moderate marijuana use never affected my basketball game.

i never feared lung cancer and these things.

I would of thought if you smoked a tobacco cigarette (I assume the study was one small skin pure weed joint) once a week it wouldn't make any difference to your lungs either. You'd pick up more lung damage walking through the streets of London everyday or standing next to a bonfire. High use is daily and does harm your lungs, hardly a surprise, and alot of the time the gear is mixed with tobacco anyway to help it burn so you'd shit out there as well.

So does this study tell us anything new about dope...... nope.

the system, it has capacity to neutralize many negatives. there is no stress here.

I didn't watch the video, but just wanted to point out that doctor's used to recommend cigarette smoking for lung capacity and treating speech impediments.

To me, this falls along the same lines as "What if I just have one slice of toast a day?" Why friggin' bother?

I was reading this yesterday elsewhere and the study looked at folks that smoked "about 1 joint a week" over 20 years. In my long and varied history w/ mj I've not met that smoker, if you can keep yourself at that level more power to you but this doesn't pass the smell test.

I've scraped enough bowls to know what residue the smoke leaves behind and if you believe that this doesn't damage lungs then you're just whistling past the graveyard. Not to say it's as carcinogenic as tobacco smoke but to say it doesn't diminish lung function is utter BS.

It's not like I need more reasons to smoke weed, but this is nice. I read an article about it too that said smoking weed actually IMPROVES lung function. Hold the smoke in kids.

News from The Associated Press

"Unlike cigarette smokers, marijuana users tend to breathe in deeply when they inhale a joint, which some researchers think might strengthen lung tissue. But the common lung function tests used in the study require the same kind of deep breathing that marijuana smokers are used to, so their good test results might partly reflect lots of practice, said Kertesz, a drug abuse researcher and preventive medicine specialist at the Alabama university."

when I'm older and living a closer-to-nature life (ie: moving out of the tri-state area) I definitely plan on growing my own shit, though I'm scared of the repercussions if caught, but the VAST variety of strains is so alluring. I want to grow the purplest, bluest, dankest shit and definitely make hash out of it as well.

LEGALIZE IT.

do not fear repercussions, just do not tell anyone and you are safe.
