Pot Smokers--what do you think about smoking resin?

Maybe i'm an elitist when it comes to smoking, but it seems like if you need the high bad enough to hit resin you might want to start thinking about cutting back. It seems like it could be compared to someone finding all their old beer bottles and drinking the last backwashed gross little bit of beer in each bottle to get a buzz. I'm not hating, it's just a comparison I can't shake. Any opinions? Maybe i'm missing out on something with the resin.
