[QUOTE="sonar46, post: 1508049, member: 419548"] A close friend of mine is a habitual user of 20 years, 15 of those pre diagnosis as type 1. Following on from Badcat, i'd agree it's about how you administer it. The effects of the drug itself don't seem to have much conflict with diabetes as a condition. I believe there is some small evidence suggesting lowering and stabilising BG , but the effect is no-where near as strong as the post alchohol lows associated with your liver being busy dealing with the alcohol in your blood. All in my friends experience of course, a thin male of 35ish. Just gotta curb those munchies.... That said, smoking anything is so damaging to a diabetic, you need to cut that out entirely and urgently imo. However let me introduce you to [B][COLOR=#00b359]vapourisers[/COLOR][/B]. This is a totally different process to smoking (burning), whereby hot air is passed over the herb, and evaporates the active ingredients out of the plant material. This means no tar, no carbon monoxide, nicotine etc etc. Burning is a very dirty process with many biproducts. - [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoke[/URL]. The ash left behind is so much lighter, all that plant material goes up in smoke, through your lungs. Thats fibre and roughage, plant cell walls and stuff. A lot of carbon (soot). No good for the delicate spongy tissues of the lung. Vapourising lifts a thin vapour out of the herb, which you inhale. I'm told it has barely any taste, except delicious, and when done properly (without raising temp too high), has no discernible impact on throat or lungs. Just a very pure body/head high. Its also a lot cheaper, as burning is a very inefficient process. Please do all take a look. Plenty on youtube. It's also almost totally odourless btw. Not to be confused with e-cig type vaping, where the vapour is an artificial thick noxious conccoction of who knows what, with a whole industry peddling the untested rubbish. [/QUOTE]
