HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD TO GIVE UP BONGS ?

[#1cheesebuds]

Im thinking I might have to take a brake from smoking herbs for a good while cuz of my lung pain. or buy a good vaporizer and also cut back even still.

I don't smoke bongs and only smoke Js every once in a while. I have been smoking for 18 years and like 3 to 4 bowls every day. now my lungs are paying the price.

I do ride my bike 4 to 5 days every week. and I need to get back to working out every day of each year and that might help a little bit with my lungs.

I was thing of taking some time in the summer to ride my road bike from my city to another city which is 3 hours away by car.
but I would have to do it with a big group of ppl so I could have medical support along the way.

OK so 12 midnight tonight will be my 3ed day of not smoking my buds. I got me a calendar to help me track my progress.

my plan is to not take even one hit until Christmas. which is gunna be really hard cuz I love to smoke everyday and have a lot of buds on hand and have a lady that's about to get harvested in a few weeks.

I been smoking 4-5 bowls every day for the past 14 years with out one break ever. so its time for me to take a long smoke break for the health of my lungs.

I plan to workout at least 4-5 days each week. so my body can get back its strength and good health.

Okay well let's see on the 9th you had 3 days and now it's the 2nd of the next month so you should be at almost 1 month. How's it going? For me the hardest part is the first week or two but after that it seems to be fairly easy. Of course in my case it's always been a no choice situation, I was sober because I had nothing not even resin in an old pipe to smoke. I imagine it's somewhat harder when you have a jar or multiple jars of nicely trimmed and cured bud to get into whenever the urge strikes.

I got a ball attachment for carbon granules that goes under the bowl and it makes a HUGE difference. The bong and water stay clean much longer than without filtering which means a lot less tar makes it's way through. Still doesn't make smoking healthy, but my lungs feel so much better already. And carbon is dirt cheap.

I can only properly medicate with my bong. When I go outside and use the pipe I can feel I'm not getting the same medication I would with the bong. Now I stay home a lot.

Only once.........Fuck that pig!

If you drink water your lungs will dissipate more heat during the toking process.

You can suck on a menthol cough drop. I have proven this to be effective to take bigger hits that don't hurt.

Understand you might not be doing as much damage to your lungs as your lungs are trying to tell you, so sometimes it really does work to mind over matter things.

I love bongs. Always have.

Now, my bong is partnered with a vape.

There's something very satisfying about slowly filling up the chamber, and then releasing the carb / pulling the bowl and inhaling that huge plume of smoke / vapor.

If it's the combusted material that concerns you, try running a vape hose to the stem of your bong. Works like a champ, and it's an easy way to keep your bong in the game without worrying about combusted plant gunk interfering with your lungs.
