I told my doctor I smoked weed

[MotleyCrueBoy24]

i agrea with everything he said....i have argued for years all the tar/ resin in weed will damage your lungs over a chronic use of a lifetime...look at your pipes. your lungs must get full of resin too.

Good point, I never thought about that.

I'm quitting weed!

PSYCHEEE imp:

But still that doctor was still talking shit out his ass...especially that crap about one joint is as bad as 5 cigz. BULLSHIT!

Yes I have known pot smokers who died of lung cancer but they also smoked cigs. My grand mother died of lung cancer yet she never smoked any thing. any one here know of the enviromental risk of radon gas. when it comes to cancer there are just too many factors concerned, Dr Tashkin study did show that those that smoke pot were less likely to develope cancer than non smokere altho it was an insignifacant as a factor. remeber too that studies of THC and cancer have shown that THC has shown potential as an anticancer drug beginning with the Univ of VA in 1974, Madrid Spain in 89 and more recently in 2005 in Isreal .

Federal researchers implanted several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung cancers, in mice, then treated them with cannabinoids (unique, active components found in marijuana). THC and other cannabinoids shrank tumors and increased the mice's lifespans. Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Sept. 1975. p. 597-602.

In a 1994 study the government tried to suppress, federal researchers gave mice and rats massive doses of THC, looking for cancers or other signs of toxicity. The rodents given THC lived longer and had fewer cancers, "in a dose-dependent manner" (i.e. the more THC they got, the fewer tumors).

Every Dr. I've had knows I smoke pot. A psycologist actuall recommended it for anger managment problems that I had when I was younger. I thought my neurologist would freak but he doesn't care. My orthopedic surgeon won't percribe me any pain meds though he thinks I might have a addictive personality. It is true though. I've had problems with alcohol, coke, ecstacy, and cigarettes. Trying to quit cigarettes right now and it's the hardest thing I have ever done.
