is weed healthy?

peole day it is, i dont know tell me what you think.

 

Well, here're my feelings about it: http://68.116.22.26/Marijuana Decriminalization.html

 

Smoking anything is unhealthy. But with smoke aside, marijuana has a lot of medicinal value, so yes.

 

IT hasnt given me lung cancer or emphizema...and ive been smoking pretty close to a decade now.....i surf...i run....i bike......and im as healthy as an oxe......It may... but I have yet to feel any negative effects....accept smoking to much bud and passing out....haha......peace

 

the smoking part is unhealthy, the drug part is the safest therapudic drug known to man, and has no physical sideaffects wahtsoever.

 

So true, but the prescription drug industry likes to bribe the government into saying otherwise. Also, the tobacco industry came up with this "fact" about a joint equaling a pack of cigarettes. That's funny, I've never heard of anyone acquiring emphazima from smoking a joint a day...

 

yer i dont understand that, i alwyas find cigarettes make my lungs feel so much worse. i think theyve jsut found one chemical that is in raw weed much mroe than tobacco, and attributed that as the only statistic

 

so in theory one of them smokeless pipes would make pot healthy?

 

if you smoke with a vaporiser, then yes, it is healthy. well maybe its more.. not unhealthy

 

The smoke from marijuana can actually help clear your lungs of more harmful pollutants like tobacco smoke, and just your average pollution. So, it's not too bad. Especially if you filter tar out with a water bong. That not only clears your lungs of other pollutants, but since you're getting more THC, your bronchial passage ways are also expanding making it easier to breath.

Yea I've heard that pot is a bronchial dialator, in that it opens up your lungs (The opposite of what cigs do). I have asthma and smoking pot doesn't even make me wease.

 

you know whats wierd sagaciouskjb2? i have been smoken joints for..4 months, and i have trouble breathing! i dont get it, i have noticed a change in my breathing , i breath heavier, is it because im not smoking through a water bong? and i heard weed kills many brain cells? is this also true? well thank you so far for the info keep on filling this thread.

 

Depends. Define "healthy".

 

TWEAK. sorry. It might kill braincells, thats the only thing I dont know. But about the only thing it does do thats bad is like......emphasezma(cant spell) but theres not even a big chance of that and memory loss. pretty much it

on a lighter note, you wont have or will be cured of or just kinda helped with glaucoma, cramps, insomnia, anorexia, chemo, cancer,(chemo for the side effects) aids, toothaches, just as a pain reliever, arthritis, and probably more. so toke up

 

weed doesnt kill brain cells, thats what idiots say. cannabinoids are not in any way poisonous. the ONLY health problems with the drug part of marijuana are psychological, period.


in terms of breathing.. its no doubt that smoking thgins ruin your lungs.

the fact that your lungs open up from the drug, doesnt mean that its over all good though. anyway, the majority of smok damage comes from holding in smoke, which all of us poor buggers have to do.

 

If you have a cold with quite a bad cough i dont recommend smoking weed. Eating it is ok but when you smoke it the next day your cough is twice as bad as it was before lol well at least it was like that for me.

 

oh yer that reminds me. both smoke, and thc do have a medical problem. when you smoke marijuana, your immune system is lowered, as with most drugs. this is then worsened by smoke irritation. in general, stoenrs get sick more often than nonestoners and nonsmokers. this is only a generalisation though, but your imune system is weakened

 

I think that there's some kinda problem relating to the fact that weed hits your lungs at a higher temperature than tobacco which causes more damage. I think thats where the '1 joint being equivalent to a pack of cigs' line comes from but I would say thats pretty hard to gauge as people use different amounts of baccy (or no baccy) when smoking. Most of the health issue surrounding weed relates to the actual physical smoking of it

 

So, since smoking marijuana is unhealthy for your lungs if we just atae pot instead of smoking it there would be nothing wrong with it. Right?
