Think of your lungs!

Marijuana (MJ) smoking produces inflammation, edema, and cell injury in the tracheobronchial mucosa of smokers and may be a risk factor for lung cancer[..]. Brief exposure to smoke from 3.95% MJ cigarettes stimulated the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by 80% over control levels and lowered intracellular glutathione levels by 81%. [..] We conclude that MJ smoke containing Delta 9-THC is a potent source of cellular oxidative stress that could contribute significantly to cell injury and dysfunction in the lungs of smokers.

speaking of vaporization - do this! Smoke wild lettuce resin in a vaporizor. An instant rush that's unexpectedly somewhat psychedelic, followed by couple hours of that sweet heavy-limbed feeling lactuca lays on you (then sleep - best before bedtime).

I could easily go over to eating pot, but I'd really miss the nicotine.

Quote:
MJ smoke passed through a Cambridge filter that removed particulate matter was 3.4-fold more active in ROS production compared with unfiltered smoke, suggesting that most of the oxidative effects are produced by the gaseous phase.
So does this mean that vaporisers don't help?

It makes no statement about this. It talks about the gaseous phase of the smoke.

all that resin and tar in your bowl is in your lungs too.
of course, we'd just save those balls of resin for when we ran dry and smoked them anyways....it always gave me more of a headache than anything else.
