Physics teacher tried to claim weed was bad for you

What your teacher is saying is that if you live in warm climates, you're gonna have respiratory problems. The Weed is just a metaphor.

I don't know where he'd get that information from.

You guys realize that smoking.. ANYTHING.. not just cigarettes or pot or cigars.. IS bad for you...you ever see the resin buildup on the inside of your bong??
After years and years of use.. your lungs WILL show signs of abuse.

The argument of course.. is that out of anything you can smoke.. pot is probably the one with the least amount of carcinogens.

So if you're going to smoke anything.. smoke pot.

I'm a toker but I have to admit that smoking anything just isn't healthy for your lungs. I gave up cigarettes 5 years ago for just that reason. However, I don't smoke nearly as much weed as I did tobacco. I was a pack to a pack and a half per day man. Remember, all smoke contains carbon monoxide which is a byproduct of combustion. Let's enjoy our habit but don't pretend it's healthy. Shit, if it was healthy it probably wouldn't be as much fun. I guess that's why they call it a "vice"!

Yeah, just forget all the benefits.

Tobacco and cannabis smoke contain the same carcinogenic compounds - and depending on which part of the plant is smoked, cannabis smoke can contain more of them - but, whereas nicotine activates these carcinogenic compounds, THC has been shown to inhibit them in mice cells. THC is very likely to have protective effects against the carcinogens present in smoke in humans too, but cannabis smoke remains nonetheless carcinogenic.

Well said.
If smoking was "Healthy" for you.. then why would they stop advertising cigarettes not to mention just another reason to keep pot illegal.

i hate that shit when people dont even know there facts and all they can say is "drugs are bad" okay you got some more evidence for me smart one.

[Blowboy]

I once heard THC opens up your veins whereas nicotine makes them narrower.
Can't remember where I got it from, probably because of the THC
Can anyone back this up?

[are you kind]

i think that has something to do with your airways. like i know asthmatic people that can't smoke cigs but weed makes them feel better
