Medical journal eh?
How many times have you read Greys Anatomy?
How many editions do you own?
Do you have any medical journals? Have you ever borrowed a medical journal?
What medical degrees or training do you have?

Just a loudmouth adolescent with a cheap Dell and an AOL connection I figure.

So shoot me.
Or tell me where to find you so I can collect that medical journal?
Beter yet, how about I shoot you and put an end to your diseased misinformation campaign.

Having dealt with arrythmia and tachycardia myself for many years and having experienced the paddles and drugs to have my heart stopped or restarted, I find your bullshit offensive to say the least.

Having studied many of these medical journals you refer to, and pharmacology journals, and psychology journals, It's just plain sad that people like you survive birth and go on to post in forums like this.

I have witnessed the destruction caused by chronic use of many substances.
I am very aware what effects these substances have on myself and others.
Reversing brain tumours, curing heart disease, or making you smarter is not a benefit you can expect from any street drug.

I have nothing against anyone experimenting with anything.
But keep it honest and try to understand the effect your experimentation has on your ability to reason.
Is it you talking? Or is what you do and think the result of your brain working around damaged neurons and rewired synapses?
How would you even know?
In your case, I think it's obvious.

Drop your balls somewhere potheaduk? You might wanna watch that or other people might step all over them

If you have a problem with the formula used on that page, then I suggest you contact eg:
http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/DrDrew/testing.html
http://users.panafonet.gr/maw/project201.htm
or the many other sites and publications displaying it, or, the mathematician or researcher who developed the equation.

Better yet, get over yourselves. Live and let live.
I'm gonna show you what they say about the lungs (Dr. Drew's site) and then show you why your site is less informative. Oh, and by the way, fuck you, for all the shit you said about me in your post.

Effects on the heart and lungs

SHORT TERM

Cannabis lowers the blood pressure, which is one reason why it both relaxes you and makes you feel light-headed. As a consequence, your heart has to beat more rapidly to move the blood up to your head, so your heart-rate increases. This can contribute to the feelings of paranoia or panic which you may feel if unused to the drug. In the short-term, none of these effects are dangerous in their own right, and if in a relaxed environment, will quickly pass as long as you haven't taken too much.
If you've smoked a lot, you may also feel a shortness of breath. Again, this can be unpleasant if you are unfamiliar with it - you may feel as if you cannot catch your breath, or that you have to take very deep breaths, and become tense and panicky as a result. If you become used to cannabis however you can remind yourself that it is just an effect of the drug and like the others will wear off over time. Take regular, smooth breaths and the feeling should pass.

Now this is what happens:

Since 1982, UCLA researchers have evaluated pulmonary function and bronchial cell characteristics in marijuana-only smokers, tobacco-only smokers, smokers of both, and non-smokers. Although they have found changes in marijuana-only smokers, the changes are much less pronounced than those found in tobacco smokers.

The nature of the marijuana-induced changes were also different, occurring primarily in the lung's large airways - not the small peripheral airways affected by tobacco smoke. Since it is small-airway inflammation that causes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, marijuana smokers may not develop these diseases.
