well supposedly no one died from weed smoke, but no one died of cigarette smoke either. They usually pass away from cancer or other stuff like that.

Personally i think that any kind of smoke inhalation is bad for you. Realistically if a person smoked as much weed as cigarettes, they would probably get some sort of desease and die. The fact is that weed is not as affordable as cigarettes and a small amount usually does the trick for a couple of hours.

If people smoked weed as much as cigarettes (say 15 - 20 joints a day), weed would kill too.

well im starting to see the point too that it might bother you, it does bother me too when somebody smokes weed right next to me, maybe they should legalize possession under a 20 piece and in private locations, i think parks should also be a legal smoking ground since usually the density of people is very low.

I'm not fooled...go educate yourself. You're the one who is fooled...lemme guess mommy nailed it home that weed is BADDD NEWSS and you accepted that...I might be wrong but until you show me some research you did don't make lewd comments. Don't take that personally either ok.

actually...there is no evidence to support that...There is no scientific or otherwise evidence to say that weed has negative medical effects. There has been very few instances I believe where individuals that had psychological problems such as schizophrenia have seen increased behaviour when they smoke up because weed can give the effect of being a bit paranoid for some (it's always funny when girls first smoke up and correct me if I'm wrong here but almost all if not all of them get paranoid about being high forever..haha).

Admittedly there is no long term study done because there is no need for it really, about the effects of smoking weed but the facts are that:-

there is no evidence of it being bad to you health, rather it does the opposite and is good for many of ailments...chronic pain, catarac and other eye related sicknesses, asthma..etc.

The weed plant has the most value in terms of making it into raw material and it is one of the strongest natural plant fibers know to man. This is because it's the only plant where every component can be used to make other things. The oldest known medicine is from China and what was used...you guessed it..ganja.

Man...Thomas Jefferson and George Washington grew Mary.J...Thomas J was one of the biggest known smugglers of the stuff...Ben Franklyn, Henry V111, England Crown Royals, Napoleon, US armies..it's very useful...I can go on and on but read and educate yourself. I chose a T.O. article from our very own "Hemp Company"...Clicky

hey that's cool with me, you make yourself feel better by reading up on the lack of evidence that weed is not good for you. And yes you are correct that weed does have benefits.

At the end of the day you are still inhaling smoke and that can't be good. So think about it logically and educate yourself on common sense.

Ahh yesss common sense....like the kind that is fact that you inhale more smoke in one day from cars that you probably weed smoke in a year or few years at that.

To be fair though...weed is safer when used in a bong.

LOL! What a crock of ****... Weed is NOT good for you. Yes it has Medicinal Purposes, but that DOES NOT mean it's "good" for you.

Also, as mentioned before, inhaling ANY type of smoke is BAD for your health.

I used to smoke that for a long time and a lot of it, I've now quit for over 4 years. I don't miss it one bit.

And it should defiantly NOT be made legal. It's a drug, and drugs are illegal for a reason. If you want to smoke it fine, I have nothing against it. But don't start talking bullsh!t that weed is good for you, and the age old "no one has ever died from weed" GTFO

"''Weed is NOT good for you. Yes it has Medicinal Purposes,but that DOES NOT mean it's "good" for you."..??? Medicinal Purposes aren't reason enough to be good??

If you don't mind me asking..why'd you stop? Do you think honestly if you didn't smoke a lot you'd have stopped?

If you advocate so strongly against making it legal I assume you believe beer should be sent to the dump as well yes?

You show me something to enlighten me and i will gladly read it. Seriously I'd be open to it. I've even looked for info on people dying from it but it's a bit difficult to find. Smoking cigarettes and dying well....

yes, polution does count in air consumption, but that is involuntary, smoking weed on the other hand is a choice and you choose to inhale it. There is a big difference.

Oh yeah, and weed for medicinal purposes does not fix a persons problem, it helps them cope with it, so technically it is only a temporary distraction, not a fix.

actually, weed isnt good for SOME people's health. the way weed works is that its not like cigarettes, it doesnt attach to the small fibres in your lungs/throat to give you lung/throat cancer. instead, it travels further down to potentially cause stomach cancer.

again, like cigarettes, you could smoke 20 packs a day and still not get cancer. it only affects certain people, and these certain people get cancer etc. if your not one of them, cool.

Yeh man I can feel that. My last line in my very first post was, "use and don't abuse". which means use it in controlled situations and in limited amounts...but i don't know how what i posted warranted the response I got. Look marijuana gets you high and thats not a good thing for normal daily life.

personal experience: weed made some of my ex-friends stupid, lazy and unbearable to stand.

It doesn't do it to all the people doing it, but id say 70% of the people abuse it to the point where it does, and hence its a drug(not physical, mental addiction).

Its prolly not harmful once every 3 months or so, but tell me one person who smokes it like that and I'll give you 10 who don't. It's like an alcoholic who drinks liters and liters of red wine a day saying what the ****, red wine's good for you.

You're missing the point! Just because it helps relieve some people's pains temporarily, doesn't mean it has POSITIVE health effects. NOTHING positive comes from smoking week. Only the opposite actually. So no it's NOT good.

If you don't mind me asking..why'd you stop? Do you think honestly if you didn't smoke a lot you'd have stopped?
I quit because I didn't enjoy it any more and I knew it was changing me. I didn't like were it was going, so I stopped. I was never addicted, but I did smoke it a lot and for a long time.

If you advocate so strongly against making it legal I assume you believe beer should be sent to the dump as well yes?
No, because Alcohol is NOT a Drug. Although abuse of both substances probably will yield just as deadly results for them both, it's still not classified as a drug unlike Weed.

You show me something to enlighten me and i will gladly read it. Seriously I'd be open to it. I've even looked for info on people dying from it but it's a bit difficult to find. Smoking cigarettes and dying well....
I'm not saying people are dying from weed. You seem to be so fixated on just that one point. I don't care about that at all. Although like I and another person has said here before, SMOKING/INHALING anything that burns is BAD for you. That INCLUDES smoking weed even pure.

As for it killing you maybe not... But I've seen enough people personally change completely from that so that's enough proof for me.

Again, I think your one and only point that every person that smokes weed brings up (about no one ever dying) is a mute point.

If you blaze, you blaze. If you don't, you don't. I personally don't care either way. But, let's remember how it works. That feeling of euphoria happens when your brain is deprived of oxygen. Can't be extremely fabulous for your head. That being said I missed 4/20, but made up for it 4/21.
