Favorite Marijuana Strains

[KillaCam21]

I searched for this topic, but the only discussions about marijuana had to do with legalization. Because many on this board are open pot smokers, I'd like to know what strains of weed are your favorites.

The only "headies" that I've tried are Purple Haze and Silver Haze and I enjoyed both of them. The THC levels are so high in Silver Haze that the weed is actually silver not green. I was done after one gravity bong hit of Silver Haze. Purple Haze was also satisfying, but Silver Haze really EFs you up. Unfortunately, its hard finding a connect that can consistantly distribute good weed so all I usually smoke is mids.

Opinions?

Ah, the irony. You could probably scrape all of that cancer causing, brain cell destroying **** out of your bowl with it.

I appreciate you're concern, but that isn't going to stop me right now. That's just who I am, how I am right now.

Edit - I don't have a bowl anymore.

In before the lock

Marijuana is still illegal and until it's not, it's not very wise to start threads like this. Just FYI.

If you're going to spew that crap at least back it up. Please provide a link to where it says weed causes cancer. I'll wait patiently.

As Cicero said, "to each his own." Just remember that actions are not w/out consequences, but at the frail age of 17 it's easy to look past that. Good luck.

I'll repeat show me something that says MARIJUANA causes cancer. That says that smoking marijuana causes cancer. Key word is smoking. Smoking anything is going to cause cancer. Eating it is a better high anyway. :2cents:

And i haven't read High Times in a decade.

dude, you can tell you're blazing right now.....what could possibly possess you to come on a public forum, talking about the weed you smoke? you never know who's watching, and FYI, your IP number is easily accessible, therefor making you easily accessible, when you post in public forums....:doh: :doh: :doh:

Marijuana Unlikely to Cause Head, Neck, or Lung Cancer

By Peggy Peck

WebMD Medical News

May 8, 2000 (Boston) -- Marijuana, unlike tobacco and alcohol, does not appear to cause head, neck, or lung cancer, says a researcher from Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore who presented findings from a study here recently at a meeting of internal medicine physicians.

There has been an ongoing debate about whether marijuana is as dangerous as tobacco in terms of cancer development. Daniel E. Ford, MD, tried to sort out the evidence by the lifestyles -- including marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol use -- of 164 persons who were newly diagnosed with head, neck, or lung cancer compared to a group of 526 healthy persons living in the same area. The average age of patients was 49, while the average age of the healthy volunteers was 44. The cancer patients were all treated at four Baltimore-area hospitals, and the "controls" (healthy comparison group) were selected from a large group of people living in the Baltimore area who had been participating in an ongoing study. Ford tells WebMD that he wanted to find out whether the cancer patients were more likely to smoke marijuana or tobacco or to drink than were the healthy volunteers.

According to Ford, he thought he would find an association between marijuana use and cancer, but "that the association would fall away when we corrected for tobacco use. That was not the case. The association was never there." And that surprised him because of the way marijuana is smoked: deep inhalations, with the smoke held in for effect. "It seemed natural that there would be some connection," he tells WebMD.

Based on these findings, Ford says that cancer prevention efforts should "remain focused on tobacco and alcohol, two known carcinogens."

He says his conclusions differ from another study reported recently. That study linked marijuana use to cancer, but Ford says he thinks the difference can be explained by the fact that the healthy volunteers in that study "had very, very low use of marijuana." That contrasts to his study, in which "we were investigating the effect of marijuana as it is commonly used in the community," he says. Use of all substances -- tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana -- was common among both cancer patients and controls, he says.

"We attempted to assess both lifetime and current use of substances," he says. Participants were also asked to differentiate between use of marijuana cigarettes, marijuana pipes, or consumed marijuana. Distinctions were also made between weekend and weekday use of marijuana, he says.

"Ever use of marijuana was 66% among controls and 60% among the cases," he says. "Daily marijuana use for a month or more was not associated with increased risk, nor was age at first use, depth of inhalation, or use of a pipe." Surprisingly, using marijuana was not associated with increased cancer risk, even among those who never used tobacco, he says.

During the discussion period after the presentation, several people suggested that lack of quantity may explain why no association was found, because the number of marijuana cigarettes smoked is much lower than the number of tobacco cigarettes smoked. "It is true that we can't really correlate pack-years," says Ford, "and it should be noted that about 30% of the marijuana smokers never smoke cigarettes."

While this study suggests that marijuana has no link to head, neck, and lung cancer, a multicenter study released in March at an American Heart Association meeting linked marijuana use to increased risk of heart attacks. Murray A. Mittleman, MD, PhD, director of cardiovascular epidemiology at Beth Israel-Deaconess Hospital in Boston, told WebMD that marijuana smokers experience a 4.8-fold increase in the relative risk of heart attack during the first hour after smoking. The risk returns to normal after an hour, he said.

Vital Information:

* New research shows that marijuana use is not associated with an increased risk of head, neck, or lung cancers.

* One researcher argues that cancer prevention efforts should remain focused on tobacco and alcohol, both known carcinogens.

* Although there is no evidence that marijuana smoking increases the risk of cancer, studies have shown that marijuana smokers have a nearly five-fold increased risk of having a heart attack during the first hour after smoking.

The other guy is just 17. Understandable. You, however, are 29. :no:

[Mr. Nostril]

Man only two pages and people aren't mentioning weed strains anymore.

My advice - ignore the people who come in saying "weed is illegal, and you're stupid," and just discuss the strains. I'd leave a favorite strain for you, but I don't smoke; not for any particular reason though.

Wait, wait, tell them how many people have OD'd off of weed. He'll get a kick out of that. :laugh:

Have another "gravity bong hit" then why don't you. :laugh:
