A new study found that small doses of the main ingredient in marijuana, THC, can slow the progression of hardening of arteries. Hardening of the arteries can lead to heart attacks and by preventing this you lessen your risk of having a heart attack.

Now it's your turn: find something that isn't biased or that doesn't fall under the government's propaganda that shows that marijuana is harmful to the heart. Yes, I'm sure we've all seen or heard the dumb shit the government tries to fill our heads with, but the truth of the matter is there is very little legit research being done because of the drug laws.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/664296.stm. the bbc is about as anti government as you can get. also what you posted says SMALL doses of thc, alot less than we intake on a bong hit

[TheAtomicPunk]

Woah, i read that wrong. let me think...

[TheAtomicPunk]

Okay!
This is what the bbc said!

The researchers studied information on cannabis use from 3,882 middle-aged and elderly patients who had suffered heart attacks.

A total of 124 patients were identified as current users, including 37 who reported smoking the drug up to 24 hours before their attack, and nine who had used it within an hour of experiencing symptoms.

Now, out of 3,882 middle aged and elderly people, how many do you think smoke pot?
Probabley a little over than 124. So its very very likely its a coincidence

[TheAtomicPunk]

O yea, and everybody knows that Chronic increases the heart rate. bbc probabley doesnt know this, maybe they dont know those 124 people have a bad heart. And how did they smoke that?

THC isn't a poison, it is virtually non-toxic. No one has died from marijuana where as 1:1,000 drinkers will die from alcohol overdose.
Smoking marijuana is not likely to cause emphysema because the smoke does not obstruct the small airways as tobacco smoke does.
There don't seem to be any actual reports of cancer linked directly to marijuana smoking. Americans have smoked marijuana for over 60 years, though it had been used for thousands of years prior. An important difference between marijuana and tobacco smoke is that marijuana smoke lacks radioactive compounds such as polonium 210.
Those are the main reasons I don't worry about significant lung damage from smoking shrub, eventually I'll vaporize or ingest but that is not economically feasible at the moment.

econically feasible, i like that! i was looking at emphysema suposedly caused by weed a few days ago and yer right, marijuana dosent obstruct the small airways like tabacco does, however what the info i read said was that because the force at which the weed smoke is sucked into the lungs is far greater than drawing on a cig, and also the time the smoke is kept in the lungs, means that weed smoke 'blasts' hole in the lungs. this leads to a differnt type of emphysema known as vanashing lung symdrome. while the bottom of the lungs remains intact, the upper parts simply turn from avioli(healthy airsacs) into cysts where the airsacs once were. check it out on google if yer dont belive me. if that doesnt presude you to invest in decent vaporizer, nothing will!
