Marijuana might be killing me slowly but so is breathing the air in this shitty gas/chem producing town....


All drugs can be bad for your health but so can cheeseburgers and pancakes if you overdo it....




Marijuana can be used daily without ill affect if you live a healthy life, eating right and exercise.... People are uninformed....
Killing you slowly? Marijuana is actually good and healthy for you, who told you this?  Huh

Smoking it isn't really healthy, but I really can't imagine smoking anything is healthy.
If you use a vaporizer or eat it in a delicious cake, it's good. Consuming marijuana isn't limited to smoking it, it's actually a shame this is the most popular way of consuming it.

So...I suppose the next logical study would be to examine whether lung cancer is as prevalent in those who regularly smoke cigarettes and pot compared with those that only smoke cigarettes.

Yeah a few different types of Cancer.... Cannabinoids have shown to help reduce tumor size... 


The drug companies are not happy with this... How do they make their trillions if people can just use Marijuana instead of their drugs?

I don't think this has been mentioned yet (then again, I didnt read past the first post) but a single blunt actually has a ton of carcinogens in it. Last I remember, it was something like the equivalent to smoking 3 or 4 cigarettes, and it goes right to your lungs. I'll just stay here. Safe. Behind my wall of LSD.
While true, since there's no evidence of a link between marijuana smoking and any kind of cancer, the presence of the carcinogens is irrelevant. It may be equivalent to 3 or 4 cigarettes in terms of the volume of carcinogens, but carcinogens are not all the same, and it definitely does not have anywhere near the same level of carcinogenic effect on humans as 3 or 4 cigarettes does.

This is not even controversial. For example, see here http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana :
Quote
Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer; however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract cancers. Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time.


However, in many areas of the world, pot smokers mix with tobacco and draw much more deeply (although far less frequently) than cigarette smokers. In this case I think it would be likely that getting high could cause cancer.
Except that weed cures cancer.

I will admit, so many kiddlets abuse the shit outta the medicinal cannabis system just to get high, i saw that shit all the time when going to dispensaries. Same goes with xanax, oxycontin, ambien, so on and so forth.

Fuckheads always have to ruin it for everybody else.

Anything can be bad if you overdo it.
Even chastity?

There's a lot of people who's pain can be eased by weed no doubt.
What level of pain is grounds for sparking up or popping a few pills though?

With good weed you don't need women, friends or even good music,
just a nice wall to stare at and a few repetitive beats.
