Are Sativas making me a worse smoker?

Hello, this will be my 2nd post and 1st thread. First I'd like to start off by saying i have nothing against Sativas, when used properly they can make the sun explode and turn your car into a starship enterprise (not while driving of course, looking at it is enough), and why wouldn't you want that in your life? My problem is that i meet more and more people everyday who i fear DON'T know how to smoke properly.

I started off with well aged Indicas and it taught me so much about smoking properly and taking care of the plant. I'm one of those weirdos who likes getting so high i mistake airplanes for UFOs and think that the sky is falling when a lightbulb burns out. However this is NOT how i like acting on a daily bases. Sadly i have to work my ass off for my money so as much as i love Rastas, i myself can't walk around all blazed eyed and shakey, especially as I'm already messed up enough when sober.


Anyways i don't want to pick apart peoples smoking techniques, but i feel some people may be getting CBN confused with carbon monoxide poisening (drowsy, stupid, and in the process they smoke large quantities of Sativas to make up for it. My problem isn't really with the Snoop doggs or the occasional power-hitters, my problem is with the people who think they have to smoke that way to enjoy themselves, i tried it myself and its just made me less and less high, meanwhile if i take a break for awile then i can smoke just a little middle grade schwag and feel like my head is being held against a psychodelic cieling fan. BANG BANg bANG BANG :eyesmoke:


I don't think I'm a expert smoker, but i've come to the conclusion that smoking slowly and carefully, and then only pressing harder once the heat is evenly spread out on the bud is the way to go. Ideally their should be less white smoke and just a hint of green mist. However green mist only works so long as the vapors are cool, if its still burning then thats usually a indication of NOx poisening (or so my engine tuning backround has taught me) My main problem is i usually tell people this and they think I'm some sort of quack when really i just want better tokes for everyone.

So then, am I a quack?



PS:My name is sort of a antithesis towards my current attitude on how to smoke, it comes from when i burned my vaporizer out and sucked on melting plastic for like 5 hours, nasty nasty experience.

i dunno about sativa making me too fucked up/ i usually get used to whatever strain ui'm smoking fairly quickly if i'm smoking it regularly.

i get what you mean about the different types of smoke. I'm sure burning the crystals at different temperatures would have different effects on the way the thc is broken down. i always wondered if people were wasting the goodness when using lighters with high intensity flames. you know those blow torch, bunsen burner typ lighters.

when i was yougner i used to pull on the cone as slowly as possibly to get the slowest possible burn from my cones. lol i'm not sure if this has any effect other at all.. i still get just as stoned when i thump the cone down. :D

My thoughts, exactly.

I don't think people mistake CBN and CBD for carbon monoxide poisoning.

probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. I'd like to see the proof that there's even a significant amount of carbon monoxide produced from burned bud.

the way you light your bud with a lighter will not change the chemicals you're being introduced to. the way you light your bud wont make you get less carcinogens or C-O (if it's even there,) you need to vaporize to get rid of everything.

but there haven't been enough health problems in pot smokers related to C-O poisoning for me to believe it's even there in large enough quantities to do anything.

peace

Kinda confused about this post as well. Don't see what indica vs sativa has to do with the smoking method... I almost always prefer a sativa as I can funtion off of it. If I want to really zone out i'll hit the goo and melt. If you're saying that its hard to smoke just indica all the time and function I'de definately agree with you.

yeah sure, whatever :D


I think i should have asked what color smoke people try to exhale, that was my main question, then i started talking about combustion properties.

I don't see what the big deal is weed is weed, people smoke how they wanna smoke, some people smoke nothing but bowls and like to fly up high, now thats ok but theres a time and a place for it imo, personally i like to wake up to some sativa, smoke a bit of sativa during the day while i'm working and then when i get home have a bit of indica.

Weed is nothing more than a tool to enhance my mood or just improve upon it, the moment your just smoking it for sport and a laugh thats when you become a stoner,

I got me a bud bomb and i have a hit on that every so often but apart from that i smoke only joints i had my time of going for gold on the bong back when i was in my teens, now its all about staying chilled out, not letting the world get to me and keeping a smile on my face as long as it does that it serves its purpose, i guess for me it stopped being fun years ago i smoke it to stay balanced

There is always the chance on the offhand that you were a bad smoker to start with.
