It doesn't filter out THC, just a lot of the nasty parts of smoke, but ot THC though trust me, the posts on this thread are evidence.
^^^NORML disagrees - although i'm not gonna bother looking up the info the study they did said water filtered out more THC than tar and other nasty shit, so smoking a bong was actually counter productive. it's such a small amount that you can't notice it in your high though. but i still prefer my bong. it's a kaos too! something isn't right though. not only do i believe i get higher from the same amount of weed in a bong, but i get high quicker (i think). i dunno, maybe smoke your bong and then wait the 5 or 10 mins to feel high?
i prefer bongs/bowls and the occasional joint...blunts are alright but only if im in a large group i feel like i get just as high from bongs and bowls but i seem to get high quicker from a bong which i assume is from taking larger hits. i feel like i dont get as high with joints, its like i can get to a certain point but no matter how long/fat it is i dont get past that point so i dont usually smoke them lol
I disagree. There are studies that say that bongs filter out 100% of the THC and will convert you to Islam, although I'm not gonna bother looking up the info Although I do agree bongs filter out some THC, there is no way it filters more THC than "other shit".
bong should def. get you more ripped than a pipe... Its probably just a matter of getting used to a new piece, have some fun with it and hit it all different kind of ways.... slower/ faster mostly and just experiment (see how big a hit you can take? hehe). You've got the basics of a bong, you can take a much bigger hit from a bong than a pipe so just keep that in mind when you think you aren't getting as high as from the bong. And as for filtration, don't change your bong water for a week of smoking and that shit will be brown and on the way to black, there may be a small bit of THC in the water(even tho it's not soluable in water?),but i think whatever small amount of THC taken out is def worth whatever parts of the smoke that turn's your water brown.
ive still never smoked out of a bong... at least not a real one, ive smoked out of shitting water bottle ones and such. i do like bowls though, ive smoked out of some realllllly nice bowls.
THC is not water soluble.. therefor the chance that THC is being filtered by the water is minimal if not non existent... i would imagine no more THC is lost in a bong than what sticks to the sides of the walls of a normal pipe.. @OP.. you're doin something wrong.. 1 rip off my bong will have me buzzing if not stoned off my ass..
and it filters out a smaller, negligible amount of tar that's what the study from NORML said i remember, but i can't find it
