why marijuana is better for you than alcohal

first off, to shai hulud, i never said thc is toxic. there are over 60 cannaboids in cannabis, as far as i know non of them are toxic. its the other 200+ negative chemicals in the plant itself (when burnt) that are toxic. when any plant is burnt it gives off toxic fumes, so use a vap and save yer lungs guys. but then u say that no one has ever died from weed. i remember reading a thread started by koesha (i think it was) a few months ago saying his best friends dad, who never smoked tabacco and only smoked pot (heavily) was diagnosed with lung cancer. just because there havent been any recorded deaths, doesnt mean there havent been any. and has anybody on here even checked any medical archives to make sure no one has died from the herb? oh and refer rouge, r u a doctor, no, didnt think so, if the medical professional who have done studys on this say that sucking on a bong for year after year can cause emphysema, i think i'll listen to them over you. also if im a narc, im the first pot smoking narc ive ever heard of! and dumptruck, of corse the heart can eventually become tired, IF its overused. i love pissing you guys off

haha honestly Seag420, you do your job well :p

i do try!

this is a pro cannabis board.. not a board where we compare the negative aspects of marijuana... if they are any that is...

Seag420,

I know that smoking anything, including cannabis, is not conducive to health. I think most people on this board would accept that. Vaporization/eating/making tea greatly reduces the toxins in cannabis. I'm sure this isn't complete elimination, but honestly who cares? People imbibe small amounts of toxins ALL THE TIME. In their drinking water, in the pesticides used to make their foods. Whatever.

The point is not that there are absolutely positively zero negative consequences of toking up every day for twenty years. The point is that it is almost infinitely more healthful to do this than to do the same with either tobacco or alcohol.

I have actually tried to find some cases of death-by-cannabis and have been pretty unsuccessful. Everything I've found, with the exception of one case, involved a mixing of drugs or indirect cause of death such as a car crash while under the influence. The one exception I mention involves Lee Maisey, who died at 36 after 11 years of smoking about six joints a day. The coroner was unable to find a cause of death and so claimed it was "probable cannabis toxicity." Other people reviewing the case said it was not a valid conclusion to pin the death on cannabis.

The fact of the matter is, if cannabis is as deadly as all the narcs say it is, there should be some deaths directly resulting from its use, and there aren't any.

LOL if the heart is over used, you're chattin such bullshit. Do you know how many times your heart beats a day? I'm not a doc, so i wouldn't know ;) By the way it's Reefer Rogue, get it right. This thread is about why Cannabis is better for you then alcohol. It's already been proven many times in this thread so i'm not gonna waste my time. Link me to this 'medical study' where it says sucking on a bong CAN cause emphazema, not WILL. If you do actually smoke, then chill out, stop trying to wind people up, admit you're wrong and smoke a bowl. Peace.

Just to let you know, water bongs filter about 30% of what you smoke, so it's a pretty good filter system. Also, look around for yourself. There are NO recorded deaths/diagnosis of cancer purely from just marijuana use, heavy or not. NO ONE HAS "DIED FROM THE HERB", and Koesha's best friend's dad did not get lung cancer solely from smoking marijuana.
Remember, cigarettes have RADIOACTIVE ingredients, which marijuana does not have. This is probably a big reason why marijuana doesn't cause cancer like cigarettes do.
And no, the heart does not wear out from smoking marijuana. Saying that it does is not only an unfounded claim, but an absurd one at that when your argument is based solely upon "Oh, your heart rate quickens. so therefor for heart gets tired and says fuck you." If this was true, then joggers would be dieing left and right. And as for them getting more oxygen while RUNNING than I do while SITTING? Untrue. The oxygen they DO get is going to use keeping their muscles going good.

Just smokeith it. Its natural, it hasnt hurt me at all the last two years, but incase, i'll vaporize it? Are we all done preaching the goods and bads?

sorry about me bitchin the past few days, but i'll put it down to the fact this is the longest ive gone without the sweet sweet cheeba in, well in 6 or so years, so my apologies. lets just hope im wrong, and your all right

oh and reefer rouge, happy birthday, its mine on saturday
