    I believe that drinking or injesting green tea, or some other kind of antioxidant drink/pill/powder, etc. immediately after injesting herb, or some plant(such as lions tail, morning glories, lotus flowers, etc) will help reduce the bad effects from drugs. it will work fast, and i believe after smoking herb...in terms of negative effect(s), you probably would have the highest amount of free radicals immediately after smoking.. The reason to drink the green tea shortly after, I hypothesize, would be to kill free radicals from the hot smoke entering the body, and from smoking plants with Thousands of chemicals. Not to mention any pesticides that people who are greedy for $ ( who isn't greedy by the way???) who will put them in their plants to make extra profit.


    My prediction is that drinking antioxidant tea can only help. After years of use , of say MJ ,. .. . I think a person who smoked for 5 years and injested green tea almost immediately after vs. somebody who smokes and didn't drink green tea or took antioxidants after smokin'. I think the green tea user would be healthier than the one who didn't drink it after smoking. This is my prediction. However:

    All OTHER factors excluded (which is Never possible, BUT to draw a point..) The person who took the green tea after smoking da herb will have a greater probability of staying healthy. With all other factors excluded that is, theres so many variables. I could be unhealthy with one respect or regard in my life and it could devastate other parts. So what I meant to say is taking an antioxidant, such as a tea, could but only help after injesting the herb.
    On a note, I think the time you injest the green tea after the potent herb would be another factor in the effects of antioxidants. . that the closer the two activities: the tea drinking and the smoking herb, the greater effect the tea would have on counteracting any negative effects of injesting marijuana or any other substances with chemicals , synethetic or Not, contained in them.

    What do ya'll think? I feel strongly about this idea of antioxidant teas counteracting negative effects of drugs and wouldn't mind some studies being done .

    Like, for instance after running or jogging, I've read that one has the greatest amount of free radicals in their body than normal.. That should mean that a free- radical eliminating source, such as green tea, would be effective in reversing the parts of running that are actually UNHEALTHY and bad for health.
    I'm under the impression that free radicals in the body in any form are negative in terms of health. So even an healthy activity like jogging has it's downsides.
    On another means, ...I think that smoking weed would cause some extra free radicals in your body than normal(like if you don't smoke marijuana). this is why I wonder about drinking green tea after smoking, since it's likely to support healthy living. (by counteracting negative MJ effects)

    IE taking green tea immediately after smoking would seem to stop bad effects of weed.

    I think this has scientific merit, because after smoking any weed, plant, or drug there is probably more free radicals in the body than usual.

    Drinking green tea which claims to 'kill free radicals' would seem to help counteract effects of drugs like excess free radicals.

    For those who don't know... Free radicals, like trans fat, and 500 lb,. women, are NO NO's

    Not entirely correct IMHO, what happen when you smoke that shit? you fell hungry right..thats your digestive juices workin overtime to digest shit insise your stomach..right?

    so if you drink tea chances are that it may cause acidity (if your stomach is not that full, if you know what I mean!!) and hence may also cause ulcers also..

    I would avoid tea for sure..maybe a fruit juice..and after that toke again lol

    however consuming tea normally is beneficial as posted under normal circumstances..ie reduced free radicals and all that crap

    Sentences are supposed to have a subject and a verb. A lot of those sentences dont make much sense. But yeah antioxidants are good for the body if you do or dont smoke so it couldnt hurt.

    it would help with some of these so called "free radicals" but your still smoking and hurting your lungs, it depends on what you mean by "healthier" because tea isnt going to repair lung damage

    it may stop cancer from years of smoking herb.
    Period. acidity excluded, if antioxidants actually work, then it is a fact...or close to it, an axiom. It is an axiom that, provided antioxidants actually work, that it would help nourish your body after smoking.

    Even though smoking causes a lot of health benefits, smoking weed , with how many chemicals(natural and unnatural) are in them, it's only natural for free radicals to form after smoking. Therefore, if one has brains they would consume something like an antioxidant tea after smoking.
    Nobody here has credentials to say either way. And if you do show me some real facts.


