    why do people say that marijuana is worst for the lungs than tobacco? i am asthmatic and when i smoke marijuana it never affects my lungs but when i smoke tobacco my lungs feel very tight and uncomfortable. i don't understand this theory

    because they're not doctors, yea combusted materials inhaled is bad but not as bad as tobacco. It's lack of knowledge, common sense, 1st hand experience.

    myths started to keep it illegal. enlighten the idiots who say that. weed opens your lungs up so more tar comes out than with tobbacco. also i smoked tobacco in a cig and pulled the filter out it was soaked with nasty crap. do the same with weed (put it in a filtered cig) and im saying its about 1/10th of the tobbacco tar on that filter. tobbacco is so much worse for your lungs.
    weed is bad for your lungs but it isnt going to affect very much at all. like you wont even be able to tell neither would a doc or anyone really.

    Because their following theories from long ago that haven't been scientifically tested.Today new result's came from actual scientific test's on marijuana proving it's harmless.But because weed is in the category of drug's,people still stick to those lies against it.

    because they dont smoke it, they really dont care about the truth....all they care about is an agenda to either
    #1 eliminate marijuawna and other drugs becayuse they feel drugs r bad
    or
    #2 to slowly chip away at our liberites and increase goverment control over people

    they are also stupid. you should try to educate them...some of them actauly listen

    either way theres tar going into your lungs, i know weed opens your lungs up compared to tabbacco closing them so maybe all the tar comes right back out. i wouldnt be surprised.

    Why waste a joint to just burn when you could smoke it. Weed's not cheap.

    Its obvious.

    They have been lied to.By there government.The ones put in power to protect not harm.What have they done?Lied to you about everything you think you know of ass truth.They've been lying a lot a lot a lot more than just about Marijuana.

    Yet no that can't be the case.They ain't going to lie about that.Come on now.If they lie about a fucking harmless plant that could save a few peoples live they won't lie over anything else.Damn sure not aliens or anytinhg of the sorts.

    Yeah get out of that thinking process.They lie about everything.People are waking up and becomming aware.They are lossing control and its amazing how us humans are taking power back.Slow but steadliy.

    These bank ceos and top 500 companies all resigning.Somethings about to go down.Or atleast they do believe that to be the case.

    If its Super Flares or a polar shift I don't know.It doesn't really matter as long as we take back our planet.Or share it whatever but the fact remains the same.The government isn't a good entity and they've lied to you all your life.

    The better question is why did we evolve cannabanoid receptors?
     
  13. #13 MandalaSmoker, Mar 31, 2012
    Who ever said it had to be an evolutionary process that created them?
     
  14. #14 mc9391, Mar 31, 2012
    if anyones ever used a sploof, tar and shit from the weed smoke sticks to the drier sheets and you can see it right there, so yes tar and shit get into your lungs, but it doesnt have the fuckin hundreds of chemicals that are in cigs. rat poison is in cigarette smoke, as well as a ton of other harmful chemicals, that is why cigs cause cancer and are worse for you. these people say that weeds worse because they wont open up their minds to the idea that smoking weed is actually ok, and believe the above the influence bull shit facts and all those other anti drug websites that give out facts but have no sources or anything that support them

    If you think you need more, just click that first link in my sig! I have most of the old myths covered!

    For a giggle, set your anti-cannabis friends down in front of the computer, and click that link! Bet them $10 they can't read all the titles in one sitting! (420 pages!). ;)

    You may lose the $10, but they will never look at cannabis the same ever again! :smoke: To hedge your bet, (improve the odds) send me an email, and I'll send you my big 2012 List- 670 pages! :eek: No way they'll get through it! lol My email is at the bottom of my sig)
