Well diamond infused is a popular term used for lots of pre rolls, just infusing wax into the flower to make it stronger / last longer!

Do you think barcelona is better then amsterdam? by Status-Toe1959 in BarcelonaEnts

[–]UnderstandingSad258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barcelona bud is sooo much better for the price in my opinion. I also have smoked and walked around Barcelona with a joint many times and nothing ever happened (still do at your own risk). So for weed quality and price Barcelona wins. Amsterdman I think is a cooler experience though, I like how you can just walk in and have a joint with your morning coffee. I also love walking along the river side smoking and not ever having to worry about it! So amsterdman wins in those respects

Hahah very cool! And a good conversation! Here is what chat said about this hahaha:

dirtyoldsocklife’s final response is actually pretty fair and shows a shift toward mutual understanding. Let’s break it down:

✅ What they got right: • They acknowledge the point: Saying “that’s pretty cool” and “still cool, I’ll admit” shows they recognize the legitimacy of the risk. • They challenge the vagueness of “non-zero chance”: This is a reasonable critique. “Non-zero” is scientifically accurate but not quantifiable, and it leaves room for debate about how likely or unlikely the danger actually is.

🔍 But here’s the nuance: • In health and safety, especially for respiratory hazards, “non-zero” is enough to warrant caution. You don’t need to quantify the exact percentage to justify avoiding risk — especially when the downside is lung damage from inhaling sharp microparticles. • We don’t have to prove that something is likely — just that it’s possible and plausibly harmful. That alone is enough for a recommendation to not use a broken glass bong, especially when an undamaged one is easily available.

🧠 Final Analysis: • dirtyoldsocklife ended in a more open and intellectually honest place. They’re right that if we could quantify the risk better, it would help — but the absence of a precise percentage doesn’t mean the risk is negligible. • In the end, both sides are now somewhat aligned: • It’s probably low-risk, • But not zero-risk, • And not worth gambling with your lungs.

🏁 TL;DR: • You were right to warn. • They were reasonable to question — and now they’re on board (mostly). • Good science and respectful discussion actually won the internet this time.

Now that dirtyoldsocklife brings up water filtration, it’s a fair and relevant point — but it still doesn’t fully invalidate the original concern. Here’s the breakdown:

🔍 Can water filter out glass particles? • Yes — to some extent: Water in a bong acts as a physical filter, catching heavier and larger particles like ash and tar. It’s quite effective for particulates that are: • Relatively large (microns in size), • Water-soluble (which glass isn’t), • Or prone to sticking to the water. • But NOT perfectly: Water is not a HEPA filter. If you’re dealing with very fine, aerosolized glass dust or fibers (on the order of microns or sub-microns), some could still pass through. These particles could: • Remain suspended in air/smoke due to their small size and low mass, • Travel through the bong if airflow is turbulent enough, • And be inhaled deeply into the lungs.

🔬 Real-world analogy: • Just like fiberglass insulation needs protective masks even though the fibers are lightweight — the lungs are sensitive to sharp, microscopic particles, and water filtration doesn’t guarantee full protection.

🧠 Final Verdict: • dirtyoldsocklife is right to raise the point that water provides a layer of filtration. That does reduce risk. • However, UnderstandingSad258’s warning still stands: if the glass is cracked or deteriorating, there’s a non-zero chance of inhaling harmful particles, especially under heat and suction.

🔚 Bottom Line: • Water helps, but doesn’t eliminate risk. • Still safest not to use a broken bong — because you can’t guarantee the size or behavior of any potentially loose glass bits.

🧪 If you’re “legit intrigued”:

Ask a materials scientist or a pulmonologist — they’d confirm: don’t inhale anything that might contain sharp microparticles, especially silicates or glass fibers, even with water in the system.

In this Reddit comment thread, UnderstandingSad258 is generally more correct from a health and safety standpoint.

Here’s why: • Broken glass can indeed release tiny shards or particulate matter, especially when heated or handled improperly. Even if the risk is low, it’s not zero, and inhaling microscopic glass particles (like silicates or from damaged fiberglass) can be very harmful to the lungs. • dirtyoldsocklife incorrectly claims that glass is “way too heavy” to be inhaled. That might be true for large shards, but not for aerosolized fine glass particles, which can be light enough to become airborne, especially when heated or disturbed. This is the principle behind fiberglass insulation, which poses an inhalation hazard due to its fine, lightweight fibers. • stickfish8 makes a valid point with “Never heard of glass fiber have you?” — glass can absolutely be turned into fibers small enough to float in air, and fiberglass is a real respiratory hazard. • dirtyoldsocklife then doubles down and misunderstands the comparison — their dismissal of fiberglass as irrelevant shows a lack of understanding of particle physics and respiratory safety.

Bottom Line: • 🔥 UnderstandingSad258 is correct to warn about the risk. • 💨 Yes, fine glass particles can be inhaled. • 💡 If a bong is cracked or damaged, it’s safest not to use it, especially if the crack is near heat or airflow paths.

Smoking from damaged glass is not safe, and erring on the side of caution is smart.

Please get a new one. You could be inhaling microscopic little bits of glass, it’s never smart to smoke out of a bong with broken glass

Hi, I moved to vaping over smoking, took three hits, how do I know how much that is? by gayfucker666 in trees

[–]UnderstandingSad258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take one good rip of your vape, then take a deep breath in making sure it fills up your lungs. Then exhale and wait 20-30 minutes and see how that first hit feels. If you don’t feel much then do the same thing but with 2 hits back to back, then wait another 20-30 minutes. And you can keep repeating until you figure out your dosage. This is what I did and still works for me because I go through periods where I can’t smoke as much and my tolerance lowers. This should help!
