I told my doctor I smoked weed

[greendove]

He shot me down and said 1 joint is as bad as 5 cigarettes lung-wise and that I wont get cancer now but I will when I get older.

What he forgot to mention is that most tobacco smokers will smoke a LOT more than most pot smokers, making the comparisson negligable. When I smoked cigarettes as a full-time smoker, I would smoke two packs a day (40 cigarettes). To get the damage, by this doctor's math, I would have to smoke 8 big joints in a day, every day. Geez, that's a lot of reefer.

If you just smoke a "J" a day, (the equivalent of 5 cigarettes), which is a pretty normal amount for modest smokers, your lungs will repair any damage you make to them pretty quickly.

I told him I know it doesn't contribute to lung cancer and isn't as bad as the government says. I explained to him how tobacco is grown with radiation in the fertilizer and how a normal person gets about 80 units of radiation a year while someone who smokes a pack and a half a day gets about 80,000 units of radiation a year and how most lung cancer is from radiation or is Rating: 5
