"they need to test the bongwater, thats an incredibly relevant requirement" Irrelevant! There ares virtually NO cannabiniods in bong water. They're not soluble and yes we've check it with a police THC assay kit. Hooray for bongs!
Hmm, maybe those joint-smokin hippies of old already knew what was up. Still, I'm confused by these contradictions, but figure right now to aim for the middle ground: the pipe. Less wastage through escaping smoke as in a joint, but no water to filter cannabinoids and less surface area for them to stick to as in a bong. If anyone hears anything about that Aussie study mentioned in the article, post it. By the way, dangermoose; that article said vaporizers are the worst.
Anyone who ever poured out used bong water knows that the idea that joints or pipes are healthier than a bong is crazy. Would you rather breath all that black goock?
the most healthy way to indulge in your favorite weed is through a volcano vapourisor when all you inhale is nothing but pure thc and , well in my opinion it is the best and cleanest hit for a very small amont of weed . you can view it at storz@bickel.com
your right trippin, i should have read the article. i thought it was another one norml had released, but it was a new ealand study conducted...but at anyrate they didnt use a vapourizer. the hot air gun and the hot plate 'vapourizers' are NOT vapourizers. they're cheap knock off to sell to people who can't afford real 300 dollar vaps. at any rate... stoner bill, you don't really need to check the bong water, though it would be nice for confirmation...however its really a matter of simple arithmatic. you have 100 'things' in your bud, (20 doohickies, 20 whathcamacallits, 20 thingamabobs, 20 stuffs, and 20 gizmos) you smoke it through the bong...you now have 87 'things' (17 doohickies, 17 whatchamacallits, 18 thingamabobs, 20 stuffs, and 15 gizmos)....you already know what components are missing, you don't really need to check the water...but it would be a nice reassurance i agree. geck...ever seen a roach? ever notcied how clogged that is with resin? if you were to ut that roach in the bong, it would dirty the water more than just by smoking through it.
gecko stop acting like your traditional thinkning is right. how can you call my naive? their experiements found that there was somehting odd about the findings. the whole poiint of experiements like tehse is taht theyre independant of other previosuly thought truths. im not saying this test you nrefer to is wrong, but most likely they had different technique, and thats why they need to test the bongwatwer of the bongs they used. Its standard procedure for testing like this. youve either never studied sciences properly before, or your a bad scientist! lol
Stonerbill, You're full of shit. How much lab time and education do you have? I wasn't refering to someone else's test. Go try it yourself. ---- We've had our share of 16 year-old know-it-alls, but you win the award for naivity/arrogance. Sitting in front of a computer all day is no way for a kid to become an expert on anything except the internet. Try living life! When I was your age I was running weed by the bale from Texas to Carolina. After awhile, I took chem eng and ran a dope lab or two. So stuff your unsubstatiated web knowledge! I speak from experience, or I credit the source.
i thought thc is only soluble in fat or oil so why would thc be lost in bong water and if it was lost in bong water why dont people drink it bong and vaporizer are healthiest i read that joints are most effiecent but i dont think test realized that joint :hangs out: in peoples hand and is still buring weed
the article mentioned the sticky nature of thc, though i doubt it would 'stick' to water still... and people do drink it, and claim to get high, but also get really sick too lol. and no one said joints are efficient, its about the healthiness of the smoke. anyway gecko, how about refer to actual statements in my posts u gronk
Stonerbill, I did, you little wannabe. The bong water IS NOT relavant ( as stated by YOU), for the reason cited by Modestsmoker. Why do you have a problem that I've done the test myself? Why does it offend you that someone three times your age, who's a product of the 60's and 70's, knows far more about the subject than you do?
Man...chill out dude. It's not all about you anyways. Anecdotal evidence is good, but not scientific. I'm not saying your wrong, but no one should just take your word for it cuz you're from the 60's.
dear geckopelli so youve tested the chemical makeup of bongwater? please show us your report thanks love, bill xxx
Stonerbill, Conducted in a cocaine lab: 1 pint of heavily used bong water (approximately 1 oz of marijuana having been smoked through it) was filtered of all solids. a drop of the subject water was placed in a test tube, and, as per directions, two drops of a reagent solution ( I don't recall the chemical; it came from the police lab via a corrupt cop) were added and the results obsevered. The characteristic color change (I think it was blue) that indicates the presence of THC was not observed to occur. No effect at all was observed. The conclusion: No significant amount of THC exists in bong water. -------- I told you- I speak from direct knowledge, not other peoples web sites. Here's another, more recently conducted experiment for you: http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34979 you're just going to have to face it: I know what I'm talking about.
i LOVE the way weed smells burnt. i love the way i smells fresh, i love the way it taste, i love everything about EXCEPT BONG WATER IS DISCUSTING i dont understand y it smells soo bad and tastes HORRIBLE.. and thc is soluble in fat / idk about oil... but i dont think either are in water.
see how easy it would have to simply post that? why didnt you refger to this experiement in the first place? though this still does not show why testing of bongwater is irelevant. It is relevant because the experiement tries to make conclusions as to the healthiness of bongs, which would require testing of the chemicals OTHER than thc in bong water (since thc is not considered harmful). anyway your saying that whole experiement is mistaken so i guess it comes down to that. and fandango, oils and fats are the same thing, basically.
