wow this is really a great study, lets look at some of the flaws 1) all people who smoke pot only smoke joints, so the hotter smoke thing is total bullshit. 2) i could only think of one thing
They dont say how big the j is. And you only smoke 3-4 j if that a day (unless ur stupid or got shittyweed) not 20 like if u smoked cigs. Not to mention tar isnt the only thing you gotta worry about if you smoke cigs.
Well that is common knowledge, you are inhaling plant matter. On the plus side our new and improved "cocaine power* " weed means you inhale less ergo less bad stuff *from another recent news blurb.
These studies are all bullshit. What about those Truth commericials talking about cigarettes, now those are for real.
OK...i havent smoked a joint in months. That is such a huge generalization. I want them to compare pot heads to people who roll their own unfiltered cigs. If we have worse lungs, then they have a case.
I'm no scientist, but I can read. Sweet. Anyway, I've done some of this reading and here's what I read: http://www.webmd.com/news/20000508/marijuana-unlikely-to-cause-cancer Hehe, I am by no means saying that this article is 100% legit/correct, but I think it always pays to know more then one (very lopsided) point of view. Interesting stuff. There's a similiar article/blurp in the 3rd addition of the Cannibible.
I read this article like a year ago and thought it was pretty funny. If it's a different newer article then it's straight up recycled information. I remember the whole "1 joint=5cigs" thing lol
actually when that is the case they say it is worse for you because the filter takes out thc more than the other chemicals in the smoke, meaning you have to smoke more to get high and thus smoke more tar and stuff than you would have with just one unfiltered joint.
thats not true. you can smoke a cig-a-weed with the filter on and still get just as high. i never leave them on, but have, and it works fine. also, my friends, and other members have done it with the filter on with great results.
/\ yeah i smoke with filters on sometimes, and i still get fuckin blasted, but a filter does take some THC out, i dont think its noticable, but it does take SOME out.
