I grew up smoking Mexican "Brick" weed. Half seed/half weed. Some of it wasn't all that bad. We did prefer the Golds, Thai sticks, blonde Lebanese and black Afghani hash. But if all we could get was brick weed we smoked it.
smokin that bammer lol ya buddy, wrapped in foil, the good ol days lol

Tasted like shit but got you where you needed to go

First of all there is no data. So we don't know if the chemicals act as toxins or not. If they did, and if they had anywhere close to the same effect as the ingested studies, we see just how absurd the amount of material needing to be consumed to reach toxicity threshold really is.

I've run the numbers and with the worst case scenario that I've seen documented (mushrooms) you'd have to injest about 90% of your body weight before you hit acute toxicity levels. With the best case scenario its over 26× your body weight! When people are this concerned with that level of toxicity it makes me question how else they live. Do they apply that same rigidity to every harmful substance and scenario they experience? I doubt not. I think it's more plausible there's a superfluous fear being over represented. And if we take into account that there is no data we can further reveal our hysteria. If you allow the fact that eating 90% of your body weight of something is toxic, if you let that fact rule whether or not you use a product, you probably shouldn't use any products ever. I'm sure if I ate 178lbs of pizza it'd be toxic, but that doesn't stop me from eating a few slices. :mrgreen:
You still havent produced any reason why those products need to be used. Is it really that advantageous? Is there a good argument for their use?

I don't think we were debating necessities, rather personal techniques and procedures.

Is there an argument against their use? We are bound by the same reality that there is no data. So as you say, show me why I need, I will say, show me why I can't?

I don't even use em. Didn't know what they were till today. But its the logic that I'm defending.

I see some here using pool shock in their hydro. I would rather smoke the hydro without the super shock. I dont need evidence.
Good luck with whatever point you are trying to make

think the word "Death" comes to mind....
Not really at all. No data. The data that is around says, finally, at 90% to 2,650% of your body weight you'll reach acute toxicity threshold. If you're worried about these levels of toxicity, you really can't eat anything.

ADI is 3.3% -100% of your bodyweight. That's per day. If you weigh 200lbs, that's an acceptable daily intake of 6.6lbs - 200lbs. I might use 2g a day if I'm lucky so I personally wouldn't be worried, but that's me.

2g ÷ 6.6lbs = .0006 or .06% of my acceptable daily intake.

Here's the residual chemical found in certain produce in units of mg/kg.
Screenshot_2019-02-01-13-05-46~2.png

Here's where I got the .04mg/kg of bodyweight to find personal ADI. As well as personal acute toxicity threshold.
USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_orca-image--1864895839.jpeg_1549065293986.jpeg

Mushrooms had the highest residual at 1.19mg chemical per 1kg produce. So that's where I got my "worst case scenario" from.

If the chemical was used in MJ cultivation, and if the most toxic produce could be a good representation as what to expect in terms of the residue chemical still in the MJ at harvest then we can find a therotecical ADI (even though there is no data and this is all just speculation) for MJ.

200lb guy equals about 91kg.

91kg × (.04mg/kg bodyweight ADI)
=
3.64mg ADI

3.64mg ÷ 1.19mg/kg
=
3.05kg ~6.6lbs

I used this same process when figuring for the less toxic examples, thus the range from 90% - 2,650%.



How I got 90%...

200 ÷ 2.2 = 91kg
91kg × 1.06 = 96.46mg
96.46mg ÷ 1.19mg/kg = 81kg
81kg × 2.2 = 178lbs

178 ÷ 200 = .89 or 89%

That entire example and calculation is irrelevant and only to help show the reality of the situation that you folks have allowed yourselves to become entwined.

You think it's bad because of studies that aren't translatable. So I'm entertaining that premise with some logic to help put the risk into perspective. My reasons won't offer true discovery but I have to speak your language. The fact that you think they are bad chemicals based on studies that aren't translatable already nullifies any logical debate. So I went down the rabbit hole with ya even though I know I'm not proving anything or supporting the reality. Which is we don't know. So to have a strong opinion one way or the other is pretty unintelligent.

That's all I've been trying to say. We don't know, so because we don't know, what good is telling someone yes they should or no they shouldn't?

What a bunch of elitist assholes
Yeah it's unbelievable what a world class douche bag someone can turn into with the anonymity afforded by a screen, a keyboard and a dark room. I grew the same strain for seven years with mostly organic nutes. If I wasn't stinking like weed I was stinking like fish. I run PGRs one time at the request of one buyer, ask a question about the odd looking buds and all of a sudden I'm, what was it? A bottom feeding something or other.

To the bolded: That is pernicious illogic. It specifically discredits legitimate caution. The effect of these substances upon combustion/inhalation is not known. Thus it is reasonable to allow that there might be a real concern. This is not tantamount to your insinuated statement that these are bad chemicals. We do not know. What is your dog in this hunt, that you must work so hard to bias the discussion?

He must be a shill for big tobacco, after all he does boast about being in his dotage. This was their exact argument. I know of zero products that when ingested are poisons but when combusted and inhaled are safe.

He is a classic troll. He tried to start shit with gentlecaveman and when he couldn't he started this specious argument.

Hopefully he smokes what he's recommending to others. I've seen far too many people on ventilators from mycological infections who subsequently died from them, much less inhalation poisons.

Where is your fear coming from? If I'm biasing the discussion so is everyone else. You berated the OP for not disclosing what was in his product to the consumer, which he did, and I called you out on. You then proceeded to change the debate to a question of toxicity based on zero studies. Who's biasing what?

Out of everything you've said today brother, that's the one thing you got right. We can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that residual PBZ in cannabis is safe but we cannot say what happens to the fraction of that PBZ that gets burned. It might be harmful and it might be in concentrations high enough to actually do harm. Nobody seems to know any more than that.

I knew you'd be back.

Be careful with logic like that..

Nicotine is potentially fatal at 60mg, we already know that daily ingestion/inhalation of .0001mg will contribute to long term negative health effects regardless of staying under toxicity levels.

There is a very big difference between substances that are poisonous at 1 ppb vs poisonous substances at 30,000 ppm

His products problems were pretty obvious. Did you see the pics?

Lol

How many do you know that get more toxic when combusted? Are you eating 178lbs of weed in a day?
