ok so im 19 turning 20 on monday n i have bin smoking weed ever day since i was 15 expect for one week at my grandparents its part of my normal life helps me deal with all the non sense in the world but how much does it effect your lunges and or cardio is there a way to help my lunges and or cardio ?
i guess it depends how you smoke it... i used a bong heavily for about 6 years and i mean 15-20 cones a day minimum it was obscene... i've since moved to blunts and joints...and not only do i find i'm cutting back on costs my lungs don't have that pain in them they used to from the bong... i've also found pipes to be pretty detrimental to the lungs also
Cansar
personal i hate joints i think it burns threw weed like no tomorrow my example i roll a gram joint it would barley get me and anther person high but a gram in buckets are single bong tokes it can get three of us high i dont smoke bowls only individual tokes so i never hit a half brunt bowl i use a vape when i can but im not sure could do to help my self and thats if it even effects me i just wanna be the best i can be i understand eddies a heavy toker and from what i hear some fighters are the same like nick diaz who from what i hear smokes lots of weed n enters triathlon's so wasn't sure .
name 3 people to get cancer smoking weedQuote:

Preach! it's one of the stupidest arguments i've ever heard for weed.... apparantly if you eat too much cheese and walk in the sun for 5 minutes you can get cancer lolQuote:

i feel yeah i just started smoking 2 years ago because of the samething its all just one big lie after another first santa ,baby jesus, then weed lol
Yes!!!!!!!!! So your an atheist?
Also dude im only gonna smoke it from a vaporizer
and as long as it doesnt get me high
am not anything i dont like putting labels .... i just know the bible has been changed,burned,re-rewriten,and added to so am sure its not the most fact worthy book out there lol but Jesus had good teachings so does Budda and Houdini but so does Master Bravo.
as long as it doesnt get you high? ummmm what do you mean sorry i dont mean to put you on blast but have you never smoked ganja before?
Learned something from the forum did ya? ;)Quote:

I definitely feel like smokin herb takes a ever so slight toll on my cardio when i'm sparring mma/conditioning but it's still better than most peoples so can't be too bad for you. Definitely cutting back before my fight in July but at the same time the positive effects of bud on my training negate whatever cardio it might take away.
What is the point if it doesn't get you high?Quote:

I don't see how people can smoke Tobacco with Marijuana, it's not necessary
Well i dont always get stoned when i smoke i like to smoke strains high in CBN and low in THC its good for pain and a good anti inflammatory,people just like the "high" the tobacco gives them it's dumb,but a vaporizer is the best way to go its not so harsh on your lungsQuote:

It's nice, I was addicted to cigarettes when I was 16...but I can't stand that shit now. It's nothing compared to the high from Marijuana and the bad effects are so much worse. It's also expensive to buy along with your weed!Quote:

I use to smoke a lot about 5 years ago ,But stopped after meeting my wife . Now I would almost be against trying to smoke cause of control and don't really know how it would affect me these days ... I'm at a totally different place on life's patch.
You should only do it when you want, nobody is forcing you and nobody is stopping you! But I do recommend you do it again at least once, especially with 5 years to get your tolerance levels way down. One will do you wonders ;)Quote:

not be a lazy ass sitting on my couch lol
i wanna hit it 3 times
when i wake up, on my lunch, and b4 i go to bed
my partner who has been smoking heavily 10-15 cones a day since 13 she's now 27 and quit cold turkey about 7 months ago... only problem now is that the withdrawals are causing some serious health issues she's taking some heavy anti-anxiety pills and also has prescriptions for valium.... so after 5 years i think you should be happy about your success's with quitting e.t.c and congrats... i mean i'm not anti weed but i've been smoking it long enough it'd be nice to be able to quitQuote:

The prescription way is not the answer, but a major problem in itself. I know "personally" many cases of 20 -40 years of heavy smoking, quit cold turkey, no withdrawals... Seeing how it is naturally produced in our body, we always have a certain level of THC in us at all times :) It is used by every major system in our bodies ( Cardiovascular, Nervous system, etc) It is the only substance known to man to regrow brain cells among numerous other qualities. I could go on and on.....
Wow, very interesting perspective. Im 23 and started at 17, during a time when I was depressed. No tobacco use whatsoever. At first I liked to trip out on the highs, basically close my eyes and see colors and objects, and did it once and every so often.Quote:

For jiu jitsu, amen, i still go sober sometimes, but i was high before NAGA no-gi intermediate and won my first match down 5 points to nothing by OMOPLATA! Granted quite a few hours had passed between smoking and competing, but i didnt feel that previous sense of 'OH i fucked up' even though I got taken down and had my guard passed. Recover half, lockdown whip up, shoot a triangle, fail, OMOPLATA.
And in class, EASILY some of my best rolls high, not to mention many times learning and utilizing a move taught very very quickly. I have yet to read emperor wears no clothes, but am intrigued about the lung cleanser/expectorant aspect. Between weed and exercise, my asthma which had plagued me all through early school DISAPPEARDED. Completely. I wish there were more studies on this, all of the studies linking weed to cancer don't screen for tobacco so I can't apply them to me.
Anyone know of some good concrete research on the use of ONLY weed, smoked, on the throat and lungs? Hope this dialogue continues to add value to an awesome thread.
Best,
Doug
So you only smoke a paper full of weed, no tobacco? Never thought of Vaping?
I have used vapes in cali, but yes just joints no tobacco. My lungs feel fine and im in phenomenal shape.Quote:

Ive smoked for about 7 years straight, everyday almost. Recently i was caught (not the first time by a longshot though ha) i can say that while smoking everyday certainky is great, it is probably not the healthuwst thing, regardkess of what you are smoking you hold hot gases in your lungs, nit even cigerrette smokers hold that shit in half as long as herb smokers. It cannot come without its consequences, plus not enough adequate research has been done to show that people do not get cancer from smoking weed. Ill bet it is a hell of a lot hetter than tabacoo, but do not set the opinion of canceless weed in your head. It is known to cause guys to grow tits though, ill look it up and post it later. Plus weed isnt as great if you do it everyday space that shit out and youll be guarenteed to be a high little teen again if you do it only a few times a week. Plus on can practise self control this way, because we all know its fun to be stoned as fuck 24/7. But give the lungs a break huh?
I have so much to say on the subject none of you would want to read it. For me, its dopamine. The neurotransmitter that promotes fluidity and reactive movement gained through muscle memory by hard training. The ma'fuckin Zone. It is what im addicted to.
Duuuude, weed doesn't give you cancer. And it most definitely doesn't do anything harmful to your lungs. Its been proven to be the opposite in fact.
It seems there are a hell of a lot of people who don't do enough research before they state their opinion.
true hands down thats the best way but they cost so much money how much are they over there?Quote:
