Smoking Weed

[debbiedowner]

did anyone answer my question about what smoking pot does to their lungs?

Sort of I have read recently it actually expands your lungs and makes it easier to breathe. but like anything else there's always the other side.

Well, if you had read my post, I gave you a personal example of where it doesn't appear to affect breathing by much. I used to smoke both cigarettes and marijuana and rode a bicycle. I noticed that my wind was going down quite a bit, so I quit smoking cigarettes but kept smoking marijuana. And, my O2 uptake went back up, even though I kept smoking cannabis. At my last physical, the doctor said that I was in remarkable shape for my age, and there were no problems with my O2 stats.

Like Debbie said the effects of weed is different to different people I couldn't stand it all I wanted to do after doing a few hits of a bong was laugh, eat and go to sleep in minutes.


I couldn't function or work off that stuff.

Neither could I back then and had no idea there were different strains, it was Acapulco gold, Thai stick, Hawaiin or hash or whatever you could score an ounce for $15.00 in the military. Sex was fantastic before the munchies and sleep and of course watching comedies. I suspect what I've had recently must be sativa, more energy, and no munchies. Someone correct me if the sativa is the wrong one.

Speed could be bought otc where I was stationed overseas in a little tin like bear aspirin for a couple bucks and you had twenty little pills. Most of the billets smoked at night a used speed during the day.

Has anyone noticed? We're all getting along with different political affiliations in this thread. Maybe John Lennon had a point?

Yes, body chemistry does play a part, but so does the type of marijuana you smoke. There are two distinct varieties, Indica and Sativa, as well as many hybrid varieties that combine the effects of both.

If you smoke a pure Sativa, you will have a body and brain buzz, will feel energized, and in some cases will notice an increase in the ability to focus.

If you smoke a pure Indica (which is what it sounds like you smoked), you will have a feeling of euphoria, will experience pain relief, and will want to go to sleep. It's one of the reasons they call Indica "in da couch".

And, if you get a hybrid, the effects will vary, depending on whether it is Indica or Sativa dominant, as well as what the parentage of the plant is.

When I first started smoking, I only knew of 2 kinds of weed, really good stuff and ditch weed. After CO legalized it and I started going up there, I learned that there are many different varieties, and depending on what I want to do, depends on what I smoke.

If you're interested in mowing the lawn? Sativas are great, with my favorite being Golden Goat.

If you are interested in going to sleep? Indicas are the thing you want, with one of my favorites being Strawberry Banana. All it takes is a couple of hits, get a bit still, and you will be asleep in 10 min.

Interesting I didn't know that , my cousin used to love smoking skunk weed so that's what I used to take a hit off once and a while if I didn't have any coke on me..I hated that stuff

But thinking about it some more hash under a glass wasn't to bad but hard to find up in the suburbs of Chicago in the 80s

Nope, you're right. Sounds like you had a Sativa. Sativas give you a body and brain buzz, make you feel energized and wanting to do stuff.

Yep, read your post right after I posted. It doesn't make me sleepy but when I do go to bed I sleep better than usual and although I have the pain up until I go to bed I have none the next morning or actually for about 2 days after.

I forgot about Thai stick I did that one time not to bad another thing I didn't like was mushrooms..

I remember this one time on the forth of July my cousin and I had a crazy idea.


Let's roll a big fat joint with a gram of cocaine, a mushroom and skunk weed ..


Lol what a weird high that was ..

You know, one of the things I noticed when I was a bartender at a biker bar called "Boondocks" (they let you smoke marijuana in the back parking lot), was that the people who came and only smoked were generally the best to talk to, great tippers and always friendly.

Off of that, I started to pay attention to other marijuana users when I met them. By and large, everyone is friendly and willing to share.

So, I figure that marijuana not only relaxes you, but it makes you friendlier and more willing to cooperate with others. When I talked with my roomie about this, she told me I was absolutely correct (she's been smoking a lot longer than me). And, in both of our opinions, there should be a bowl full of cannabis hard candies at the entrances to both the Senate and House floors, with a requirement that each lawmaker has at least 2 candies when entering. Maybe then all the partisan bullshit would stop and they could start working together to get this country back on the right track.

Quick suggestion if you smoke a Sativa. My roomie has the same problem, because the body buzz of the Sativa also sets off places where she has chronic pain. If you notice yourself starting to hurt, grab a CBD only candy or edible and eat it. CBD's are legal if they contain no THC, and you can find them in head shops. The CBD will counter the body buzz effect and relieve your pain.

that must have been a weird one. Never did mushrooms. Only snorted coke a couple times back in the 70's, did like it but too expensive for me back then and thank god because if I could have afforded I'd be dead.

