false pro-marijuana facts?

[koshea]

im with nullific on this one he knows his stuff. koshea what do u mean by lung problems exactly? do you smoke ciggarettes? do you exercise enough? i know smoke is bad for you in comparison to vaporizing but thers no actual evidence that proves that smoking weed can cause lung cancer because it goes down a different part of the lungs as opposed to tobacco.

i do not smoke any baccy, except in a very occational blunt (once every 2 weeks or so) and i play varsity football at my school, i excercise everyday harder that probally alot of you, and all i smoke is high quality, nearly white buds (from all the crystals) i can afford this because i sell and i can pinch a few grams off a qp

and i smoke about 2-4 times daily out of my bong (usually around 2-4 bowls a day)

ps. (most of the time i dont smoke alone)

Just some quick info for you in case it hasn't been posted or you didn't read it in High Times.

There are small particles in the plant matter in our pot that ends up in the smoke. Once in your lungs they reduce your lungs ability to clean themselves, which, if you put as much tar in you lungs as I do, is a very bad thing to have happen. But water filters it out. Score one for bongs, bubblers and vaporizers.

yeah, did u not hear that i always smoke out of my bong?? lol...

[justanotheramerican]

god i love my bong. we took a used goldschlagers bottle and made it into a bong. it is the best bong i have ever used.

ok, well i only smoke really good weed, and its always out the bong. but when i get some better weed, i dont take smaller rips of it. i would would take huge rips of any kind of weed im smokin. i think most other people do that too. so to disagree with nullific, if i smoked a lot of shitty weed, that wouldnt be worse for my lungs than smoking a lot of good weed. thats straight bullshit. i dont know anyone who takes small hits just bc its good weed. thats not getting the whole effect, that would be a waste.

Your thinknig of it on to much of a smaller scale. Think of it as bong hits, one hit of really good week will make you much more stoned than one hit off crap weed, so you will sue the bong less therefore less damage to the lungs.

How bout' a little Moonshine?

Nothing beats a good methanol kick in the morning.

no no no/////i never take just one rip from my bong though.////i can keep on packing bowls...and yes good weed. so therefore, no, not less.

and koshea man....if your only getting a few grams outta the qp your getting shitty prices dude. you should automatically have almost an ounce to smoke on and still break even.....thats just if you sell it $50 an 8th or whatever....you can always bring in about 400 an oz....so if you pay 1200 for the qp (shitty price) thats already an ounce in your pocket....sell the rest and you break even. thats the way to do it man.

Vaporizing still releases CO and other poisonous gases.
Quality of weed makes no difference to the crap released when ANYTHING is burned.
Smoking or vaporizing anything will eventualy harm your lungs.
There are no accurate figures regarding lung damage from pot therefore it is impossible to say how many secret pot smokers have been diagnosed with cancer and it has been attributed to cig smoking.
I accept the health risks the same as when I decide to emmulate Barry Sheen on the backroads where I live , YOU AIN'T GONNA LIVE FOREVER !!

The evidence stating that smoke filtered through water is 'healthier' than smoke from a joint or bong is negligable.
Some government studies I believe have been done on this, but they of course used NIDA supplied marijuana, which is shit.

Government issued and other anti-drug disinformation usually states something like "marijuana contains many of the same chemicals as tobacco smoke but in higher concentrations, marijuana smokes may be at a greater risk for developing lung problems or cancer."
This is all speculation, they leave out that marijuana smokers inhale much less volume of smoke and also that marijuana smoke does not contain polonium 210.

Im not saying no marijuana smokers have ever had or will ever have lung problems. Maybe it just comes down to the individual and is dependent on other lifestyle and location factors. Perhaps you have a treatable lung infection (which cannabis smokers are at a higher risk of getting) and should see a doctor about it.

I think whoever said at the start of this thread that there was a 25 year study on weed and vapourizers is a little confused. Where is this study? How did they get people to smoke weed for 25 years using just a vapourizer? I thought those things were only invented about 10 years ago.
I not sold on smoking weed causing cancer. Who says smoke is always bad? Chewing tobacco causes mouth and tongue cancer, chewing weed is perfectly safe. I think we have been brainwashed to think smoking anything is automatically bad. Maybe its the fact that tobacco is so bad that people have just assumed that smoking anything is bad.
I am still waitng for the proof, but since most tokers smoke ciggies there needs to be a study of just pot smokers.
