Is it safe to smoke weed with chalk in it???

Climbing chalk is mainly magnesium carbonate.

At 350 degrees C (662 degrees F) magnesium carbonate will undergo thermal decomposition to magnesium oxide, this temperature should be easly reached at the burning tip of a joint.

You could therefore theoretically inhale magnesium oxide particles in the smoke.

Magnesium Oxide is not something you really want to inhale.

However all that said, how much of it are you likely to actually inhale from a chalky joint?

I eat chalk occasionally to mitigate heart burn.  Only do it when I have no other choice even though it works 100 times better than Tums.  Tums has some kind of sweatener in it that actually causes heart burn.  pretty sure they do it on purpose to make you eat more. Just straight chalk works so much better but i try not to eat it too often because I suspect its been bleached or has other chemicals in it. Its also possible that  chalk of whatever the other shit in there is might be worse for you if burned so i would not recommend smoking it.

Heart burn mitigation is a nice benefit, have you observed any similar effects on cotton mouth?

climbing chalk is most defiantly Not the answer for cotton mouth.

considering that back in the days the gals and guys of camp 4 used to smoke weed with plane kerozen in it, I'd say you're fine...

Smoking pot is much better for you(less bad) than those adhd drugs that give you tardive dyskinesia. My nephew ended up with a really bad facial tic that has lasted way beyond the cessation of such drugs, and switching over to a THC based regimen.

Probably significantly better for you than whatever they use to make delta 8

What is your opinion on Delta 8, THC-o and THC-p?

It will be much more open to discussion once they tell us what they are using to turn CBD into Delta-8. Also, there are too many unknown compounds in the final product. Until we get to know more about it, I stay far away from it. It personally made me very sick the first time I tried it and I'm no novice to the consumption of its close relative.

On a related note does anyone have a reccomendation for a solid windproof lighter / torch lighter? Like something you can use on a chairlift or in moderate blizzard conditions. I'm proficient with a Bic but looking to step my game up. Thanks!

Zippo.  when I was in high school we prided ourselves in being able to seed, roll and smoke a doobi while on the killington summit chair. Old yellow doubble that went from base lodge to summit . ages before the K1.  I never had a zippo untill last year.   its great!  in 1976 I had a bic lighter and it got the job done.

don't use a zippo or a torch to smoke ganja. Or bic lighters, what a waste. I like cricket refillable lighters.
