I thought that study showed that cannabis stimulated the immune system? Wich would be a good thing of course.:rasta:
Captain Hanks Reviewed by Captain Hanks on . Immune System? I have been sick with a synus(sp?) infection, and my two friends have called me and told me to "Stop smoking weed, because is THRASHES your immune system". Is this true? I have heard from both sides and I do not know. Could someone tell me a definitive answer? Edit: Also I've noticed that both of my friends are really gullable, and they do not research anything that they hear. Rating: 5
