Did you ingest it though? That's what they are talking about. Eating it gives a completely different type of high.

It has never been proven that smoking WEED can lead to cancer...In fact, it has been proven that weed is actually beneficial in fighting AGAINST some forms of cancer.

Weed is good for a laugh with your mates.
To get addicted to it IMO you are a loser. Its a drug to smoke when your at a party, not 24/7. People who need weed an swear by it will definetly suffer later on in life. Whether its through depression, total slowness or one of the other many things thats comes with smoking weed for a living. Losers.

Yea, keep watching those commercials, buddy...most of your idols smoke weed on a daily basis. Weed can be a productive drug if you know how to use it...PeAce

Most of my idols are dumbasses that talk about guns, drugs, money and killing people.

I'm not talking about those idols...I'm talking about some of the greatest thinkers to ever grace this planet. All the shit you're saying is bullshit and it's unproven propaganda that you'd find in an anti-weed commercial...Have you experienced those symptoms for yourself, or are you just going based on what you heard?
-
My best friend of like 10 years become addicted, depressed, all the things under the sun because of weed.
If you like it that great, I aint here to judge.
Who are these greatest thinkers? I doubt Einstein lit up a doobie every night before bed.

Einstein smoked weed. ;)
I was talking about the great poets, philosophisers, scientists, etc. A great portion of them smoked weed, bro.
Your friend is a weak person, it wasn't the weed. I know TONS of people who've smoked weed daily for 10+ years and they aren't anything close to that...PeACe

yea good luck after you quit smoking weed with the brain chemical balances and lowered seretonin. 5 people including myself that I know of that were smoking multiple times a day now have anxiety disorders.

Lol I have ADD and smoke weed, it hasn't done shit for me

It is PROVEN that once you quit weed, the effects disappear.

me and my friends are screwing around with flavouring weed, we put ground up banana shit and sprayed five alive diluted with alot of water on some buds and let them dry, shit burns for along time and it's really sticky :D also has a lemony citrus after taste to it.

self medicating with marijuana is not the answer
Your an asshole, but I have to agree with you ( can't believe I actually am ).
Using marijuana as a medication is not the answer to ADD, or ADHD, I too am speaking from personal experience. Recreational use is the best thing in the world, but as silly as it sounds, getting into smoking 3-4 l's a day ( where I'm at ) is not a good thing. It makes you paraniod, stupider and fuckin ultra lazy.
Abusing weed to get away from your problems only makes it worse. It took me YEARS to figure this out.

I smoked 4 blunts a day for a few years and quit out of nowhere. I developed a chemical imbalance where I get shaky and panicky on occasion. If you don't think having your dopamine levels consistantly raised for years isn't going to change the sensitivity to your brain chemicals your wrong. I have had to go the hospital 3 times because I thought i was having a heart attack. Never had this problem before the weed. I don't have too much stress in my life. Seeing I know of other people where the same thing happened to them after quitting smoking I am thinking it is the weed.

Ya definitley. Heard the same story, or at least something along the lines of that, from more than 1 person.
-
^^The reason I can't agree with that is because I've known people like that who've NEVER smoked weed, and on the other hand, I've known perfectly normal people who have been smokin weed their whole lives. I'm not saying that everyone should go out there and become major potheads, but blazin tree is not a bad thing if you can handle yourself. It goes as far as being RECOMMENDED by doctors, scientests, etc. out there, so yea...And LOL@banana boy can't stay off the niznuts. :laugh:

Well it just affects everyone differently. You may think you know some smokers that seem normal, but what you don't see is how they really feel. You wouldn't expect that I was that way even if you smoked with me. I just know how to hide it, and bout to put sum haze in the air right now matter of fact.

Chemical imbalances are not caused by thoughts or fears in my head. Its a physical condition. It happens when i am laying down sleeping, I will wake up shaking for no reason and having heart palpitations. The doctor told me it was from smoking so much weed and constantly boosting my dopamine levels and all the sudden quitting. I have only had 2 panic attacks. They were fucking horrible and they come on out of nowhere. You feel like you are going to die.

Damn, some crazy shit...Never heard of that happening nor seen someone who smoked weed with the problem...I know some peeps who don't blaze and have panic attacks though.
Some doctors will say ANYTHING, especially against smoking...PeACe

I might not be weed, but dudes post freaked me the fuck out cuz we had damn near the same shit happen.
You are correct about the doctor's thing. I tried going to a therapist at one time, once I told them i smoked weed, that was the cause for all my problems according to them.

Panic attacks are scary. I didn't feel 100% for about a week because of the neurological effects. I felt like I was going to pass out and I was having trouble breathing. I get frequent chest pains on my left side also. I am going to a heart doctor on Weds. to take an echocardiogram. I am having the chest pains every other day also. This shit just came on out of nowhere about 2 months ago and I had to stop working out because of it. The last 2 months have been hell for me.

^^Dont tell them you smoked weed, cuz then right off the bat they'll tell you that's the cause for everything, and it'll probably get you believin it...

Sorry to hear about that dude. When a panic attack starts to happen now I just try to focus on my breathing and making sure that I'm aware of my surroundings. I believe it is possible to stop a panic attack before the phsyical effects take place.

Did you ingest it though? That's what they are talking about. Eating it gives a completely different type of high.
Smoking it is effective, they just said it doesn't last as long...
But cmon...a 9 year old smoking a joint? Smoking anything can give you cancer.
It has never been proven that smoking WEED can lead to cancer...In fact, it has been proven that weed is actually beneficial in fighting AGAINST some forms of cancer.
I'm aware of marijuana's medicinal factors, but your lungs are made to keep foreign bodies out. Introducting dust and tar on a consistant basis isn't good, no matter what it is.
-
i'm wit banana shake on this one, weed aint no big deal, just dont smoke it everyday... you'll end up like S~O~M !!!
and yeah, it's the weed's fault SOM got fucked, even though it was an indirect cause!
-
any kind of smoking will lead to lung cancer.
-
Weed can fuck people up. i used to have this homie a while back, and he was totally normal, but he started to smoke weed everyday and after a couple of years he got all fucked up. He started seeing things had all kind of crazy ideas, they even took him to the nut house for a while. But hes still not normal hes fucked up for life now.
But it really depends on the person, he must have had it in him.

Never said it was good for your lungs. Still doesn't cause cancer though...Lots of things people do on a daily basis are just as bad, if not worse for their bodies than weed could ever be. Weed has its pros and cons, just like most things in life...
-
any kind of smoking will lead to lung cancer.
This is not even close to being proven...Tobacco tightens your wind pipes as it's being smoked. Weed has been proven to EXPAND your wind pipes as it's being smoked. The only confirmed connection they've made with weed and cancer is that it actually CURES a few forms of cancer...We're used to getting anti-weed messages thrown in our faces all day every day. Try looking into what some credible doctors or scientists who RECOMMEND it say...

Except for their psychoactive ingredients, marijuana and tobacco smoke are nearly identical. 21 Because most marijuana smokers inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in their lungs, more dangerous material may be consumed per cigarette. However, it is the total volume of irritant inhalation—not the amount in each cigarette—that matters.
Most tobacco smokers consume more than 10 cigarettes per day and some consume 40 or more. Regular marijuana smokers seldom consume more than three to five cigarettes per day and most consume far fewer. Thus, the amount of irritant material inhaled almost never approaches that of tobacco users.
Frequent marijuana smokers experience adverse respiratory symptoms from smoking, including chronic cough, chronic phlegm, and wheezing. However, the only prospective clinical study shows no increased risk of crippling pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis and emphysema).
Since 1982, UCLA researchers have evaluated pulmonary function and bronchial cell characteristics in marijuana-only smokers, tobacco-only smokers, smokers of both, and non-smokers. Although they have found changes in marijuana-only smokers, the changes are much less pronounced than those found in tobacco smokers.
The nature of the marijuana-induced changes were also different, occurring primarily in the lung's large airways - not the small peripheral airways affected by tobacco smoke. Since it is small-airway inflammation that causes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, marijuana smokers may not develop these diseases. 22
In an epidemiological survey, approximately 1200 subjects gave information on smoking and pulmonary function at two-year intervals. A large percentage of the subjects underwent pulmonary function testing. Although a small group who reported previous marijuana smoking had significant pulmonary abnormalities, current marijuana smokers had no significant reduction in any pulmonary functions. 23
There are no epidemiological or aggregate clinical data suggesting that marijuana-only smokers develop lung cancer. However, since some bronchial cell changes appear to be pre-cancerous, an increased risk of cancer among frequent marijuana smokers is possible. 24
Since the pulmonary risks associated with marijuana are related to smoking, the danger is eliminated with other routes of administration. For committed smokers, pulmonary risk might be reduced with higher-potency products, which produce desired psychoactive effects with less inhalation of irritants. Smokers could also be encouraged to abandon deep inhalation and breath-holding, which increase drug delivery only slightly. Finally, pulmonary risk might be reduced if marijuana were smoked in water pipes rather than cigarettes.

Point is, eating it will get you high too. If I was prescribed THC pills or something, I definately wouldn't complain.

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection
By Marc Kaufman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 26, 2006; A03
The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.
The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.
"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."
Federal health and drug enforcement officials have widely used Tashkin's previous work on marijuana to make the case that the drug is dangerous. Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful, its cancer-causing effects appear to be of less concern than previously thought.
Earlier work established that marijuana does contain cancer-causing chemicals as potentially harmful as those in tobacco, he said. However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous.
Tashkin's study, funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse, involved 1,200 people in Los Angeles who had lung, neck or head cancer and an additional 1,040 people without cancer matched by age, sex and neighborhood.
They were all asked about their lifetime use of marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. The heaviest marijuana smokers had lighted up more than 22,000 times, while moderately heavy usage was defined as smoking 11,000 to 22,000 marijuana cigarettes. Tashkin found that even the very heavy marijuana smokers showed no increased incidence of the three cancers studied.
"This is the largest case-control study ever done, and everyone had to fill out a very extensive questionnaire about marijuana use," he said. "Bias can creep into any research, but we controlled for as many confounding factors as we could, and so I believe these results have real meaning."
Tashkin's group at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA had hypothesized that marijuana would raise the risk of cancer on the basis of earlier small human studies, lab studies of animals, and the fact that marijuana users inhale more deeply and generally hold smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers -- exposing them to the dangerous chemicals for a longer time. In addition, Tashkin said, previous studies found that marijuana tar has 50 percent higher concentrations of chemicals linked to cancer than tobacco cigarette tar.
While no association between marijuana smoking and cancer was found, the study findings, presented to the American Thoracic Society International Conference this week, did find a 20-fold increase in lung cancer among people who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day.
The study was limited to people younger than 60 because those older than that were generally not exposed to marijuana in their youth, when it is most often tried.

smoking marijuana puts toxins in your lungs, toxins, while may not directly cause cancer, cause harm to your lungs, its common sense,
smell or drink bong water, thats a lot, not all, of bad shit that would be in your lungs if you were smoking a blunt.

Point is, eating it will get you high too. If I was prescribed THC pills or something, I definately wouldn't complain.
I've had THC pills for leukemia patients before and they sucked big time, I didn't feel anything.
-
personally i like the act of smoking weed, even if i had access to cookies easily, i would still smoke more than eat

how about becoming sterile? is there any truth in that?
