Hey 420, In response to this..
"Yeah...use a vaporizer and you can tell him you are doing NO harm. Maybe put a bunch of research literature in an envelope and deliver it to him...enlighten these doctors! I want to print a bunch of L.E.A.P. (law enforcement against prohibition) cards with some literature and links to their website and put it on cop cars. Spread the truth!
I agree 100%. I could just picture a squad car with a "legalize weed" bumper sticker on the back...LOL

smoking is a crude way to admisiter drugs.
its not nearly as bad as people say it is.
but it does fuck your lungs....he is right. it may not be 5 times per say, but its most definately bad. lol i agree with the yeag cause if you do look at your pipes/bongs you will see a LOT of shit........where you think thats goin? the lungs.
but your body does always try to get itself back to a healthy state, and if you quit for a while itll start to repair itself. or if you just dont smoke much, or smoke as healthy as possible...or administer the THC another way.
anyone up for a hash oil bath?????
and id be careful with tellin your Dr that you do illegal drugs...theyre taught that its bad in med school....and they are under quite a bit of watch from the govt since they can perscribe. ...and theyre is certain things they are required by law to inform about, but im not sure if that is one.....hopefully not....
I second that.Quote:

is it true that people who have never smoked or been in a smoking environment can die of lung cancer? only i know a boy of 21 who died recently, sporty and non smoking, didnt even sit in a pub.....lung cancer.
Ok, so nothing is absolute. But look at the chances. SOOOO low, that there's almost nothing to worry about.
It's the same for the mental health issue.
It's such a low number that it cannot be directly linked to cannabis, at all.
Hubdreds of thousands die each day from tobacco smoke, and it's very much publicised. Yet, we NEVER hear of people dying from cannabis, and that's because they dont.
I go on my own experiences, and i've been smoking from a very young age, and the weed has never done anything "bad" to me. It clears my chest, makes me breathe easier, makes me feel better in myself and whats more, i havnt got cancer yet. Personally i dont think i will, not from the weed anyway. BUT, even if i DID get cancer, it still couldnt be directly linked to the weed. I've smoked cigs since the age of 7, i recently quit but the damage may already be done. My grand mother got cancer and died and she never smoked anything in her life.
lip,
geez, smoking since you were seven, thats a young age, my gosh i am blown away, i dont think i ever saw a kid smoking fags so young, i think the youngest about 11.
do you still smoke baccy now? i have tried to smoke pure before but i couldnt cope, i like a vapourisor but love a joint.
all i have done healthwise is gone from B&H gold to Silk Cut Silver which seem to have the lowest figures on the side, it makes me feel better anyway, and i couldnt tell the difference after a week, smoke loads in the first week of changing brands, think that was my tobbacco addicition, but i seem to have got used to the low tar ones now....
i gave up smoking fags the day i quit my intense job 8 years ago, and i only ever smoke fags now if i am drunk (not oftern) or at an event i cant toot at, ie funerals weddings etc, but i really can take or leave fags and booze, i would hate to go without tooting...
Yeah, started smoking tobacco at 7 and by 11 i was smoking and growing my own weed. My older cousins had a big part in my growing. Yeah, i quit smoking instantly before christmas, went from 40 B&H gold a day to nothing, and for the first few weeks i felt like shit, but now i feel great. I supplement my tobacco now with weed, i just smoke more.
Yes I have known pot smokers who died of lung cancer but they also smoked cigs. My grand mother died of lung cancer yet she never smoked any thing. any one here know of the enviromental risk of radon gas. when it comes to cancer there are just too many factors concerned, Dr Tashkin study did show that those that smoke pot were less likely to develope cancer than non smokere altho it was an insignifacant as a factor. remeber too that studies of THC and cancer have shown that THC has shown potential as an anticancer drug beginning with the Univ of VA in 1974, Madrid Spain in 89 and more recently in 2005 in Isreal .
Good point, I never thought about that.Quote:

Federal researchers implanted several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung cancers, in mice, then treated them with cannabinoids (unique, active components found in marijuana). THC and other cannabinoids shrank tumors and increased the mice's lifespans. Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Sept. 1975. p. 597-602.Quote:

Every Dr. I've had knows I smoke pot. A psycologist actuall recommended it for anger managment problems that I had when I was younger. I thought my neurologist would freak but he doesn't care. My orthopedic surgeon won't percribe me any pain meds though he thinks I might have a addictive personality. It is true though. I've had problems with alcohol, coke, ecstacy, and cigarettes. Trying to quit cigarettes right now and it's the hardest thing I have ever done.
dam man i am seriously trying to stop smoking cigs buts its so fucking hard. I mean i smoke like 1 cig a day... but if i dont get at least 1 cig a day i get this urge to want to smoke one so fucking badly... i mean b4 i was smoking a packa day but i can deal with smoking 1 cig a day but if i go with out smoking at least 1 cig is when i get that urge.. Do you kno if those patches help? I seriously never want to stop smoking weed as i believe it wont ever give me cancer since latley i only smoke like an 8th or 2 a week but i agree ciggerates are evil little mother fuckersQuote:
