lung cancer?

from marijuana; how possible is it?

wow, i did some searching and there are some studies saying THC can inhibit forming lung cancer, possibly by killing aging cells so they do not become cancerous; very intriguing

I read a report once by a doctor and it said that it helps the respratory system because it widens the esophogus (hence why asthsma patients can smoke weed) and that the only brain cells it kills are the cancerous ones, but i have never hear any claims that it has a good effect on the lungs, it cant be all good caus i definetly developed bronchitis twice this winter and chances are because of pot!

In a study of over 64,000 heavy long term smokers researchers found no increased chance of getting lung cancer from cannabis, infact, they found the chances slightly dropped, not to mention THC can control cell division.

And THC doesnt kill brain cells, it's keeps the healthier ones alive for longer, promoting the theory that even smoking cannabis can increase life time.

If you got cancer from smoking weed - you'd be one very unlucky person.

Lets just say from a cannabis smoker only, cancer has never been linked due to using it.

Now tobacco, about 200,000 people a year in Canada alone.

This world is fucked up, and they wonder why we smoke weed.

I really need to quit smoking cigarettes, but weed doesn't worry me the slightest bit....
