Joints Wrapped in Gold Are Now a Thing... Wait, What?

Shine goes on to say that most of the joint's gold goes into your ashtray instead of your lungs Bruce Kelman, a toxicologist based in Redmond who was an author on that rat study, told me that gold probably doesn't make smoking joints more dangerous, but he still feels it was a "Misuse of the study" to say that it demonstrates gold-wrapped joints are innocuous "The bottom line here is that compared to the THC and inhaling the combustion products, I don't think the gold really adds any additional significant risk," Kelman said.

If gold doesn't add any additional significant risk, does that mean Kelman himself would smoke it? No "Frankly, knowing what I know as a toxicologist, I wouldn't inhale a combustion product regardless of whether there is gold in it or not," he said I thought deeply about Kelman's anti-smoking message while I smoked my way through a joint wrapped in gold that night.

If nothing else, wrapping pot in gold makes great weed taste terrible These gold joints turned the flavor of Platinum Alien OG into a chemical off-flavor. . Source
