the point is shut up unless you can take it...

you made fun of people for getting a 4.0 and now are saying it doesn't matter?? you're ignorant!!! We're not trying to attack you, you just keep asking for it...

He said he got a 4.0 in High School, which isn't much to brag about. I never made fun of it-apparently you can't read.

There's some good info with a ton of references, seems to me there's plenty of side effects.

[eddievanzant]

Of course there are side-effects. I don't understand where the debate has gone. If you're going to argue about whether or not weed has bad side-effects, you must go to the core of the issue: someone who enjoys bronchitis wouldn't consider it a negative side effect.

[beachguy in thongs]

Someone who has bronchitis, didn't get it from marijuana.

And the debate has been the "negative" side effects. There are none.

I mean, euphoria is a side-effect. Are you guys that stupid to think that we say there are none?

[eddievanzant]

The pamphlet I'm encouraging people to spread says that marijuana can give people bronchitis, which makes sense immediately. You should provide a link to a study that proves marijuana smoking can't give people bronchitis. Obviously people can bake with it, but not everyone does, so the effects of smoking should be taken into account.

I think that Tadaa would make a very good soccer mom.

Here's Erowid:

It says, "the only prospective clinical study shows no increased risk of crippling pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis and emphysema)."

Marijuana contains THC. THC is a bronchial dilator, which means it works like a cough drop and opens up your lungs, which aids clearance of smoke and dirt. Nicotine does just the opposite; it makes your lungs bunch up and makes it harder to cough anything up.

Good. You proved marijuana can't give you bronchitis because it affects the large airways and not the small ones; however, right above that, it says this:
Frequent marijuana smokers experience adverse respiratory symptoms from smoking, including chronic cough, chronic phlegm, and wheezing.

[beachguy in thongs]

1. That's because many pot-smokers, frequent or not, also smoke cigarettes.

2. As it says, the ONLY prospective clinical study proves that false.

3. And that statement is correct, taken in the right context.
My neighbors would think that I have chronic cough. That's how I get the chronic phlegm, that causes wheezing, out.

(If you hear your neighbor cough, heavily, even a few times, every day, you'll think that his/her's cough is chronic.)

Okay, what about marijuana users' risk of having a heart attack quadrupling in the first half-hour after use?
