldn't wish this on anyone. and i'm not blaming cannabis as a cause.

smoking only irritates copd, which i'm sure is a result of cigarette smoking for FORTY years.

so yeah, something wrong with me (and others), kind of you to point that out...

it may just be the HEAT from combustion that causes the irritation as i also get bad cough from hitting a nail (vaporizing, as others attest).

when you hack black and spit lungchunks it sort of makes inbibing less enjoyable, so thank your lucky charms you haven't that going on.

 

[Jellyfish]

Okay, you kind of asked for that, criticizing cannabis smoking on a cannabis forum. Sorry to hear about your health problems. Namaste.

 

[waveguide]

listen buddy i smoke three pounds every five seconds, and i'm not gonig to tell you if an occasional dukes of hazzard gets in my lungs for doing donuts.

it's my goddamn right to eat hamburgers on the toilet.

seen this thread before? sure have.

 

[Kozmo]

Hell NO! My daddy smoked, his daddy smoked, and I aint stoppn till they pry this corn cob from my dead fingers!

 

[draz]

I'd 2nd or 3rd the idea of switching to a vape.

The big problem I see is people are using mediocre vapes and therefore get mediocre results. I use a VapeXhale Evo, bong like hits but oh so much tastier.

Oh fuck off, who even asked ya?
*If you have anything legitimate to add to the conversation, like proof that smoking marijuana is harmful, let's hear it. If this thread is so beneath you, feel free to go find one that suits you better.

I replied to this thread some other time and I am not even game to go reread my post.
I might have crossed the line, nothing to serious, just poking around.

To be frank with you, I am tired of smoking atm too, but me it's because the ganja I have at the moment (ppp or pure power plant), I am a bit tired of it, that fricken peppery smell and taste. The high, it goes from euphoric to lazy suddenly. There is a big trend over here, a lot of people grow this strain around here. It's really not the end of the world, the herb is nice, but it dries pretty quickly, I guess I should just rehydrate it with the stone I bought.

Over here its kush (sometimes purple, sometimes afghan, rarely bubba) but the last few weeks its been only ppp. Usually we have the choice of a high and a stone. There used to be more variety also, sour diesel, jean guy (well it was mainly these two or ppp) and some kush.

It reminds me couple weeks ago I only had kush left for two weeks. At the end I was sort of lazy and just stoned all the time. Before that I had both and it balanced really well, i was high in the day and stoned at night. And on occasion if I wanted to get wild I would be high at night.

Those herbs are in the affordable range, their not always bland, its just the ppp that is, its really a commercial strain that one imho, a sativa-er version of beasters.

If I would like some west coast stuff/high calibre I can expect to pay 1/3 to 1/2 more on a half oz.

Thats what im gonna do next time if my buddy tells me he only has the pp.
no matter how cheap it is... Well if it was cheaper I would just roll big cigars of it... But even then, I find the strain to be lacking a bit.