    Slybond , for instance. I'm not talking about stopping negative effects from weed, or smoking. What I am proposing is supporting a healthy body by stopping as many of the negatiev effects as I can.
    Ever hear that saying, everybody will get cancer, it's just a matter of time?
    IE if you lived 10000 years theres a bigger chance you'd get cancer, not just a bigger chance but a MULTI BIGGER chance.


    I dont think the acidity of tea would hurt especially a tea like green tea which is high in alkaloids.
    Alkaloids = base. Therefore it would actually decrease the amount of acidity in your body. Depends on the tea, I suppose.
    Anyways, I think the responses thus far are people who mostly don't want to drink tea after smoking. Then, their opinion will be based on what they are currently doing. So they will find holes in order to reason their own behavior.

    An antioxidant, or free radical KILLING formula, after smoking herb can only help, since smoking anything with thousands of chemicals is bound to create free radicals.

    Likewise, I would prefer scientific studies to be done, I am fairly positive this would not be a very very difficult study to perform. tThough the legality of cannabis differs, maybe another drug can be used to perform the study.

    Listen, this isn't an opinion. this is saying essentially"

    By exercising, you will remain healthy.

    Or, take this analogy.

    Even if you smoke, if you run a couple times a week...not only would that improve your health overall, but it would also help counteract effects from smoking.

    I think we can all say the same about green tea.

    edit: I don't use exact English syntax because I'm not a prune.

    Or, like drawing ideas outside of the line. I'm not a rigid line, I'm a circle. Therefore, I can type in any grammatical way I propose. Sometimes, instead of using one sentence, I can use 3 to illustrate one point. Or I can use 5 to make one broader point. Instead of being in the boundaries of having to use syntax I don't have to have excess words. I have an understanding. I am trying to provide that understanding to You.
    How I do this, is none of your business.

    i wasnt talking about grammar or syntax per se. what i meant was it helps people to understand you if you form complete thoughts with your sentences instead of some jumbled word salad of incoherent fragments. case in point- the very first sentence. i dont want to be a grammar nazi i just didnt understand some of your sentences.

    ha, no.

    Oh Coral, regarding the first sentence. I read that and was going to edit but figured the next sentence and those following would make up for the lack.

    Plus I wanted people to know, beforehand, that they were dealing with a post from somebody who doesn't care all that much about formality.

    edit, i apologize for my language. but whats yer point?

    If you wanna know some truth, everything in the entire universe has already been said. Time doesn't even exist if you look outside your own mind.

    My Point was that drinking tea(such as Green tea) Immediately after smoking anything should *logically* have pronounced effects on any bad effects from the smoke or chemicals in the smoke.

    Peace

    Sorry for the bad language, again. If anyone wants to throw hatred at me, I'll become a sponge and pretend I didn't see it.
    Again, sorry.
    i got attached to my Belief and thought that if I lost my feeling of "being right" that I would somehow be annilihated.
    Again, we can always agree to disagree.
    I disagree with you that this post has little value.
    I think the subject has merit for plenty of discussion which can hopefully lead to clinical studies that can provide evidence of things to do that decrease negative effect s from drugs.

    The whole thread, for me...was about a discussion of drinking antioxidant tea IMMEDIATELY after smoking as a way to effectively reduce any cancer causing agents that may have arisen in the body from smoking herb. Now I know thc is healthy, and it cures cancer, and bla bla bla that any pothead will say to protect and legitimize their use of the herb...but it is a plant and depending on the conditions of the weed and how it was grown and what was used and how it was shipped...the weed may have extra chemicals in it.
    With that said I wonder if green tea helps reduce any conditions that could cause injested weed to become harmful.
    If any harm can be reduced from smoking marijuana I should be the first to try and help find that solution!
    Just a suggestion that may hopefully lead to clinical trials on the subject.
    After all we want to live long and for many years,
    So that We can do what we want to do with our time here :=]

    You lost me after your first sentence. You believe drinking tea after smoking will do what?

    Oh, it'll make you not get sick. Right. Sure, whatever you tell yourself. Only eat munchies from Whole Foods. The cereal is $9 so it must be natural, organic, and healthy! It makes your shit taste like rainbows after that blunt you just smoked cured your cancer. It's true! I read it after searching Google!
