Fight lung cancer i heard...

[Kryzco]

I've always liked weed for the fact it can't kill you, no hangover (i've never had one, and if I did there were certainly no complaints), lasts a good amount of time, and its safe, plus the medical benefits are astonishing!

Everything you have said above is true, but go ahead and add this to the list...

Benefits:

helps with vision and fights off glaucoma
lowers headache pressure
lowers cholesterol
clear lungs of dirt and smoke and opens your lungs like a dialator
stimulates your immune system
decreases pain
supresses nausea
helps mutiple sclerosis
helps lower the risk of heart attack
raises your conciousness level
helps you become more creative and to find uknown answers to problems

many more i can't think of at the moment...

Where did you hear half of that stuff? Is there proof? I've never heard lots of that stuff and I just wanted to know if theres sure proof of it.

I don't think smoking weed is good for your lungs in any way but agree with about 2/3 of that list. I should check my cholesterol today and see.

That may be one of my favorite things. Smoking brings people together, regardless of age, race, social status, interests..it helps to forge connections between people that would have NEVER spoken to one another if it hadn't been for weed. Young, old, white, black, Asian, gay, straight, male, female, Dutch, poor, rich, criminals, generally law-abiding citizens, Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives...the use of cannabis transcends all that. It brings us together as HUMAN BEINGS, in my opinion.

However, Captain Hanks, smoking marijuana does NOT "clear lungs of smoke and dirt". It adds to it. While it is true that weed smoke dilates the tiny little holes in your lungs, making you breath slower and deeper, as opposed to tobacco smoke, which closes them up, it would be idiocy to say that smoking weed is GOOD for your lungs. It's not. It's harmful, though to a much lesser extent then smoking anything else.

So true!!! Alot of the folks i smoke with i'd have never spoken to had it we had not got high together!
I love the way it brings people together, opens and expands your mind. Just such a shame so many people are against it!

^^ Its so true that weed brings people together I've meet some pretty important connections to even jobs and other careers just because of smoking a joint with some people. If it wasn't for the joint i would have had no reason to stop to talk.

Also weed keeps you tight. The only friends i've been able to stay really close with even after moving to different places far away have been the ones i use to blaze with. When ever were all back in our hometown for christmass or whatever we'll always meet up for a joint and just like it was 2 or 3 years ago.

Weeds just to awesome for one reason that it brings so much joy to people's lives. Just the fact that weed can help you when you feel stressed and keep you enjoying life will add years to your live. All health problems start somewere and stress causes a hell of a lot of them.
