I don't have any fond memories of taking a draw off a stinky joint. My memories are with the people, the atmosphere, music not the j. It was the best thing I ever did when I stopped combusting cannabis. If you continue joints you won't get a clean high from vaporizing. Need to stop the "j"s. After all this place does say Fuckcombustion.
Thanks to all that have helped us stop the wear and tear on our lungs. We will live a longer life because of it. My dad had emphysema from cigs and died trying to breathe. He had actual holes in his lungs.

Rolling is definitely a consumable art which is always the best haha.
But what I've realized as time has passed is that I can't enjoy joints the same cause as a whole my awareness of my health and body has just increased so much in the last few years that really I just never used to notice the smoke effecting my health at all. Nowadays more than likely if I smoke a joint or a couple bowls I just feel lightheaded and wake up with a sore throat and can definitely feel the wear and tear on my lungs instantly. But sometimes we all do things unhealthy. I don't see it as any more gross than eating a big Mac honestly lol, the joint is honestly probably better for you haha. Anyways my point is its a general health thing. If you're not that in tune with your body or its something you do on a regular basis your body isnt going to give you the warning signs that you're doing something unhealthy. But that doesn't necessarily mean not to do it, it's just good to be aware of the choices we make. So my line personally is to roll a joint and smoke one maybe once every couple months or take one or two hits from a bong every other week or so for the general satisfaction of inhaling fire/nostalgia and because the pros and cons just balance out for me at that frequency of smoke inhalation.
Rant over lolol

I've never enjoyed joints. Even when I combusted, my friends and family have always been glass piece kind of people. I have never liked the idea of smoking paper, the roach end gets wet from the resin and maybe from lips too if one of you is a slob, and ends up hard to smoke. Joints to me have always been what you do if you need to be able to eat or flush whatever you're carrying.
A good social toke is just as good no matter how you're partaking. Everyone has good memories with everything from a shitty metal pipe to 3 ft bongs or makeshift devices like gravity bongs. Hell, some of the highest I ever got was on shitty Mexican schwag smoked out of a foil pipe rolled with a pen I had for school, because youth is just a great fucking time all around.
Doesn't mean I'm going back to that. My fond memories are of the good times with people I care about. I still have those good times, nothing was lost except the garbage in my lungs.

Given the fact that here in Europe most people dont even know what a vape is and 90% of the people smoke joints with tobacco Im thinking a bit different maybe. To me vaping most of the time and still sometimes enjoying a joint or its advantages or just for ol' times sake seems a lot healthier than smoking tobacco on the daily. Uggh, people even put tobacco in their freaking bongs here 
This probably has to do with my limited vaporizer options. I have a Magic Flight Launch Box and a PAX, both not very good in groups bigger than 2/3, one of them beeing horrific to use with people who dont know proper technique or get frustrated because "its not working" (I have a few close friends who know the LB technique to a decent degree, but using it with someone who doesnt know vapes at all, or never used a LB before is very frustrating and might even lead to combustion.
You can give anyone a joint
When Im using cannabis outside, there are always some activities where I prefer to not have a vape to carry with me all the time, wheres a joint would be gone. However those happen rarely.
Thank you!
I can definitely understand that point of view. Really glad you brang up the big mac example, was the first thing that came to mind for me too.
Agreed, but this also is due to limited vape options as I stated above.
I think passing around a vape kicks a joint in the ass every single time. I won't inhale that shitty smoke into my lungs for any reason but especially not to maintain some ritual.
welcome!

I had a lot of fun in my youth thinking up different ways to consume mostly hash but even after 30 or more years of smoking joints I can now say it has no more appeal to me. The first 6 months were tough and that was not because of the taste (joints already tasted disgusting after a couple of weeks vaping) but because of the ritual. Rolling, anticipating etc.
I have found that passing a vape around to non vapers does not really work. They start from a position of not wanting to like it and it does require some technique to get the most out of vaping. I think everyone has to come to that point of really wanting to stop combustion before the vape magic can happen.

I've vaped and dabbed but went full circle to end up back smoking joints. Call me paranoid but I think too many Vape companies use low grade, foreign sourced metals and I just don't trust sucking air through that hot metal. It's due time the vaporizer industry was regulated to medical and not therapeutic standards.
At this point all I like is home grown flower rolled in a leaf and edibles.

Even things like the mflb/volcano/underdog? I haven't looked into it enough but my intuition is that at least one of the companies out there is doing it right and IMO I trust hot air going through the vapes way more than I trust the chemicals used in the paper for rolling. That's just my

I have a volcano it is a great vaporizer, probably the best, but it just doesn't quite get the job done for treating chronic pain so I just use it as an aroma therapy device - it's technical intended use. I certainly agree with you about the processed papers being negative and I understand the supposed benefits of vaping vs. smoking.Even things like the mflb/volcano/underdog?

I hope I'm not speaking pure blasphemy on a site dedicated to vaporization but in my opinion not much beats the slow and relaxing delivery of thc puffing on some flower wrapped in a leaf.

It's not just the chemicals used in the paper but the toxins that are released from burning plant material. So even if one does't use papers but smokes from a glass pipe/spoon, vapor is still a healthier way to go.

Some treat it like blasphemy around here haha I mean it is fuck combustion lol. But I definitely know what you mean. We all have our own preferences and I'm glad that you're at least aware enough to make a critical decision haha. Some people just say fuck that health shit imma smoke my gasmask bong and starve ma braincells of that oxygen lol.
It just got to the point where for me the benefits no longer outweighed the cons for me and I can relate to why thats not necessarily true for you if that makes sense haha.

Ain't that the truth. For 2 1/2 months now I've been vaping only, after smoking nearly every day for many years. The other night I took one SMALL hit off a friend's one-hitter metal pipe and my throat was screwed up for a few hours after that.
I always used to avoid direct combustion (joints, blunts, pipes) altogether and opt for water pieces only, so going straight from exclusive vaping for 8 weeks to just 1 direct combustion hit was a night and day difference. It's almost to the point now where I'd rather go without cannabis at all than have to use a straight pipe (almost).

Its not only the toxins from combustion, its also the particulate count in smoke also.
I only vape these days. I tried my pipe and the taste was awful.
Now, I was at a amateur sporting event (as a participant) and outside of the Sat night banquet my buddy pulled out a joint and we definitely smoked it. Eh, I don't like smoking but it's not a religious commitment to me. So, out and about with friends, someone passes a joint....yeah, I'll hit it but personally its vaping all the way for me.

I just give them away. If someone can come up with one good reason to smoke, I'd be willing to listen

I think of joints as portable Jarz. An excellent way of transporting a set amount or a reload.

Most surfer's smoke joints.Joints are ok for a party when multiple people partake and breaking out your prized Mobius glass is just not an option. I've also seen people drop my buddy's Pax and break it. I agree with Teejay1952 easy way to transport but Vaping/Dabbing is the only way to go...
VAPORIZERS are for DORK'S.

5 year's since I smoked a joint!

Why not vape it like you usually do? Making a statement? Lol

Just a social experiment. Plus, they usually don't give away the highest quality material in those pre-rolls.

I prefer to vape earlier in the day/afternoon and smoke at night. Vaping flower is great but smoking takes me to another level

Maybe if you was to completely fuck combustion for a while, then vaping would get you to your desired level...
I know that for me, no amount of smoking would get me to where I want to be.....
I see smoke as a weak, watered down way of intaking cannabinoids....

I completely agree. No more smoking for me either :-)

if you stop smoke for a while, youll notice that you can get higher by vape from smaller amount.
you can see in this thread, people talking about it: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/micro-dosing.19915/
for your own health i recommend to try it.
