    FC Suggestion Improvements List

    Hey, so as suggested directly to the staff before and because through discussion we can perfect a layout of possible improvements, here are my suggestions for future updates on this forum. I will maintain this first post as per suggestions bellow if I manage to be able to edit it afterwards...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    I absolutely agree with the do everything in moderation part. Unfortunately, to be informed on what's moderation, one needs to know the consequences of administering different dosages. For example, taking morphine in moderation will greatly differ from drinking alcohol in moderation, and from...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    One curious thing, despite the weird increase in uncertainty at higher temperatures that they don't seem to justify, is that this study seems to match the previous studies(also the ones it references) where the worst cannabinoids-byproduct ratio is generally found at temperatures lower than...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    That study seems to also be pretty small scale and limited, plus if you go through it you'll see a bunch of assumptions particularly regarding: Anything that either doesn't dissolve on that mixture of ethanol and hexane or that evaporates with it is not identified in their HPLC. HPLC also has...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    Remember the difficulty here is tracking the components in the vapour that we cannot identify and how harmful they may be. Byproducts is a broad term with little value. A more harmful compound in lesser dosages may be worse than a less harmful compound in much larger dosages. That volcano study...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    We assume it is safer because we believe less known harmful compounds are released. Other than these, we do not have research to back this up, particularly long term, but it makes sense to think that while not safe, it may be better. We have no way of knowing as of now if it truly is, for all we...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    I would argue that the consistent need to simplify what's not feasible to simplify in order to represent the world, is not the new or the old but the single most consistent thing over the whole history of mankind. I think that's not a result of ignorance, but of the complete inability of living...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    Science is done by scientists, not by the entities that make businesses out of their discoveries. There is no difference between something natural and synthetic, since we're part of nature, they're all natural. There is a verifiable and replicable difference between the effectiveness of natural...

    Weed is not good for your heart, studies say

    Quite interesting, here is the article that the news post links to: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000883 I have not read with the necessary detail, but found interesting details(I DID NOT CONFIRM ANY REFERENCE): There is a lot of info on the effects of smoking...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    You are right, the decarboxylation reaction is definitely of interest to compare the psychoactive effectiveness of a given vaporizer, and there's much to it as it's known that as temperature rises the decarboxylation is faster but less complete and the there's the additional influence of the...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    Seems like this derailed a bit. For the sake of productivity I'd like to constrain the discussion with a few details. If you make a claim, you'll have the additional job of coming up with a reasonable explanation to why it is so, and most importantly a possible counter-explanation. So if you...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    @PPN Could you elaborate on what measure would you create to quantify the power of that hit keeping comparison(or differentiation) with the higher temperature hit in mind?

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    @MinnBobber Some of the studies shared here do have some interesting facts regarding that question. Also oxygen wouldn't be the best thing to compare to, as it's absorbed quite differently from THC, which would use the venue described in the post above for lipid soluble molecules(which the...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    From someone that's used to reading research papers, and given that reading that specific one brought me down to reading 29 others, which have made me loose quite a few hours afterwards on the same kind of behavior, I think it's acceptable to ask for a reference to the person who makes the...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    As such quantifiable but this is really not what I'm trying to learn more about. " Lipid-soluble compounds are rapidly absorbed presumably because they can integrate into the lipid bilayer surrounding the cells. This constitutes the “transcellular pathway” in which compounds pass from the...

    The Weird Big Cloud Question

    Correlating assumes getting to know the involved variables to take relative conclusions. The fact you do not know the exact dosage you take, doesn't exactly mean that you cannot relate how absorption happens and what are the variables that cause the most impact on that process. In that...
