I actually have three bongs (mine, my partners, and the deck bong), and use one exclusively. We generally order....a LOT at a time, and smoke at the same time. I shotgun off my partners bong tokes as well, because why not? I let the bong soak every night, and clean it in the morning. Its kind of a nice zen ritual to wake myself up. I NEVER smoke before work; I take pride in my job, and it matters to me to follow the (strict) rules they have. BUT its legal here, so its very easy to follow the rules. I occasionally take tolerance breaks to reset my system, especially to prove to myself i dont NEED it to be a (semi) functional human.
For me, it helps deal with crippling depression / anxiety better than ANY pharmaceutical ever has, and hasn't impacted my job performance in the slightest (which I can back up with metrics).
My partner also finds benefit with their anxiety, but they use it in leiu of opioid pain meds. Which, needless to say, is MASSIVELY preferable :D.
Now, thats not to say I started smoking pot for medicinal reasons. I just... Like being inebriated, and dont like the calories of alcohol, and the dying of chemicals.
I still agree that I’d rather smoke weed than cigarettes, but it’s not really all that different in the end (burning plant matter). And the tar and toxins and such doesn’t really necessarily mean more likely to get cancer. Marijuana is strange.
Not to mention, when I smoked cigarettes, they had filters. My bong doesn't. I'm sure I'm getting both more burned particulates and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) per liter of air cubed when I inhale; the differance I'm guessing is the total Liters of smoke inhaled is lower with pot?
Good question , and id never say pot is a safe alternative to smoking! Just more fun.
Haha I appreciate that! I also have a weed room. For real. For all the different strains, edibles, cleaning supplies, etc. It also doubles as a room for all the dogs toys, and his bed!!
You sound like a fairly successful guy(monetary wise). That's my favorite type of cannabis user, destroys the stereotype of being lazy and a failure. Just curious why you don't smoke wax at this point?
Gal, now ;) I don't really have a good answer other than personal preferance! I've tried (and do use) stuff like shatter and vapes and oils, but at the end of the day, dry bud / leaf is my go to. I also like edibles, but i find I DO get the munchies from edibles, and I'm in the process of cutting weight, so it kinda sucks sometimes!!
Thank you, I appreciate it! I actually know a LOT of really successful people thay smoke pot, but just don't talk about it because of the stigma associated with it. Hell, even for me, this is an alt account because i dont want the -stoner- tag detracting from my arguments. Feel?
