what are those bong-like things called which don't release any smoke, or very little at that. i can't remmber the name for the life of me. you suck on the thing but it uses water, or some different system.
if you know what i mean or have used one, are they any good...

LAZY_VAPORISER
It's called a vaporiser.
Warning: you don't realise how much you have smoked until it is too late!!!

i strongly doubt that they are "safer."
then again, what is meant by "safe"? current research says that smoking cannabis does not cause lung cancer.
your best bet is to smoke in moderation, and smoke high quality weed. grow it yourself if possible.
if this is a small, sealed, hand-held water pipe, i'd say that it will probably have problems with clogging. if it's made of plastic, you may not be able to clean it with alcohol without damaging the plastic. alcohol is best for cleaning up tarry residue.
if you're worried about inhaling irritating particulates along with your THC, you could invest in a vaporizer, tho i've never used one and they seem to get mixed review and supposedly are expensive.

If you are concerned about your health, id advice you not to smoke weed/anything at all. (unless you have arthritis that is)

I have friends that started smoking weed when they were 13/14, and ten years on, they're really dippy, boring guys.
It's basically a tranquilizer. Taking them all the time isn't such a great idea, either.

You can kind of make your own semi-vaporizer with a lightbulb, drinking straw, pen, cokebottle and a knife. It's very easy.

i had one with a glass-bowl and it sucked.
the metal bowl ones seem to work okay, but i'm told they can be pretty precarious just because you can burn yourself pretty easy

theyre safer because you're not inhaling smoke, you're inhaling just thc vapor, it's done with out fire and at a specific temperature to avoid any burning

i think the *presumption* is that it's safer, but my question is, what are the risks of smoking cannabis? if you believe that thc is harmful to the brain and nervous system, then a vaporizer is not "healthier."
on the other hand, research into the potential for increased risk of lung cancer among cannabis smokers has shown that there apparently is *no* increased lung cancer risk. if there is no increased risk of lung cancer (presumably the risk likely associated with smoking pot), then there is no health benefit to investing in a vaporizer.

Vaporizers suck. They don't get you as high. The ones I've tried have a metal bowl with a large glass casing around it and a plastic tube to inhale through. It's a waste of weed.
Oh and weed isn't dangerous. "associated with depression and other psychological problems" has nothing to do with the weed but the person who already had psychological problems to begin with and lazy people who don't go outside enough and exercise and socialize use weed as an excuse for their already existing problems.

yeah, exactly, weed can help bring psychological problems to the surface, that may have lay dormant beforehand - therefore, it's dangerous

Weed can buggar up your life as much as alcohol if you let it. I'm not saying no one should smoke it, but to say that it's totally harmless in all cases is wrong. I've suffered short term memory loss, and temporary ADD for up to a week after a heavy weed session.

The short-term memory loss things is quite unnerving. Somebody went to great lengths to explain to me once that a cake they had baked had nuts in it, and I'm allergic to nuts. Five minutes later (I happened to be somewhat under the influence at the time) and I put the cake in my mouth, only to spit it on the floor (luckily, or unluckily, depending on your perspective.) I have no recollection of them telling me about the nuts; only a memory of their disturbing rant about how they "had told me quite clearly about the nuts."
That will perhaps be the most shit, boring story you've ever read. Sorry.

Yeah, I mean short term memory loss days after. I would get stoned on Friday nights after school with my mates, and then on the following Tuesday or whenever forget to go to lessons, forget things I had been taught in class five minutes before, forget conversations with people....
And without the weed I was a pretty organised student.

i have a close friend that is a heavy weed smoker and he is a Ph.D. another close friend is a heavy smoker and just about to get his Ph.D. I myself am a moderate weed smoker with a college education and a career as a research scientist.
i'm just saying, it really depends on the person whether or not they can function in society, even excel, and be a pot smoker.
