Smoking weed for trace minerals

[Guest]

I just was wondering something...see if I can get any discussion on this.

If you grow your weed in such a way that your plant absorbs trace minerals from the soil... would you be able to get those trace minerals by smoking it?

Does it transfer that way?

I am no chemist but I'd have to go with a big no on this one, the minerals won't burn(Anyone and everyone feel free to chime in with book knowledge, If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know).

 

[Northern_Greens]

me neither, but i'm gonna go with a big NEGATORY.
from what i understand the whole chemical makeup of something changes when it is burned. New ones created and some used up...

i'm not 100% tho

hey i was thinking about this the other night. I kinda think you can get the minerals from the plant by smoking it but thats juss me. Every time after i smoke nice weed.. i seem to hav a glow to my skin...as if ive just taken vitamins and minerals etc. I feel refreshed when i wake up from smoking and feel nurished, and thats true. I think the minerals and vitamins would just change slightly in smoking form, but i think they still enter the body.

Thats just me.

peace

no, the body can absorb nutrients through, the skin, and through the digestive system. Anything getting into the blood stream through any other method is cleaned out of it. Some drugs use the lungs as a delivery system, but they normally act upon the lungs directly, through contact, and are absorbed into the lining of the lungs. Drugs like thc, nicotine, etc, act directly on the brain, again through absorbtion, before being cleaned out of the body. But the effects of these drugs are those of the system realising that it is being poisoned and reacting, or it's natural processes being stimulated, regulated, or inhibited by the pressence of the poison (foriegn substance). In order to absorb and use nutrients, the body is designed to digest these nutrients or substances containing them. You could of course eat your weed. Just grind it up once dried and add it to your flour when baking etc. This would allow your body to absorb and use any nutrients in your buds. Most peeps only use the trichs though so dont get any benefit from the green matter. I wonder what size portion would contribute to your 5 a day.

... Crack babies these days. If smoking makes you feel so nourished why dont you go smoke a meal.

Can anyone give me any links on this?
I would think, that if indeed the lungs COULD absorb this stuff, especially trace minerals, then it could be the fastest way to get the trace minerals in you.

Kinda like foliar spraying kelp (has tons of trace minerals) on your plants.

You must have been really baked when you thought this up Indicad2006

I highly doubt that you can absord minerals and vitamins through burning them and inhaling the smoke. Although that would be a sweet way to take them lol

Eating it on the other hand...I'd imagine you would get most if not all of the goodness you put into your buds if you ingested them orally.

No.....sorry

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the input, but please show me proof if your going to post anything. Proof that it wouldn't or would work.

If you can vaporize a thc molecule, then why can't you vaporize another organic molecule? I just doubt the -only- molecule you are getting when you smoke is thc. Your getting alot more than that.

Maybe I need to do my own research...

 

[mangled]

your getting a lot of other shit, but NOT vitamins lol

 

[diggle]

Not gonna work....when you burn herb you are only getting some of the THC, burning it destroys the rest. The minerals either wouldn't burn or would be broken down into their base elements through combustion.....

When lungs turn into intestines maybe you'll have a fighting chance.

Do they teach kids in high school anymore?

 

[Guest]

Well if trace minerals would break down into base elements when burned, why wouldn't THC?

The same temperature is applied to it....

What I'm trying to figure out here is... that it may be somewhat healthy to smoke (if your weed was grown in trace mineral rich soil), as a way to GET those trace minerals.

Obviously there are other ways.

But I'm curious what all gets vaporized during combustion....

So far no one has proven either way.

Verite - trust me a high school teacher wouldn't know this. Even a college professor. Don't be so quick to write.

 

[Hunt4Hazez]

Simple fact: The lungs are designed to extract oxygen from the air, dispense it to the blood. The fact that you can burn nicotine, thc and other drugs and inhale them is a simple fact that you change the compisition and inhale it. Vitamins and minerals cannot be transmitted via the lungs into the blood stream. Mabey some technology far from now may possibly allow this but by no means can you fucking smoke trace minerals u retard.

 

[Verite]

Dont be so quick to blow off your high school education.

Basic high school biology. Vitamins, trace elements and protein are injested thru the intestines. Intestines were made to function as such, processing solids like trace elements. Lungs function on taking a gas and processing it thru the bloodstream again basic high school biology. What part of biology dont you understand? That different organs process different things or that burning a protein doesnt magically create base elements you can process thru your lungs and bloodstream?

I posted this thread, to try to see if anyone with an open mind, and a smart mind, could give me a valid discussion.

Hunt, you just posted nonsense. Telling me and everyone else what we ALREADY know. That we can inhale things, even oxygen. Wow, really? Gosh I didn't know that!

Thanks for calling me a retard. Now leave my thread.

Verite - Lungs can inhale gases. But what about inhaling other chemicals? What exactly happens to THC when its burned...basically what form is it in when it enters the lungs? It seems it would be still in a complex molecule, so that says the lungs can inhale some other things...

The question is do trace minerals somehow get vaporized into a gaseous state.

I guess I will have to keep fighting until someone can prove me wrong. So give me a website link that tells me why this CANNOT happen.

 

[Verite]

Far be it from me to keep you from running around sounding foolish. Sounds like a full time job with zero pay or benefits... I already got one of those.

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

indicad2006's question is valid imo. i don't really know whether it is possible to absorb trace minerals through smoking; however, what he is pointing out is that since we can absorb many other things through our lungs (thc/cannabinoids, nicotine, cocaine, opiates, etc...) that maybe it is possible that other things are also absorbed through the lungs. who can prove him right or wrong though? that is the question. perhaps doing a search on experimental gases made to allow people to absorb minerals and vitamins through the lungs?

peace

The body needs to process things in order to be able to use them. The lungs are meant to process oxygen, The stomach food. If you want to perform an experiment, hold your breath and start to swallow. If you can breath that way, then try smoking your lunch.
