Cannabis smoke 'has more toxins' - New Study Shows

Some of probably have already read this article, but for those that haven't:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7150274.stm

What do people here think about this? Is it just another study that misses the point?

 

"Tobacco from manufacturers has been enhanced and cleaned whereas cannabis is relatively unprocessed and therefore is a much dirtier product."
hahaha what bullshit

personally, with all the back and forth, I don't know much information on the subject that I trust
I don't really give a shit though

 

Good post dude, I didn't think of the fertilizer angle.

SNB

 

Makes sense.

Thank you for that

 

that shits crazy, i think its bullshit cigarettes are worse than weed by a loooooooooong shot.

 

I think that could be a leading factor toward legalization!

 

It won't be. Because the people that are keeping this illegal, are the same people that believe that this substance is a curse to society. These same people are completely oblivious to the facts about this, and are themselves misinformed.

These people take biased studies as fact.

 

Skip knows!

 

... and plus, most people smoke a lot more cigarettes than they do weed. you don't see people smoking 1-2 packs-worth of weed(in size)... at least i hope not.

 

^ true also.

i dunno, i tend to not think about it anymore - it pisses me off too much with the whole situation, it is stupid. makes me want to kick something

 

Amen, brethren, amen.

 

Tobacco is and keeps much more unhealthy then cannabis. As far as I know, the main cancer causing chemicals in Tobacco (that most likely cause 95% of the cases on tobacco smokers) are fucking radioactive substances ... which are not found in cannabis.

These researches don't proove a thing ... cannabis may in fact contain 20 times as much tar as cigarettes ... what does this say about health? No fucking thing. When cleaning your house with ammonia you'll probably breath in 100 times as much ammonia as you do with 1 KG of cannabis.

Fact is, tobacco causes cancer because it is radioactive, this has been proved and certain so called 'radioactive hotspots' can be found on smokers lung tissue.

Of course, this researches has been performed by 'a government'. I wouldn't believe too much crap of it when it says 'government funded'.

 

Reminds me off this quote: "Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use… ” -Jimmy Carter, 1977



BTW, has anyone ever grown their own tobacco? I've wondered how different it would be to roll a joint of organically grown tobacco compared to commercial cigarettes that go through god knows what processes to "enhance" them. It would have to be somewhat healthier, right?

 

idk it seems like ciggarette users smoke alot more.
when ppl only smoke weed 1-2 times a day if not just every other day or occasionaly.

but in the long run who cares, we all gotta go sometime might as well live it up while you can.
