Bong Water: Does It Get You High?

No matter what anyone says, I'm not drinking my bong water. The rational that you are simply drinking things you would have otherwise inhaled is seriously flawed. It certainly IS NOT the same, as one of the primary reasons people smoke bongs is that they are INTEDED to filter out some of the crap you don't want to inhale. you are completely eliminating ANY positve health reasons for using a bong to begin with, and depending on how old the water is, you may be taking MORE risks, as god knows what can grow in old bong water. Have I tried drinking bong water? NO But....that doesn't mean that I can't see that its a rotten idea. Having seen people puke from only a small swallow of it is reason enough for me to think its a bad idea. Add in the fact its gotta taste like unwiped butt judging by the smell, and that there are possibly unforeseen health risks involved, I won't be trying it anytime soon, and cannot fathom anyone I smoke doing it either. Theres this thing called 'common sense" and anyone who drinks bongwater is seriously lacking any of it.

use vodka and it may absorb soem of tha thc

If the vodca asborbes the THC then you are not going to inhaling it. I'm not sure about how good inhaling alcohol vapor is. Alcohol is a toxic to the human body, not toxic enough to kill you but it mess you up when you drink it. Under the old school of first aid you would pour alcohol into a wound to "sterlize" it, but this practice is not done anymore (by anyone who knows what they are doing) alcohol kill's some bacteria and alot of human tissue, so we are left with a partialy sterile wound with loads of dead tissue, not good.
Back to the point, this vaporised alcohol could be pretty bad for your lung's in an extreme case it might cause some dry drowning (Pulmonary Edema).
My point is stick with water.
I use brita water so there is no nasty chlorine going into my lung's.
I would recomend changing the bong water every session to make the most out of your pot, much better flavor than old "thick" bong water (Yuck).

There are a lot of college students dead from alcohol poisoning who would probably differ with you (if they were still alive to do so).

what if you used ice water and used the bong the whole day and filterd it through some silk screen or something like that could you possibly get a tiny bit of hash? if you smoked enough ofcourse

i like the idea of "working" your way to get the hash

You'd get a small amount of cannabis resin and a lot of the nasty stuff that a bong filters out. It would be much the same as pipe scrapings.

never gotten high from it personally , it does have a slight relaxing effect on me though.

THC is fat-soluble, but not water soluble. This means that the THC cannot absorb into the bong water.

THC is in a gaseous state from being heated by the burning marijuana. As it passes through the cold bong water it condenses in to small particles which stay in the water.

**** no

i wouldnt drink that nasty poisoned water...it wouldnt get you high either. thc does not dissolve into water. maybe if you had some strong alcohol in your bong instead. would it be a tincture then? filtering your smoke through alcohol? i wouldnt want to put anything in me that has been in a bong anyway. just not a good idea overall...

i would definatly throw up

Drinking bong water does not sound like a good idea....

drinking bong water is pretty much the equivalent of eating a cigarette filter

BAD IDEA...unless, you just like getting sick and nauseous,
and then throwing up for hours. Plus, there's all that smoke particulate you've just swallowed....GROSS !!

iv done it after iv cleaned it out with a few shots of everclear, i uslly empty out about 60% of the water and mix in the shot and slosh it around then scrap down, after ward if i dont feel like wating and letting all the alachol drie off i just drink it as fast as possible. i uslly get blitz for about 6-8 hrs

A little tip for some of you....

*Get a little bubbler, about 4 - 5 inches tall.

*Fill it with enough water to just cover the bottom of the tube, about 1/5th of the way up.

*Do NOT use a screen.

*Do NOT change the water until you've smoked about an ounce through it.

*When it's time to change the water, filter your water (I use an "opened" paperclip to gather the resin on a single point then just set it on a Zigzag) and pour it into a small glass, about the size of a shotglass.

*Do this for as long as you can possibly stand it, always pouring the bubbler water into the same glass. Keep the glass in the open or in the fridge.

After doing this through about a half pound, you should have a nice, molasses-looking buildup of dehydrated bubbler water. This makes for an excellent paste to put into any of your favorite foods and because of limited number of times you changed the water, and because the bubbler is so small in comparison to a bong, there's a substantial amount of THC.

Have fun boys and girls, lemme know if you try it out.

Yeah you do get high on bong water!

Yeah it does retard, Zinger is right, bongs filter alot of the THC when using a bong, but don't be discouraged, the good thing about bongs are that they give a cleaner high! Oh and metal melitia, if you were to take a test strip that test's for THC and test bong water you will find that it reads positive, and the less water in the bong to filter your herb, the more potent the bong water will be. I know this, because I work in a lab, and we deal with lots of different drugs! So M & M, RESEARCH your shit before you try to mislead people into your BS! By the way if you have a weak amune system and the bong water is old you CAN get sick. Bong water that is more than 22 hours old will start to create bacteria and if you do get sick, take care of yourself because if not treated properley or at all, that kind of bacteria can lead to respitory problems, even though the bacteria is drank, so do be careful.

i did it once, o boy it was delicious

I just thought of something... Fear Factor is always trying to find new ways of making people throw up. Now, what about 5 month old bongwater that has been used every day for those 5 months. Now that would suck bad.

Thc extraction from bong water

If there is any THC in bong water pouring the water into a double boiler and adding butter would be the easiest extraction method. Just like making pot butter but the thc is already in the water. Heat a little for a while mixing. Then pour all into a jar a place in the fridge. The butter and water will seperate along with any extra residue. Seperate and enjoy some weed butter. Note that it will not be green butter since there will probably be no green chlorophyll left in the water since it was burnt. The problem is not knowing the thc concentration in the water and hence butter.

Personally I don't think it is worth it. It's on the level of hitting resin scrapes from a pipe. It's not that tasty. But do whatever floats your boat with your bong water. Ohh yeah it will probably smell horible during the process