Smoking anything (tobacco, weed, meth, crack, etc.) is for toothless old ladies that are already down on their luck.

You know....................marijuana kinda fosters an atmosphere of peace. I have NEVER been in a smoking circle where disagreements happened.

There have been some that I've been in that had some pretty strange conversations though.

 

[Cecilie1200]

I tried the patches, gum and pills, never worked for me, but I did get a hell of a nicotine buzz...I usually average less than a pack a day...

Have you tried vaping yet? If you want to quit smoking - I assume you do, since you said you tried the other methods - it's worth a shot.

I've quit a dozen times over 50 years of puffing, I have tried vaping but have not switched over..

Frick. Why quit now, it will probably kill you. Lol.

I'm guessing that IS why.

I know someone who quit. Gained 40 lbs in 2 yrs. Was in perfect health when smoking. After 2 yrs his blood pressure went funky and so did his sugar. I tell ya. LOL.

Vaping tends to head that off, because you are still getting the nicotine, just without the tars and carcinogens and God knows what else, and because you are still getting the oral fixation satisfied, that eliminates the temptation to replace it with snacking.

And yeah, I can see where gaining 40 lbs would mess with your blood pressure and sugar levels.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Never tried it. I don't smoke and puffing more smoke into your lungs seems ill advised. I believe that it is probably no worse than alcohol. But, I can't see how having even more stoned people in society is going to be a benefit. And, I am concerned about people driving as there is no way to check for acute intoxication like there is for alcohol. If people could use it responsibly like having it on occasion to enjoy like having some drinks now and then, then I don't see a problem. However, human beings tend to go overboard on almost everything. And, also, what about people smoking it and if you inhale it? Are you absorbing any where you could possibly lose a job if drug tested? Also, if it's legal then why should employers be able then to fire people who have used it on their off time? Seems like it will be legal but only really legal for the unemployed.

There's no issue with driving, and no evidence of impairment. First time I did it I noticed it made me a better driver, as I slowed down and took way more notice of everything going on.

Of course anything can be done to excess, to where you're lost on what should be a familiar street, but such excess is at least in part incited by the prohibition in the first place.

As far as both employment "drug tests" and competence to drive or operate machinery, etc, the former is a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment and does not indicate one's current state anyway; rather it amounts to self-incrimination from a period of the last month, for a law that's highly questionable in the first place. And the latter, as regards workplace safety, driving a car, or anything else, can be measured by a simple reflex test. Pass the test, go to work. Fail the test and safety is maintained. Plus, such a test would (a) flag any manner of impairment whether from a drug, from cannabis (which is not a "drug"), from alcohol, from lack of sleep, from distraction elsewhere, from a sickness the subject may not even be yet aware of, anything; and (b) would cost far far less than taking fucking pee samples and sending them off to a lab.

But we'll never do that, because safety is not the point. Controlling personal lives is.

You'll excuse me if I'm not inclined to accept the judgement of the impaired person about how well he drives while impaired. Nor am I overly impressed by anyone who feels that using drugs is as important as, if not more important than, being employed. If you don't want to take the drug test, no one will force you to. They just won't hire you. But don't come crying to me about how you're broke.

If ever anyone NEEDED their mental state to be altered.....

No thanks. I'm fine just as I am, thank you very much.

ehhhh.... might want to take a poll on that one.

Polling would imply that he's remotely interested in what anyone else thinks, and I don't think he is.

 

[Cecilie1200]

ehhhh.... might want to take a poll on that one.

No polling necessary. Just because I do not participate in your debaucherous and immoral society doesn't mean I need to change anything in my life.

What society do you participate in?

If you read his posts for a while, you realize that he doesn't really participate in society much at all. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If he likes it that way, society probably does, too.

Yeah. This was pre electronic. I don't even think the patch or pills were around.

 

[Cecilie1200]

did anyone answer my question about what smoking pot does to their lungs?

Don't think it does much since (a) it's in there far less time than tobacco smoke would be and (b) it's (presumably) not sprayed with carcinogenic shit and (hopefully) not wrapped in paper bleached white with chlorine. Also smoking is not the only way to ingest it.

You'd be mistaken. Again, inhaling smoke is not ever going to be good for the lungs.

Tar in tobacco causes cancer. These carcinogens are need in weed. The same risks aren’t present.

There are lots of carcinogens in tobacco, and marijuana does have carcinogens in it, as well.

Whoever said that probably also believes that drinking bleach can cure AIDS.
