marijuana smoke contains some ov the same ingredients in tobacco smoke that can cause emphysema

in moderation guys, now, if you eat hash brownies, this nullifies everything.


"To date, similar epidemiologic and/or clinical studies on the use of cannabis and cancer are few and not definitive. " as I said before.

"Cannabis smoke – unlike tobacco smoke – has not been definitively linked to cancer in humans, including those cancers associated with tobacco use. However, certain cellular abnormalities in the lungs have been identified more frequently in long-term smokers of cannabis compared to non-smokers. Chronic exposure to cannabis smoke has also been associated with the development of pre-cancerous changes in bronchial and epithelium cells in similar rates to tobacco smokers. "

although, if you continue to read the rest of the article, it says a vaporizer fixes this pre-cancerous onset.

"Many other studies have found that it is likely that smoking marijuana increases the risks of lung cancer. It is because the cancer causing compounds carcinogens and co carcinogens that are present in tobacco are also found in marijuana. In fact it contains more cancer causing substances than tobacco. So if marijuana is smoked over a long period of time then it increases the risks of lung cancer. Marijuana also most probably increases risks of prostate cancer,testicular cancer and leukemia among children whose mothers smoked pot when they were pregnant."

"Frequent or long-term use of marijuana may significantly increase a man’s risk of developing the most aggressive type of testicular cancer"

cannabis causes gynecomastia which translates to MAN BOOBS lol. http://www.marijuana.com/medicinal-m...stia-help.html check out this poor fucker, and just type it in on google for more if you want.

So, on the otherhand, besides ABUSING THE SHIT OUT OF POT BY SMOKING IT EVERYDAY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, it does have a lot of great medical enifits, and contributes to world peace and wellbeing of the soul and innovation.

Remember guys, once you get the message, it's time to hang up the phone.

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.

In college I went to every day starting soph year, and maintained that frequency for 3 years. I began to do workouts and work high. I now smoke only joints, 5 times per week, usually after work, but occassionally waking and backing on the weekends.

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

Dr. Lester Grinspoon is Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, he is up to date on the latest research in Europe (mostly in Germany and Spain). I used to fervently follow the progress of the research, but I gave up hope that anything would change about ten years ago... So much evidence of it's medicinal benifits, spiritual benifits, it's uses for consumption, textiles, bio-fuel etc. It doesn't seem to matter... Sad, but sooo many industries lose major $$$ if it was legal. Paper, Pharma, Law enforcement and last but not least Oil companies would lose $Billions$, possibly even $Trillions$!!! So I wouldn't hold my breath on "Change" anytime soon. I was however intrigued that the AMA (American Medical Association) recently held a conference about the different research results from accross the globe including the research Nixon had ordered. Someone video taped the conference and posted it on youtube. I believe it may have been posted here aswell. It has since been taken down
But it appeared as though they isolated a Cannabidile that works on most cancers, meaning now big Parma will start to produce a form of this Cannabidile. This is one of 419 known compounds in marijuana that have an effect on Cancer cells. That was the message between the lines anyway. The research brought forth made me feel under informed... Basically THC is involved in every major function of our bodies. Cardiovascular, Nervous, Digestive, etc... But I knew to be looking for the angle that made them have this conference, and I believe that to be this Cannabidile 131. It will be a foot in the door of the Medical MJ scene... Not good, Not good at all...
