herb and a healthy body?

Hey I got a question. I was gonna do a bit of a hunt on the internet but thought it might be worth throwing it up for discussion here as could be useful! 
I smoke alot of the old 'erb, though not joints where possible...not too keen on baccy. Aside from how you smoke it (or ingest it!!), do you guys/gals do anything to keep yourselves as healthy as you can? I hear a lot about vitamins, anti-oxidants and stuff...and exercise - how can I forget about exercise?!
Any doctors in the house?

Are you asking what are healthy choices to make if you smoke grass?

the healthiest way to smoke pot by far is to use a vaporizer... i pretty much dont feel a thing with my lungs when i smoke with a vaporizer... i can usually make it to the gym just a few hours after smoking with a vaporizer and do cardio like i normally do.

hey, thanks for replies. dont put baccy in your joints, that must be some heavy smoking?!!?! and yeah, often thought of using a vapouriser...but always thought it was a little mechanical for the experience. but i'm kinda more wondering you know if there's anything out there like supplements or things like lung exercises I should be doing or otherwise. or am i thinking too much about it perhaps?!

Vaporizing is one of the healthiest ways.But cooking is the healtheist.
Make some bhang with your bud. Or smoe brownies or cookies. I like to make bud coffe boil a gram in 3 tps of butter for 15 minutes and then strain your bud and and dump it in the coffe and add some vanilla creamer and it tastes good as fuck. Your all energized and high and not tired at all.

There is no way to counter-act the smoke that goes in your lungs with exercise, etc. Just like smoking a cigarette it will make your lungs nasty and could eventually lead to cancer. The healthiest choices are brownies(all though those aren't too healthy either ) or a vaporizer. Drop $500 on a volcano vape and you wont regret it a day of your life. It may be pricey but I'd gladly pay $500 to get out of lung cancer.

Just make it a habit to toke and workout. Working out while you're high is great because you can feel more. In other words you're more aware of how your body works and how it's connected. I'm in kickass shape because whenever I enjoy the good herb, I workout for a couple hours afterwards, either lifting weights, running, doing core exercises, shadow boxing, knife fighting drills, etc. Vaps are a good idea; but personally, I'd spend $500 on other shit.

Dont roll your joints with tobbaco. I smoke pure herb. Personally you need to smoke alot to get lung cancer, i have been smoking herb for about a year and a half and lately iv been smoking 2+ or more times a day. I still dont notice my lungs being that bad yet.. im not coughing alot or hacking up anything gross..doesnt mean my lungs are clean either.

Just smoke and work out. I feel I workout the best when stoned because I can feel everything I am doing and my form is perfect. I also am extremely motivated and know that I have to push out all of my reps.

Hey all, thanks for your replies - sounds like I need to get to the gym! I actually went to the gym once after some cheeky smoke...it was one of the hardest workouts i'd ever done...sort of nicely weird actually! I do like the idea of looking at 'erb as a bit of a reward for a good session working out though, i bet it makes the experience seem more earned.
I'm still not sold on the idea of a vapouriser, to me it just sorta seems a bit mechanical, sorta against the 'free spirit' of 'erb, though I can see what you're all talking about from a health angle. Most of the time I use a a little pipe that i've got (nothing fancy). More recently i've become a bit of a junior expert at firecrackers...they're so quick and easy to put together! awesome stuff.
I think i'll check out some anti-oxidants and similar from the local chemist too, though i think this is more about me just wanting to take care of my health more generally....at 25 i'm starting to get on a bit!!!!

- Smoke a bong or a hookah or anything that filters the smoke through water to get all the nasty stuff out
- Never mix your herb with anything nasty like tobacco or even paper (joints)
- Always smoke the best herb you can get to minimize the amount of smoke you have to inhale to get the desired effects
- Or better yet, just eat the herb in some form to eliminate the smoke altogether
- Always drink lots of water (whether you're stoned or not) to keep yourself from being sluggish
- Remember though: Giving herb to your body in the first place is one of the healthiest things you can do for it
- I recommend that you read The Benefits of Marijuana by Joan Bello

It's true it's true, Vaporize me captain! So smoothe. You'll drop a penny and pray you don't drop the piece, but it's so worth it to feel like a champ takin' bong rips without trying. And no skimming up, it'll get you higher and damage your lungs less to smoke straight buds (not to mention taste better). Other little improvements could be staying away from blunts or learning to roll with slightly smaller papers, and taking vitamins with energy-boosters in them, like guarana. It gives a nice overall energy-elation sort of "buzz". (I smoke, therefore I am lazy and groggy, therefore I use more (good) drugs to ward it off!) If you get the munchies really bad, lean towards healthy foods that are still rich in flavour instead of fast food and slurpies (which is so satisfying stoned...but you just scarf it and feel bloated and shitty afterward). And though it may be tempting when you're jonesin' sometimes, don't smoke resin, even if it gets you blazed. Hope this helps a little...but don't sweat it much, Donald Tashkin just finished a study saying marijuana is good for the mind, body, and soul!!!!!!!!!!! (Click & Scroll down)

Tar accumulates in your lungs, and as long as you smoke regularly you won't notice it. I smoked marijuana and hashish for 25 years, and when I was smoke-free for one month at the end, I began coughing up huge amounts of dark brown slime every morning. This lasted for several months... 
And I wasn't even a daily smoker. A couple of times per week on the average, sometimes less, sometimes more.
I believe bhang is the healthiest way to ingest cannabis, like SurCal said.

everone should work out atleast 3-5 times a week at moderate intensity an hour a day. That's for the average joe the athlete does alot more. Stretching is very important also. Always start you day off by stretching. I personally go to the gym 3 times a week and martial arts class two times a week although I don't run enough I should run every day.

I should add that none of this ever happened the few times I took month-long breaks from smoking when I was younger. I guess my lungs were more efficient getting rid of the tar back then. But lungs age, and at some point they can't cope as well as they used to. So if you do smoke regularly, my advice is to take a long break from smoking once a year to see what shape your lungs are in. Then you'll notice when it's time to quit smoking and start drinking bhang instead, or buy that expensive vaporizer, or whatever...

"I smoked marijuana and hashish for 25 years, and when I was smoke-free for one month at the end, I began coughing up huge amounts of dark brown slime every morning. This lasted for several months... "
Woah dude thats fucked up, I smoke everyday 2 time or more depending on whats happening....I am thinking of taking a brake from marijuana for a few..but I haven't noticed to much of a change in my performance and Ive been smoking for about 2-3 years, and I work, lift weights and play basket ball almost everyday.
But I will say there are days where i smoked previous that morning and I am playing basket ball and i am bogging like a mother fucker because of it, marijuana may have good benefits but when you get right down to the point of it.. its still smoke and smoke in lungs dont mix to well.
if marijuana were legal people would be buying some pot Brownies in stores =healthy.
