MORE Act. Legal Weed?

I wouldn't be at all surprised that smoking some MJ causes cancer, but from most of the articles I've read, the jury is still out. This has a lot to do with the fact that it's difficult to study something that was illegal for so long. Self-reporting isn't very reliable, many people who smoked weed also smoked tobacco, etc. I think, now, with it being legal in many places, the research will be much more sound over the next 10-15 years. And just for measure, while it would seem like a no-brainer that smoking ANYTHING could cause cancer, animal research suggests that some chemicals in marijuana work against tumor growth, which could explain why lung cancer isn’t showing up as often as scientists might expect in people who smoke it.

But yes, at the end of the day, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that it can cause cancer. While you smoke less of it than you would tobacco, you also hold it in, and you usually smoke the "tarry" part as you don't let any go to waste. As I understand it, the tarry part (resin?) is more dangerous. Tobacco smokers usually throw out a cigarette before smoking this portion.

Breathing anything that isn't just air is probably some degree of bad for your health. The smoke from ordinary wood fireplaces, that smells so nice? Yeah, that's not good for you. Everything is bad for us, and even if we manage to avoid absolutely everything we still eventually implode or rot from within.

Except I don't stick my face in the fireplace and breathe in the smoke and hold it in as long as aI can.

You don't? That's what everybody else does always all the time. It's what makes fireplaces romantic.

You don't actually have to argue with every remark, you know.

However, if one is burning wood to keep warm, that's apt to be happening 12 or more hours per day, and that pollutes your air even with 'proper' venting. Without sticking one's face in the fireplace, I'll bet that's as bad or worse than smoking a joint.

Just saying. I don't offer this as a justification for smoking weed.

More and more weed is being eaten by the way.

Yes, ingesting the THC is much better then smoking. More effective in its benefits, and those benefits last longer. I would be on many strong pain meds without the pot, as well as blood pressure meds, that I am now able to eliminate.

You shouldn't. There's no benefit, or so I've read.

This is true. There is absolutely no benefit to holding the smoke in, just like there wouldn't be with cigarettes. The bulk of the active chemical is soaked up by the lung tissue immediately.

It's like 720p to 1080p. Yeah, one is more but it's pretty much unnoticeable.
 
There seems to be a lot of bickering and bad-tempered exchanges in this thread. Please stop doing that; try to remain civil and polite no matter how much you disagree with your fellow posters.

I heard a guy got fired for saying it was the safest therapeutic substance known to man.

Bubbleheads may know what it means to 4.0 the third RP test, and I did it while stoned, had to have the test regraded to get back 2 points though, but I was stoned when I took it, stoned when I went to class, stoned when I studied, and was taught by a teacher who was also stoned.

Your lungs can clear a fair amount of smoke, so if you don't use too much, there won't be any harm from that.

I should have had depression diagnosed and treated much sooner, but I did self medicate a lot, and failing a drug test got me into treatment, which led me to a better life, less drinking and quitting the cigs.

I have to mention some negatives, the only time my long time doubles partner beat me in tennis was when I was stoned and he triple bageled me.

Also some fine motor skill tasks are no fun while stoned.
