Some serious smoking tips to try be more healthy I wish I'd been told (TLDR at the end)
I love weed and have been smoking for about 3 or 4 years now, but recently I've noticed so many stoner posts where people clearly haven't researched anything about weed its long term effects or eveb given a second thought about their health, its kinda frustrating tbh. So here's what I've learned in my time smoking that I really wish someone had told me when I started smoking.
1. If you use bongs CHANGE THE WATER DAILY and wash it after every use, changing the water is essential for a fresh toke and also bacteria builds up in dirty Water very quick so unless you want some infection just clean the damn bong. Cleaning is also essential for this reason and unless you want ro cough up resin and damage your lungs, clean ur damn bong.
2. If you like coffee and weed TRY TO CUT DOWN COFFEE and/or your weed use together, both caffeine and smoking irritate the stomach lining and have caused me awful acid reflux issues and bloating. If ur smoking long term and do this I guarantee you'll end up with some sort of gut health issues.
3. TRY DRY HERB VAPES. I cannot stress this enough if you're trying to be abit healthier when smoking or just want your weed to last abit longer, or want to make edibles as you can use the cooked weed after vaping jt for edibles. I made a half ounce go from lasting 2 weeks in a bong to 3 ½ weeks vaping.
4. TRY CUT DOWN BEFORE BED, we already live in a fast pace world where getting sleep can be difficult but if your addicted like I used to be honestly just cut down before bed or you're practically guaranteeing you won't get any meaningful sleep (it's a fact you don't get REM sleep under the influence). I've taken a break for 2 weeks today and I've had amazing dreams and fulfilling sleep every single day since I stopped. (If you have a sleep condition and weed is the only thing that helps do your thing but otherwise you're probably just so used to smoking u think it helps but it really doesn't)
I could think of more but this'll probably die in new anyway.
TLDR; 1. clean your bong water and wash the bong to help ur lungs (ice cubes for bonus points) 2. Try cut down coffee/caffeine intake with smoking cause both irritate the stomach lining and you'll likely end up with stomach issues long term. 3. Try dry herb vapes if you want to make edibles or want to make your weed last longer while possibly being one of the healthiest way to inhale weed compared to smoking. 4. Cut down weed before bed if you want REM sleep (what ur body needs) and dreams.
