Smoking- A major cause of Cancers

[sgreger1]

I agree.

Bud is as healthy as it gets.

Highly recommended for all ages. I wonder why it's illegal

It's illegal due to some political drama that happened over 80 years ago here, and was further fueled by the war on drugs much more recently. Not good for all ages (just like tobacco), but for responsible adults, yes. Much healthier than beer, that's for sure.

Yah here in Cali smoking cigs is not really allowed in public anywhere (private property at least), but smoking bud is okay. Mainly because bud isn't harmful while smoking cigarettes is.

I would say so, green bud will always be safer as long as you use it right lol... "I wanna talk to samson!!!!... fly to the moon like that B*^&% alice cramdon, Haaard being black and gifted...sometimes you just wanna throw it all down and get lifted"

I can't agree that smoking canabis is good for you, in my view smoking anything is going to cause some harm due to the combustion of an organic material and the production of free radicals and the effect that it can have on triggering oncogenes and mutuaions to trigger cancer. Just smoking some substances is more enjoyable than others!

FYI I don't smoke canabis and won't as I think its bad (personal opinion) however I do not judge others who do, if thats your thing then fair play to you, keep on smokin!

I dont smoke period, just dont like the actual smoke itself. Smokeless Tabacco on the other hand I love it. There is no Dip here in China but when I was in Thailand the guys in the North Province used Betel nutt wrapped in tobacco leaves I think it was. LOL they all had like black teeth.

Not had a cigartte for a while now thanks to snus, but I know what you mean about the betel nutt, to quote Dave Mustaine - they smiled their black toothed grin! lol

Yah I don't smoke either. I had it prescribed by my doctor for a while and I used a vaporizer so that no plant matter is combusted. You are just melting off the THC and inhaling the vapor. Even with the smoke there are still no reported cases of cancer, but I agree that inhaling combusted plant matter isn't too healthy for your lungs. Luckily there are lots of ways to use it without breathing in smoke.

I wouldn't say cannabis is "god" for you, more like it isn't "bad" for you. It does have some supposed health benefits but the research isn't really conclusive yet.Research is pretty conclusive on the fact that it is pretty much harmless though.

I am actually very pro the health benefits, I forget it is legal in parts of the US for medical reasons. My OH's Dr actually said that its painkilling properties would be perfect for the chronic pain, only way we can get it here for that is the non legal way. I think in the right way the benefits of it can be used for good so I would welcome its use for that, and if you find it helps then who am I to criticize!

I know what you mean RE it being mostly harmless as it doesn't have any of the additives added to cigarette tobacco etc so I can agree it is a less harmful way of smoking. I dislike it as I know someone who is now institutionalised from smoking the stuff, so I tend to associate smoking it with that. As you say strip out the bit that gets you high and its uses are endless! Also I think the fact that it isn't smoked as frequently as cigarettes are then the expose to the smoke isn't going to damage you as much as smoking 40 marlies a day. If someone could smoke 40 joints a day i would be impressed but fear they may be a quivering wreck lol

Ever since I started vaporizing I haven't smoked.. Not only is it much better for my health, I also started to enjoy the flavor of vaporized herb and tobacco greatly.
