WTF, CFLs

Yeah, so do cell phones apparently and I sleep with that way closer to my head than my lamp ever gets.

 

I think he was making fun of this, "Their report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone's head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on".

 

Everything causes cancer...

 

So they're only emitted when it's switched on? I'll just use an umbrella or something then.

Just sounds like a biased study because regular light bulb sales are dropping.

 

Precisely. I just pictured someone with their face three inches from a fluorescent bulb for an extended period of time. If you took out everything that caused cancer out of your life, you wouldn't be able to participate in a lot of things. I'm not saying I'm not concerned, I'm just saying say goodbye to 90% of the food you eat if you want to be 100% cancer percentage free. Just a thought.

 

I'd like to point out that a lot of growers grow in a box under cfls

So most of the pot we smoke is covered in these chemicals which are white crystals (looks like trichomes) because most of the plants.life is spent under cfls 24/7 untilled flowering

 

Everything causes cancer... So who gives a fuck?

 

Hell, you can get a certain kind of cancer from eating hotdogs.

And raw mushrooms contain carcinogens as well

Sunlight too

Basically live a healthy lifestyle with lots of cancer fighting raw veggies because its quite impossible to avoid cancer causing agents

 

yup, good nutrition is how you stop cancer. ironic that the medical profession uses tools from the outside world to target cancer when your body knows how to cure itself with the right fuel.

the documentary "Food Matters" had a bit where a cancer patient was cured with 250,000 mg of vitamin C; about 416,500% of recommended daily intake.

 

the biggest light bulb we have causes cancer too....

i dont see anyone going to turn off the sun...

But seriously lol, everything causes fucking cancer it seems, im not actually surprised with CFL's doing it

EDIT: im also a little skeptical about this source

one of the toxins in claims to produce is a hydro-carbon (aka flammable, butane, octane, methane are all hydro-carbons) and under that assumption, the heat from a CFL would definitely evaporate it, hence making the surrounding area flammable....

 

candle light bitch.

 

Knowing this, can one assume that it would be smart to consume an "excessive" amount of vitamin C/D daily?

Usually when I feel a sickness coming on I will take ~ 2,000% dv of vitamin D/C (even though at that point it is probably too late).

Should I just start taking this amount regularly?

 

Does this mean that CFLs are no longer a good/safe use for growing MJ? That's my only real concern, as I use incandescents otherwise.

 

An ounce of preventative is worth more than a pound of treatment, after all.
