For me it doesnt sound too good to be true when you research the farming practices of tobacco & Cannabis. I believe that it was in 1988 when U.S. Surgeon General C. Everette(sp) Koop admitted that it was indeed tobacco farming practices that led to the cancer deaths associated with tobacco users. It was also 1969, when i was a young man, and we were told that by the year 2000 that we would see hundreds and hundreds of cannabis smokers invading americas health clinics with lung cancer and severe resperatory problems. None.
My suggestion to those who arent sure would be to ask them to research outside of pro-government funded studies and make an educated decision that worlks for them. Dr. Tashkins studys are a great start.
It was recently when the USA government gave the Complutense University in Madrid Spain 3 million usa dollars to do studies that proved once and for all that cannabis is dangerous with no medical benefits and caused cancer.
The results of that study was brought to us by the Boston Globe News Paper.
Mice that had brain tumors were injected with 1000'x the amount of THC it takes to get a human high(no overdose death to any of the mice). The THC injections were injected directly into the tumor.Some of the mice that had the THC injections had their tumors dramatically reduced in size. Others had their tumors completely disappear. The mice that had the injections and had tumors reduced in size lived significanly longer than the mice who had no injections. Studies were also done to show permanent harm to the lungs. It showed just the opposite. The USA government took back what was left of the 3m$ grant and shut the program down.
I am going on 50.
I have known many many people who never smoked anything but cannabis and they are alive, well, no disease.
I have also had the agony of watching a parent and several friends die as a direct result of tobacco use.
My personal opinion is in stride with the research that is presented to us by people who are in it for the truth, and not political or economic gain.(tobacco, alcohol, timber, pharmacutical, etc etc).
My hopes are that you figure out what works best for you.

dai*ma :smokin:

Too much cannabis at one time can be fatal if a bale of it drops on you.
And...... smoking cannabis does lead to acts of violence.
I saw this hippie smoking a joint and these two cops caught him and started to beat him up.
