this is widely fabricated. The study said between 2.5 - 5. The media instinctivly went with 5. The darts (we call cigs darts here) were also tested with filters while the pot wasent.
I laughed when I read this. They just say "Studies"...wait, what the fuck? Thats like saying "according to recent studies eating fruit every day may lead to cancer". Means nothing without a source and proof that it does infact cause cancer
That's a perfect example of government propaganda And their also inferring that cigarette's really aren't that bad for you LOL. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT !!!
So "Sources" say that marijuana damages your lungs, and Harvard Studies say marijuana can actually reduce your chanced of lung cancer. I'll take Harvard Study over "Sources" any day.
There are always risks when inhaling burning plant material. The heat from the burning tip is quite intense and can create complex hydrocarbons quite similar to a car's exhaust. There are other lung afflications aside from lung cancer - emphzema (sp?) for example. But studies that are pro/con usually are of the "preaching to the choir" sort.
One thing I know is that a marijuana cigarette takes me a hell of a lot further than a tobacco cigarette.
well shit this sounds very well guys i quit, i mean i am not gonna go out and buy a gram with my bros car without i license i am NOT going to do that! This made me realize how horrible this drug is! CMON GUYS! LETS ALL QUIT!!! fuck that propoganda bullshit
Studies have shown that eggs are good for you... shit.. early 90s.. Studies have shown Eggs are good for you.. long as you don't eat the yolk Shit!!! late 90s..Studies have shown Eggs are not good for you.. FUCK!
The tobacco companies have a ridiculous amount of influence on our government. I smoke cigs, so I can't really complain about people smoking them, but to say that they're healthier than weed?? All smoke irritates the lining of your lungs, but pot smoke actually dilates many of the small air passages, allowing more oxygen to enter the lungs, and helping the body expel what shouldn't be in there...like tar and carcinogens from tobacco. Thus the coughing. Check out Erowid marijuana myths. They blow most of the propaganda against pot out of the water.
I know, right? Maybe the government just wants to keep one of it's biggest industries alive and well? Ugh. This fucking disgusts me. Even if it WERE true, while I know this doesn't speak for everyone, most casual potheads will smoke about... maybe four or five joints a day? And almost everyone who smokes cigs smokes at least 20 a day. Ugh. Ugh Ugh Ugh.
Actully as much as you don't want to believe it pot does cause problems. No, pot does not cause cancer but it does cause lung complications that are just as painful as lung cancer. If your a heavy smoker for a long time 20 years+ you can actully have a chance of lung collapsing,breathing problems,shortness of breath so you won't be able to exercise anymore. Also smoking for a long time dries your throat up causing problems and pain when you eat.
