5 Methods Of Smoking Ranked From Most Healthy To Least Healthy
Smoking may be the most popular way of ingesting cannabis, but despite the healing properties of the plant, smoke inhalation is still a cause for concern for many health-conscious users. Carcinogens, tar, tobacco-based papers and high-heat can indeed result in some undesirable health effects when smoke inhalation occurs long-term, leaving many to wonder whether they should switch up their smoking methods for good. Let’s determine what the preferred smoking methods are from the healthiest to least healthy. 1. Vaporization
The #1 healthiest inhalation method for cannabis is vaporization. Vaporizing is a smoke-free method that steadily heats your herb at a high enough temperature to extract its THC or CBD, but at a low enough temperature to release the combustible materials into your bloodstream.
Vaporization has quickly become the preferred method for many smokers, as it’s not only healthier but a lot more discreet due to its minimal odor. Keep in mind that cannabis concentrates such as dabs, oils or waxes work much better with most vaporizers than the use of flower, which may still require some degree of combustion. 2. Water bongs/pipes
Water bongs and pipes are considered to be healthier than smoking since the water cools the smoke ingested before it hits the lungs. It is also possible that other byproducts of combustion and particulate matter are filtered by the water before it reaches your lungs as well.
Seeing as how cooled smoke often results in bigger, longer hits, old water bongs/pipes require regular cleaning, as carcinogenic matter and resin can become caught inside and cause further irritation. 3. Hand pipes/Joints
Each of these options will deliver hot smoke into your lungs within seconds. Undoubtedly, the most convenient and popular means of smoking but not always the healthiest.
Joints can be rolled in hemp, bamboo or rice paper for a cleaner smoke, but they won’t protect you from carcinogens or all particulate matter (even with a good filter). 4. Hookahs
Not a common method, but some people do combine cannabis with wet tobacco or shisha for hookah use. Many cannabis users don’t favor this method as hookahs tend to burn through weed far too quickly.
Health-wise, combining cannabis with tobacco will always be more harmful than smoking weed on its own. 5. Blunts
Rolled in cigar paper with added tobacco, blunts are popular among smokers who like the combined effects of marijuana and nicotine. But unfortunately, tobacco products are both addictive and harmful.
Health-conscious smokers who may be concerned about susceptibility to cancers, respiratory illnesses, heart disease and other medical conditions should opt-for tobacco-free smoking methods.

Cannabis can regrow brain cells, so the argument goes. It's become a favorite claim for supporters of medical weed, but there's a catch.
It may be a myth.
According to researchers at the University of California at San Francisco, brain cell growth — or "neurogenesis" — does not occur in the adult human hippocampus. This study seemingly flies in the face of the past two decades of research claiming the hippocampus could regenerate lost cells. In other mammals,...07-03-2018, 10:16 PM -
Smoking marijuana during illness and cold - helps or harms?
Smoking marijuana can relieve the symptoms of colds, but it can also worsen them. As temperatures fall during the winter months, the current season is the season of influenza, many consumers wonder - can you use cannabis by having a cold or sick?
Scientific research has shown that marijuana can help alleviate pain and extend the airways, but in some patients it can also worsen your health.

Musicians, artists, and writers have used cannabis for centuries. Cannabis has been part of spiritual and meditation rituals. It reduces anxiety and inhibition, and it opens new horizons when it alters physical sensation and perception of time and space. Heightened creativity weaves its way through these effects. So, more cannabis veterans and newcomers are choosing strains that boost their creative energy and focus. Frontal Lobe Activity
The IBMJ (2011) reported, “Current creativity research...05-17-2018, 09:26 PM -
Why marijuana decarboxylation is so important?
Decarboxylation - that sounds scary. In this way, however, a very simple process is defined, which you probably already had before. This is basically a simple heating of marijuana, which is necessary if you want the specialties prepared by you to have this power.
If you have ever started a marijuana joint or used a vaporizer for its consumption, be aware that in the past you have already had cannabis under the decarboxylation...05-17-2018, 08:21 PM -
If alcohol were under the same scrutiny for its health impact that marijuana continues to be, bars would not be allowed to exist. After all, marijuana has been shown to be more than 100 times safer than alcohol. Is it any wonder that many Americans are reassessing their relationship with alcohol and are now choosing to smoke some dank buds instead of opening a Bud Light?
It’s hard to second guess the logic. What we know about alcohol from impact studies shows it to be a public health...04-20-2018, 05:46 PM -
Bongs are one of the most iconic and time-honored ways to consume cannabis.
A big bong rip—usually cooled by water and/or ice—is absolutely one of the most effective ways to smoke flower. But what are the secrets of bong science? Why, exactly, do bongs work so well? First, let’s examine the anatomy of a bong.
1. The Tube
The tube is the main body of the bong, ending in the mouthpiece. It’s the cylindrical chamber which fills up with smoke after the smoke is filtered through the...04-05-2018, 08:48 PM
