Marijuana safer than aspirin?

[BeefsMyFav]

I Just don't really agree with the part saying it make you stupid for a little time...

yeah i dont like that part either but i dont like some of the links to other articles below the article either On Marijuana | An inconvenient truth about smoking marijuana

[Revanche21]

I think this is complex question that needs to be considered in many different situations and aspects

overall I would say Marijuana might be more harmful than aspirin

but I don't want to get into the details just this second maybe later when I have time

I'm on a asprin a day regiment 325 mg coated.....along with plavix. (blood thinners) because of angioplasy with stents

I dont think that MJ will have the same effect on my blood as asprin does ....thinning it out


....as far as MJ being a treatment for pain :thumbsup: Vape on!!!


I will let all you smokers who say smoking weed isn't as bad for you as Ciggs

Well I smoked pot since I was 13.... heavily since 25....smoking weed or ciggs causes plaque to build up in your arteries...which eventually cloggs the artery causing heart attack or angina.

I never smoked ciggs only weed

Plaque? Like the stuff that forms on your teeth when you don't brush them?
Since when is there plaque in smoke? There's tar in smoke, idk about plaque though. Also, how exactly would plaque be able to travel from you lungs to your arteries? This doesn't sound very true.

i'd like to quote the great Katt Williams to answer this

"people say weed is bad, but you can take 13 of them aspirin and itl be the last headache your ass will ever have!!"

theres alot of info on the net:thumbsup:

Clogged Arteries (Arterial Plaque)

I know cigg smoke and weed smoke are different.....main difference is nicotine

Nicotine May Be Bad for Arteries

One of the main problems medical science has with cannabis is the smoking aspect. Go figure.

[LegalGanjaNow]

I do not know why we can not choose our way of taking medicine, or what medicine we wish to take. I do think MMJ is better then asprin if you do not have much to do, that is. On the driving thing many people actually drive better while high, like my father he usually drives fast and rides other peoples rear end, but when he is high he does exactly the speed limit and is a much safer driver.

Basically what I got from those articles is, cigarette smoking may increase the rate of atherosclerosis, and nicotine can cause plaque buildup. Now this for one, has nothing to do with weed smoke, being that it does not contain nicotine. There's nothing in there about smoke in general causing plaque buildup.

Chemically, marijuana and tobacco smoke are quite similar, aside from their psychoactive ingredients: both arise from the combustion of leafy material, which produces a host of noxious gases and solid particulates, or tars, that are known to be hazardous to respiratory health.

Dating back to the British Indian Hemp Drugs Commission a century ago, observers have noted a high rate of bronchitis and other respiratory diseases among chronic ganja smokers in India, Jamaica and elsewhere;3 however, interpretation of the data has been clouded by the subjects' high rate of tobacco use, making it impossible to determine whether cannabis itself was responsible. This issue has been resolved thanks to modern clinical research by Dr. Donald Tashkin at UCLA, who has followed separate cohorts of marijuana-only, tobacco-only, marijuana-and-tobacco, and non-smoking subjects. Dr. Tashkin's work indicates that heavy daily marijuana smokers are more susceptible than non-marijuana smokers to respiratory disorders such as coughing, bronchitis, impaired lung immune function, and potentially precancerous cell changes.4

Vaping/oral injestion is the way to go...if your going to get high or take medicine daily..... might as well do it as healthy as possible.

The argument being legalization for medical reasons...why absorb weed/ medicine in a unhealthy manner........Vape ON!!!:vap_rasta:
