there was also a study done last year at John Hopkins as well that showed people who smoked weed had not only less chance of getting lung cancer than tobacco smokers, but something like a 0.1% chance less chance than people who smoke nothing at all!!!

no,no,no. you need pills for these things that ail you. where do people get off thinking that a natural herb could be beneficial to society, and it's major reason for prohibition dealt with hemp's superiority over cotton? pills, man. pills...

i don't pay any attention to pro pot propaganda. it makes me sad. instead, i prefer anti-pot propaganda, as it makes me laugh.

the difference here is these studies aren't propaganda - in fact with the John Hopkins study the admitted they were setting out just to prove their assumtions that it was as bad or worse than tobacco

anyway, I'm certainly not trying to spout propaganda!

Smoking weed is good for your lungs?

No way, if you're smoking anything, you're fuckin up your lungs.

Everything that burns gives off toxic gases and tars.

Them reefers peanut butter cups are pretty good though.

Ah!, but that Valcano shit is pretty clean.

it also inhibits your ability to be the person you know you really can be

unless!

all you want to be is who you are when you smoke weed

god I wish I was a big rap star and could smoke weed without all the paranoia, guilt and anxiety

ahhh

agreed, it really isn't that fun at all anymore.

yeah I agree - but weed is something like 400% stronger than it was in the 70s now thanks to hydroponics etc, I dont think the headphuck was quite so bad when cheech and chong were doing it

nah I dont think it's good for your lungs, just something in it appears to actually inhibit cancer

I could imagine if those in the Hopkins study weren't smoking but just ingesting the key ingredient then maybe it would be more profound than 0.1%

oh, i'm just being sarcastic. it just seems that nothing will change, regardless of pot's clear advantage of pro's>con's. i have become cynical, for humor, because it helps me deal with the ineptitude of government officials, the world over. rich men shall always walk on the broken backs of the poor, so pills will most likely prevail over scientific reason. pills, on the other hand are released early, basically without regulations, only to cause damage, both to consumers, and the inevitable lawsuits the companies face. yet still, every 10 minutes i am reminded, while hitting a bowl, that i should speak to my doctor, and see if fuckmyassupticus is right for me.

cynical is how i deal with what bothers me. it works... for now.

It was very strong back in the day. In totaly High school in the 70's we were getting crazy strong buds the size of small bananas from Hawaii. Purple hair frosty craziness and Thai sticks were all the rage.

absofucking lutely... I stopped smoking pot in 2002. I hate what they have done to it. Its not pot. its a super drug. its harder then ecstacy. it just makes me paranoid as all fuck. I remember being 14, and chillin with a joint, and it was a laugh, but by the time 2002 came around,, pot was a monster. and I am not old either. don't go thinking I am 50. its just todays pot, is sick. very crazy.

I guess that's what it is. I can't smoke it anymore. Yer right, I can't chill with it now.
