AWOL (alcohol without liquid)
« on: November 04, 2006, 08:38:36 AM »
Saw this on TV last night. It is an oxygen machine with a nebulizer that's filled with your favorite shot of alcoholic beverage.

It made me think - hmm... it's a flammable liquid that's been vaporized and intentionally added to a highly oxygenated environment. In addition, it is being used in a setting where there is probably an open flame (candles for ambience, or lighters for cigs & cigars, or both).

Does that sound a bit dangerous to anyone but me?

Might give new meaning to the term "black lung" after a little flame travel there...

A personal fuel-air bomb.  Nice.  Could be fun for a parlor trick.

Okay, I once knew a guy who had a friend, and the friend's brother knew this kid who had an uncle who was a midget.  undecided

The midget told us he lived in a dorm back in the '70's, and they used to do something called Gin Bong Hits.   shocked
Apparently, as the story goes, they would smoke Kingston SuperSkunk with the big purple buds in a water pipe...except instead of water, they used a high-proof gin.

To hear him tell it, there was some kind of synchronous affect with inhalation of the alcohol fumes and the ganja that left the participants well, drooling, and a little...close to paralysis.  cool

I can't comment on these experiences, 'cause I wasn't there or anything, but he used to tell the story in a hushed tone as if there was some reverence for the legend.

You'll just have to take it with a grain of salt. 
Or, a shot of gin.

Tetrahydrocannabinols are alcohol-soluble, thus, filtering the smoke through gin would in theory be an inefficient method of getting high, because the active cannabinoids would become trapped in the bongliquor. But, I don't know from personal experience, and I'm sure would at least be minimally effective in terms of THC delivery.

It would be interesting to find the dosages of evaporated EtOH required to produce effects.

darn! I should have tried that back when, of course I would have had to drink
the bong alcohol too (waste not want not)

Pretty much spot on. In my last job, one of our products I made was purified synthetic Delta-9 THC- we dissolved the material in absolute ethanol for handling it. The solution smelled absolutely delicious, I dubbed it 'The Magic Elixer.'  cheesy

This could be pretty dangerous if it catches on. Alcohol has a certain self-limiting factor (one typically gets sick before the dosage becomes too dangerous). With no nausea a person could consume a fatal amount of alcohol pretty easily without knowing it. Imagine what would happen if one of these machines got into a frat-house.
