Pot smoke more harmful than cigarette smoke???

Has anyone ever heard what the opinion of legal medical users in Canada is about that Government grown pot? Trash is about the kindest thing I've heard! It is a lower potency strain, grown in a mine, for goodness sake, with chemical ferts and never flushed. It is stemmy and poor quality- so it doesn't surprise me that they got the results they did! Now if that had been some of our local California grass, it might have given quite different results!

And about the test itself- were the cigarettes the same size or weight? Tobacco companies "fluff" the tobacco by freeze-drying it, so they can use a tiny bit less in each cigarette. A joint and a cigarette of the same volume will not have the same weight! What strain of cannabis? Was the pot full of seeds and stems? Seeds are so oily that they must be giving off some "interesting" products of combustion.

And now for Granny's studies!

BBC NEWS | Health | Cannabis smoke 'has more toxins'
Anyone can post links but can you rely on the source of the info.
Pro cannabis will only give positives and anti will only give negatives.
I am only prepared to listen to the monkey that has no axe to grind and they are very thin on the ground.

The truth is that you could give people information and they will chose to ignore it if it doesn't fit thier agenda.

Nothing in this world is all good or all bad , even the best medicine has side effects.

You guys raise alot of good points both for and against weed smoke. I think the important thing is to seperate the lies from the truth and do your research, we are going to listen to what we want to hear and I think it's important to know what you put in your body. (You only have one) So everyone just remember to be safe and I appreciate all the points you've raised. :bonghit: Smoke On.

It's because we have already done the research unlike you.

What are you stupid???

I've done many many researches and posted links on a few things. I never once said that marijuana can kill you directly but the chemicals that it contains has higher concentration of tars and carcinogens. Even people that dont have any lung disorder or diseases can get lung infections such as bronchitis IF YOU SMOKE IT!!!!!!!! If you guys really like cannabis and want to avoid any problems with your lungs just use a vaporizer or make baked goods....

Thats all I have to say about it.

'Marijuana smoke is 20 times more lethal then cigarette smoke'

Now, if this is true, which i'm skeptical about, then surely the lethalness would be a lot more deadly then the current situation. How many people die from cigarettes a year and how many cannabis? That's all i have to say. Are they implying that by smoking this 'lethal' cannabis i'm going to die? Or catch lung cancer more often then a cigarette smoker, because neither are true. It's all fucking bollox, believe what you want, i know government propaganda bullshit when i see it. Cannabis is a lot healthier for you then cigarettes with many medicinal qualities, to which tobacco has 0, yet is still legal due to capitalism. Cannabis is the ONLY cure for glaucoma. Is it 100% harmless when smoked? No. Is it more harmless then cigarettes. Absolutely YES.

any smoke in your lungs is dangerous

as far as marijuana goes you put cigerette in your joint anyways theres no filter so i would say that is IS more harmful for you i agree with reefer 20 x i dont know but i would say that its more harmful for you but doctors would never diagnose someone with cancer for smoking weed its smoke in general - DOES ANYONE SMOKE JOINTS PURE i would say NO and that means its the cigerette as well who knows hey?

summary = it is more harmful

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning
:rasta:

Actually a lot of people only smoke it pure, like LIP and myself and many many more. A lot of people in England do mix it with baccy and that's the only way they know, or at least choose to use. Cannabis is a lot safer smoked pure. I'll ONLY smoke it mixed with friends...

fair play matey :thumbsup:

smoking pure joints maybe more safe obviously without the cigerette but
1. use more weed (not a bad thing)
2. does it burn as well

tried to think of more but couldnt neways it must be very smooth to smoke but i feel mixing gives it a bit more of a contrast.

but does it really matter if you dont use any cigerette coz it all comes down to the filter no filters in joints so more shit gets in your lungs. I know that there are a lot of less harmful chemicals
in a joint but a filter does filter the shit out so doesnt that mean less shit = less harm

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning
:rastasmoke:

It's funny coz i don't smoke joints by myself, i only smoke bongs or pipes. I dont have to use as much weed as a joint needs to get high alone. Having said that, joints do burn as well if they're pure, it's all in how it's rolled, not too loose, not too tight, practise makes perfect. Personally for me, i just hate tobacco and i find that if i inhale too much of it i feel sick. I'm not gonna tell people what to do or not do, because it's up to them to fulfil their own happiness, only the individual knows best in that respect. I'm just gonna keep on smokin it pure, i love one 'drug' and her name is Mary Jane. Keep on burning, Peace.

funny mate coz i do the exact opposite no bongs or pipes just joints never been into anything else maybe when i was in my teens bit more fun i guess.

as you said bro its all in the roll and the roach has to be a decent roach!

pure is cool just i smoke cigerettes not many just a few a day cant stop em tried everything but i know people who dont smoke cigerette and still use it in their joints

each to their own i guess. different flavours for different ravers

i still think that weed is more harmful than cigerette just because of the filter but its all about how much you use, everyones different so its hard to say.

can i ask you something why do people in america look at others who smoke cigerettes in disgust like their smoking crack or something, you guys in america really hate smokers (cigerettes) yes its disgusting but get over it yeh
