Stoner Scientests thoughts

We all know there's a difference between what goes into your lungs when you're smoking a joint, and what goes in when you're vaporizing. So I started thinking. The THC in the weed is different than what makes it into you're mouth, because it's combusted and therefore has more oxygen attatched to it. And then for your lungs to absorb the THC it must bond with something in your lungs, so the THC that makes it to your head is different than what was in your mouth.

The THC goes through at least 2 chemical reactions before it's gone to your head. Just a thought. I'm going to get high now. Anybody else thoughts on this would be cool

 

actually, thc is destyroyed when it combusts. however the heat of weed ember is over the boiling point of THC, and thus the THC evapourates down the stem of the bong. some thc might breakdown from the heat, but that would just add to the many many cannabinoids in cannabis smoke

as for boning with something in your lungs, i dont know about that one, it could be worth lookin into though

 

And pure oxygen is a reactant in the combustion process, not a product. A combustion reaction yields carbon dioxide CO2^ and water vapor H2O^. Both these things you don't really want in your lungs so much. And yeah it's true the thc doesnt undergo combustion, everything else does. The THC just changes form into a vapor.

 

thc doesn't doesn't undergo chemical reactions on its way to your brain. it does change during metabolism, though.

 

Yes I think you're all right about the combustion bits. It makes more sense. I knew oxygen was a product, and from orgnic chem I shoulda knew what the products were myself. I took little biology but from what I know, PurpleGel, it has to go through a reaction to be able ot even enter the bloodstream and get up to the brain the same way oxygen does when we breathe.

So now I have a question. If the flame and combustion destroys the THC, does it mean I'm more dependant on the cherry as opposed to the flame when it comes to lighting it? The less I have to pump the butene into my pipe the better.

 

this is true. its better to use the cherry than the lighter. but thc doesnt join onto haemoglobin. maybe it goes through some process, but ive never read anythin like that. most likely, osmosis simply draws thc into your blood. there might be somethin that goes on before it reaches your brain

 

makes sense!!!
