Marijuana In My System....

For the last few months now i have been smoking daily and i was wondering how long it takes for my system to be clean marijuana for say a blood or urine test. I know that its roughly 28 days but i have been smoking heavily and expected it to take longer but recently i heard off a friend that the more you smoke the quicker it leaves your system due to your body being more immune to it. Also is there anything that can mask the cannabis in my system to keep blood or urine tests from picking it up. Any help would be appreciated Peace Tracid

New Study Explains How Pot Kills Cancer Cells By Steve Kubby A new study published in Nature Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells. The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor. The Guzman study is very important according to Dr. Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world …

R. Taylor1 and W. Hall2,3 Abstract Both the gaseous and the particulate phases of tobacco and cannabis smoke contain a similar range of harmful chemicals. However, differing patterns of inhalation mean that smoking a 'joint' of cannabis results in exposure to significantly greater amounts of combusted material than with a tobacco cigarette. T…

Yo! I'm just posting this because i har alot of sh*t from people and I'm just wondering what serious health issues there are, like i mean, I've read books about it and stuff all about how Marijuana can cause heaps of illnesses. But then when i go 'round a mate's place 4 a chop, i hear all these d*kheads talking about "nah, it's only if u mix your weed with niccotine.." I actually don't Nik my weed, i prefer it straight, and I feel fine. But then i hear stuff like "if you smoke joints, it's worse than a bong, because joints cause lip cancer", the list goes on, from what i've heard in the area around my house, it just seems like these bullsh*t stories just circulate around,…

does this happen to anyone else here...? when i have any THC at all, even just one cone, in a few minutes i get this really intense tingling through my whole body (most intense in the feet, legs and chest). it's most noticable when i'm sitting still or lying down, or even just standing. it's the best feeling ever... better than anything. and the thing is, if i really let go i can still feel it the next day in the feet and lower legs. it's like the muscles are contracting really slowly and it feels great. fuck, i dunno. it's pretty weird. no one else i know experiences it, but i remember john birmingham said on triple j one time that he was aware of and could feel all…

It seems whoever is around the site at the time a new poll starts votes, but when the thread dies off new members don't vote in the old polls. Some polls have been up for ages, and still only have around 50 votes. So this is just an encouragement to all new members, and all old members for that matter, to have a look through the pinned polls in this forum and cast a vote if you haven't already. The more people that vote the more meaningful these polls will be. cheers. PS - I'll bump this topic from time to time as a continuing reminder.
