R we dying?

[chronic_maniac]

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, then everyone believes them. I just wanna know what the true health risks (if any) there are from Marijuana.

Ok mj is relatively safe if you do not smoke it, ie get a vape, there are a few posts here about them, but essentially you get THC but not the tar or CO etc so cancer is no longer a worry and actually mj is 5x worse than cigarette smoke for TAR and CO, so yeah if you smoke long enough the chances are you will accumulate the necessary mutations in your genome to produce a cancerous cell.

I have a long post about the adverse effects of mj from a pharmacy textbook so have a look and if you don't understand something post a question and maybe PM me to make sure I reply. But like I have already said it is relatively safe compared to other drugs: alcohol, cigarrettes etc and with the countless news reports I've seen that have been wrong for one reason or another I am not surprised many ppl do not have the facts.

yes we are dying. sadly we are slowly dying, all of us, regardless if we smoke pot or not, marijuana is just helping that death not be so slow and painful.

even though there is no proof that MJ is deadly, there hasn't been research to say that it is either. If you smoke MJ as joints then definitly as said in the earlier post you may be prone to lung cancer later on down the track. Bongs filter out toxins from the smoke so bongs are a bit safer. You can eat leaf to get high which is pretty safe however our bodies have evolved to create body lining for eating flowers so if you eat bud you won't feel anything. And the safest option is a vapourizer.

I have nothin to add here except, i'd rather die of something i really enjoy!! we all do things every day that probably put us at more risk though. tell ya mates ta shut up because it sounds like there recking your stone, your spending all your time worried!

IMO if u were going to worry about every thing that is going to harm u, u would lead a pretty sad life, u could walk out your front door and get run down by a car or u could be walking down the street and a tree brackes falls on u and that is it, that is life u take what u can get, the good with the bad.

At least marijuana doesnt make your dick fall off like other drugs can.

 

If you care about the health aspect then use a vapourizer. Id rather have a bong as it hits you harder.

it causes extreame laziness if smoked during the day for me, sativas are a little better but the still do as well.

 

I smoke ALOT and im still alive

i reckon eating it would be the healthiest. Vapes are meant to be good but who knows. There is no solid research studies on their effects AFAIK and at the end of the day you're still inhaling hot vapour. I wouldn't be surprised if some time down the track we discover that the vapour is harmful or carcinogenic.

I have read that eating grass puts an amazing amount of pressure on the kidneys or liver, maybe both?

 

But then it's one of those things that float around, unfounded, what's true,.what's not?

 

A doctor in Btron Bay used to suggest using joints, rather than bongs, because the steam was too harsh on the throught, and I concurr totally. A joint can be "sipped" at at the rate the smoker wants.

 

Anyway, burning anything and sticking it n ya body isnt the healthiest thing in the wolrd. Nor is eating fatty food, the single most common reason for bowel cancer in Australians, a disease fast becoming comporable to heart disease for deaths per year, and many other daily routines we all do.

 

I wish we could get accurate research, but unitl the laws are changed . the best we get is specifically funded research, that is meant to bring a set conclusion, depending on who provides the moola. So again...who knows?

 

Just smoke more pot and forget it.
