Someone told me that when you eat marijuana makes holes in the lining of your stomach.:spew: Anyone, know anything about this? Also I have heard multiple times that smoking it wears away at your throat very fast. Would vaporizing do the same?:?:

I have been eating it in baked goods for a long time and no signs of any perforations in my stomach lining. Maybe if you ate it raw for a long time you could get bound up do to indigestible fiber, but that would be about the extent of your problems.

You are correct that your throat can get raw from smoking it if you are not processing the smoke through water or other cooling method. Using a water pipe can definitely ease any "dry-throat" that the smoke could cause. Keep in mind that even when using a bong though, the smoke is still heavily laden with particulate and your lungs will work to expel it. Smokers cough is very common.

This brings up the vaporizer. It is not the end all as you are still breathing in air with particulate matter, just not tar laden. My doctor has said that it is a "safer" way to use cannabis, but that eating is the safest in terms of physical reaction by the body.

Also, and this is subjective, the high from eating tends to be stronger and longer lasting. For me, it takes what would normally last a few hours and extends it to five or six. This is great if you are treating multi day migraine.

LOL.

Did your parents tell you this? Or health teacher?

Weed is WAY less harmfull on your throat than cigarettes, i think breathing in car exhaust for a few sec's is worse than smoking a joint. Living in a high-traffic city is probably more a danger to your health than weed, speaking of the toxic stuff in the air.

No, it doesn't tear holes in your insides. Think of all the sharp shit you eat. Doritos, pretzels, etc.

Weed only gets you REALLY high when you eat it. That's the only side effect I've had.

When I have ate it, it has always been raw. So I am sure that is no good. Would hot tea be a good method of ingestion?

I am a fan of making chocolates. One piece heavy with bud can last up to 7 hours. Smoking at most does 3. Also eating for me gives a more mellow high that i am able to still function.

I smoked catnip before. It gave me a buzz. Do you think it was all in my head? Other people told me that they did it and never got a buzz. I had to smoke alot to get a buzz though. Then again, this one guy suppossidly ate 2 ounces and didnt even get a buzz. An old person was his witness.

I have a genetic issue that gives me mild ulcers and canker sores when it flares up. It's never been bad enough to demand medication, but there are times when I go heavy on the pepto in hopes of helping my oft-upset stomach. It hasn't happened lately so I completely forgot about this myth.

Basically, my doc says no, and when you think about it, it wouldn't make any sense. Why would the oil from a relatively inert herb put holes in your stomach? THC and the other compounds that give weed it's oh-so-notorious nature don't do anything anywhere else in the body except the brain (as far as we know) so beyond that it's practically hemp oil, which would be comparable to really nasty vegetable oil. It is just another plant.

SO maybe it does, because of it's current status there's no source of research you can trust. In light of common sense however, I do not see why it would be any different than say, eating something with olive oil in it.

Ultimately, an ulcer is probably not going to kill you. I would say, hey, try it, and if you don't start having pains that feel like a hot iron is being driven slowly through your abdomen, then everything is fine.

If it happens it probably wouldn't kill you anyway and you aren't physically addicted, so just don't do it again. Weed is great because it's not forever. If it fucks you up, just don't use it again. It won't drag your ass through a pit of hot coals if you stop using it, as i'm sure you're well aware.

But olive oil is good for you
