killerm8r said:"if you can eat it, you can smoke it"? Seriously? That's like saying "if you can eat it, it's good for you". I love Twinkies, and I'll probably keep eating them, but I'm not going to pretend it's a smart move on my part when I scarf one down.
Let's ignore for the moment that the human body is significantly better designed to deal with unwanted substances introduced orally compared to via the lungs. Anyone who's ever smoked knows that smoke is an irritant to the lungs and mucous membranes. Exactly how harmful it is is something for a separate debate, but the central point is clear:
Simply because something can be smoked doesn't mean it should be - just as because something can be eaten doesn't mean it should be eaten.
I'll use cheap fertilizers on vegetables. But my lungs are a hell of a lot more sensitive than my digestive tract, so I use better ferts on anything I plan to smoke.
Think about it. Chicken is good to eat, but would you inject dark meat in your veins? How about firing up a drumstick and inhaling the fumes?
Different routes into the body have different requirements. If you're going to smoke it, you gotta watch what goes into it. If you put unnecessary or harmful crap into your bud you're gonna end up with it in your lungs, and your lungs can't simply move the bad stuff down the line the way the stomach can. It stays there.
