I'm taking a botany class because...you know why. Anyway, my textbook says that "Regular use of marijuana for a year has been shown to have the same effect on human lungs as smoking one and a half packs of cigarettes a day for 13 years." Right away, I call BULLSHIT. Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection New US Study Affirms Smoked Marijuana Protects Against Cancer. | NowPublic News Coverage I'm posting this because I didn't want to tear my instructor and anyone else in school three new ones because of a single paragraph in a clearly retarded textbook. Anyone else have legit sources I could drop on people to counter their obviously anti-drug bullshit?
look in the legal section I think they have several studies posted there that have everything you would need. That said, good luck convincing anyone of it.
New US Study Affirms Smoked Marijuana Protects Against Cancer. | NowPublic News Coverage Are you high?
Bottom line smoke causes damage to your lungs, and can cause cancer, marijuana doesnt cause cancer but the smoke does, use a vaporizer and salvage your lungs.
the way people smoke weed and the fact that they inhale for alot longer than anyone smoking a cigarette does make it unhealthly for your lungs. Its smoke, theres no denying it, its bad to have inside of you. Just because it doesn't increase your risk of cancer doesn't mean its not bad for you. however, that being said, 13 years of 1 and a half packs of cigs is nuts.
I've always been under the impression that 1 joint = 6 cigs I got that from a health teacher and always stood by that. Who the fuck knows what kind of bullshit was taught to students 10 years ago.
In the textbook for the biology course I am taking, it credits the beneficial medicinal properties of cannabis and says how it ain't so bad.
Are you? "Regular use of marijuana for a year has been shown to have the same effect on human lungs as smoking one and a half packs of cigarettes a day for 13 years." I might be missing it but I see no claims of cancer in there...
I quoted 3 sentences. There might be more; i only skimmed through it. Let me walk you through it Malignancy = bad form of cancer
It's all bullshit. Even if it does cause cancer I don't give a shit I would rather be mentally healthy then physically healthy. Were all gonna die one day why the hell not alter your sense of time with mj. I get chronic stomache pains every day andI get high the pain is gone. The severity of my digestive problems makes me unable to live a normal day. Fuck what anybody says I know for a fact that its a god send. Best medicine possible for anything.
