Oh yeah? Well, if Sean Connolly told you to go jump off a bridge, would you? I'm just kidding-- it was too easy.

I refuse to believe weed is totally harmless and I know a few more stoners who would say the same thing.
Cancer is a very dangerous thing, and there have been arguments back and forth about what is worse. Keep in mind, while tar has shown to be one of many contributing factors in lung cancer, what has shown to be more prevalent in causing any type of cancer is radioactivity. Tobacco industries use polonium-210, which is a radioactive substance, to grow tobacco plants. While the FDA says that polonium-210 was shown to have no negative side affects while ingesting plants grown using the radioactive substance, it is still inconclusive if smoking such plant can cause lung cancer. Also, keep in mind cannabis users don't smoke leaves, but the bud, which contains 33% less tar, and cannabis does not narrow the air passages in the lungs like tobacco.
I know for a fact that cannabis useage, as long as it is kept to only smoking on weekends has very VERY few adverse affects. Your lungs can clean themselves and have gone through millions of years of evolution to do so, don't you think that people have been inhaling all kinds of crap over the last 30 million years or so (I have no idea how long we've all been around so correct me if you know) but my point is that our bodys can handle a little punishment.
But don't worry, everything that you do is bad for you, if you want to live long then go out in the country somewhere where there is like 2 people per sq. mile. Theres clean air there, then grow your own food, eat a healthy balanced diet and relax the fuck out. I wish I could do that for a few decades.
AAAAAAAAAAAAANYWAYS.........I would also like to remind everyone that there are several things killing each and every one of us as I type and as you read this! Car exaust when inhaled is very carcinogenic because of or little friend mr. benzene, whos also found in preservatives as benzoates, and when combined with Vit. C (ascorbic acid) produces benzene.
Theres ganjasaurusrex's whole thing on hormones and antibiotics in milk, as well as BGH and some other crazy shit thats all in your breakfast cereal.
I bet there is a SLEW of shit from cell phones and all the crazy radiation they put off.
So on the whole I REALLY don't think cannabis is all that big of a deal. Constant use, like with myself for an example, leads to an unhealthy lifesyle, allbeit and extremely fun one. I hope to god that this friday im gonna get some PUSSY, I want a girl to bang the shit out of and who wants to do it ALOT. oops, thats neither here nor there.............well whatever.
You know what HiddenBeauty I love the quote by C.S. Lewis in your signature; it's bad ass and so true.

Here's the part I'm trying to square up...
She was writting some kind of paper/report about lung cancer and its causes, and you used it as an opportunity to talk about how marijuana might prevent brain cancer and that its tar might be avoided by vaporizing.
And you don't understand how that might have been out of place?
With friends like this who needs enemies. That's what pot legalization is thinking right now...
Yeah, exactly the same situation. Jesus was crucified for promoting cannabisQuote:
