    beat me to it.

    everybody's body is different. nobody besides a medical doctor who has examined you could possibly tell you how long it would take for this hypothetical brain cancer to kill you.

    Moderate drinkers live longer lives than non drinkers and heavy drinkers. Occasional drinkers lie somewhere in between.

    Weed will not cause brain cancer.

    Smoking weed alone will not determine your life span. Genetics and overall health and fitness will determine your life span. If you are talking about cigarette smoking, smokers generally have shorter life spans, for obvious reasons.

    It sounds that you and your gf need to spend more time researching, and less time being ignorant.

    brain cancer from weed? dude, your gf is more likely to get brain cancer than you especially if you vaporize. People use weed to kill cancer.

    I believe that if you vaporize your weed, you can live longer than people who don't even use weed!

    Granny solid post. There has been a lot of recent evidence on the reduction of malicious tumor types in marijuana users. Cool stuff!

    i knew this guy once, he smoked like 5 pots and when he woke up the next morning his brain was one big tumor.

    we called him tumor head stoner untill he died a week later.

    the moral of the story:

    don't smoke 5 pots at once.


    anything less than 5 pots should be okay though. i don't know anyone who smoked 4 pots and died, and i smoked 3 pots once and i'm okay.

    its all about moderation

    Cancer patients don't smoke weed because it kills cancer. I don't know what makes you think that. They smoke it to ease the nausea that comes along with chemotherapy(sp).
     
  16. #16 Brenjin, Oct 5, 2010
    it also helps kill cancer too tho
     
  17. #17 ss3ltl, Oct 5, 2010
    This is my basic understanding of the the weed v. cancer issue: Weed has been documented to decrease the size of tumors in a number of cancers. They say it is because cancer cells need nutrients so they form a bunch of new blood vessels. This is called angiogensis. Weed some how decreases the tumors ability to create these new pathways to receive nutrients to grow and has the ability to decrease the tumor sizes.

    Also, tell your girl it would be long after she is dead from the brain cancer she gets from talkin on her cell phone before you get any weed-related brain cancer

    Whoever told you that you get brain cancer from smoking weed should kill themselves
