Cannabis for Seniors: Why I Don't Smoke Joints

Here is part of why I don’t…or at least very seldom…smoke joints anymore. Risks of smoking paper: 1) Toxic Fumes: Burning paper can release dangerous fumes and pollutants, which are toxic to inhale. 2) Chemicals and Additives: Many rolling papers contain chemicals, bleach, dyes, and other additives that can increase health concerns and lung exposure. 3) Heavy Metals and Pesticides: Testing has found that some popular rolling papers can contain heavy metals like lead, pesticides, and cancer-causing chemicals. 4) Thick Paper: Thick papers are generally more harmful to your lungs than thinner papers. 5) Adhesives (glue): Poly(vinyl alcohol) in aqueous solution is used for cigarette adhesives. A study of commercially available rolling papers found that concentrations of several elements, particularly copper, chromium, and vanadium in some products, may present a hazard to frequent users. Plus, you can be assured that you are using WAY more flower smoking joints than if using a pipe or vaping. Do you need some help?
