I know what you mean there. Well to many people we look at cannabis and tobacco waaay differently. Sure cigs have a filter but i dont see how that could be any argument for being less carcinogenic than cannabis smoke.

They throw in so much processed chemicals with the nicotine and what-not in ciggarettes while weed is just organically(hopefully) grown.
Those chemicals are what i believe causes the cancer, because i mean some people have to smoke over a pack a day for 10-30+ years to get cancer. With weed like some are saying you dont consume as much daily, and it is all raw not mixed with the companies bullshit chemicals.

I like to read Webmds articles on cannabis because i know they arent going to be thrown with pro-pot propaganda. And they have articles on both this latest canadian study AND the Pot-smoking-not linked with lung cancer, as well as the pot-kills-cancer tumors one.
Canada is totally against medical marijuana so i believe their study is skewed possibly.

Some purists, like myself, believe that tobacco ruins the flavour and therefore general experiance of smoking cannabis. A true cannabis high is through cannabis alone.

i'm not a purist as you now know, i do agree with what you say about tobacco ruining the flavour, very easy to still retain flavour by only using a tiny amount of cigerette (burns better also)

obviously using too much cigerette and not enough weed will ruin the joint, but you can get just as high mixing your zut - absofuckingloutly :stoned:

I too saw this commerical with George Strombolpejdl...something.

It was no more than a 30 second blurb that really didn't dive into much detail about these new facts.

I prefer to draw my own conclusions.

I used to be a tobacco smoker, a pack a day smoker for a good 8 years. Not a long term smoker, but quitting was still one the hardest things I have done. When I smoked, I felt like shit. Pure and simple.

When I smoke cannabis, I don't feel like shit. I don't cough up brown pieces of lung butter anymore.

I just weighed the pros and cons I guess. I just see more studies of people getting cancer from smoking. Not once have I heard of anymore getting cancer from cannabis lungs only. Until I hear about it or see it, then I will start to believe it.

Perhaps cannabis does have harmful toxins like tobacco, but whatever is giving people cancer, is in tobacco and not the cannabis.

Tobacco pisses me off. Here they are doing studies on how cannabis is bad for you, yet 200,000 in Canada alone, close to a million in the US, die from tobacco every year. :wtf:

Makes no sense to me.

I suppose that im a purist then, I would never think to add tobbacco to my pot. Ick.

Went fishing a couple days ago, have NEVER smoked a ciggarette, only weed, took a drag off of a cig, and inhaled it, I coughed like a bitch!! Cigarette's are WAY worse on your lungs for you
