hatetown Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 yea, but you cant say that weed is just as harmful as cigarettes. if cancer runs in your family, and you also have a family history of smokers, you can still get cancer even if you've never smoked in your life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shai_hulud Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Some of the weed I handle makes my hands sticky for a day or two after the fact. Shit, some of it I can stick to the wall if it's fresh enough...I can't imagine smoking something that resinous could be good for you over the long term. Then again, I smoked tobacco for about 17 of the past 21 years, and pot for about 11 of the past 21 years. Yeah, I'm one to talk about healthy decisions...

the.crooked Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 an n of 79 is way too low. how the fuck are 79 people gonna tell you anything definitive. the last UK study on this used hundreds of people and showed no increase in lung cancer risk and it has been shown that pot has a positive effect on decreasing psychosis as for the cancer though: Marijuana use and the risk of lung and upper aerodigestive tract cancers: results of a population-based case-control study. i love you for comin through on the methodological scrutiny. and thanks for the other study, as i was too lazy to find those pro weed studies.

the.crooked Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The LD-50/50 of weed is damn near impossible to reach if not impossible. I am sure you would pass out first from smoke inhalation before you died of an overdose of cannabanoids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANALPUDDING Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 everyone always says weed is harmless... just like alcohol, but studies show otherwise... [url=]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7217601.stm[/url] Warning over cannabis lung harm Cannabis bundle The impact of cannabis on the lungs depends on how it is smoked Heavy cannabis users may be at greater risk of chronic lung disease - including cancer - compared to tobacco smokers, two studies suggest. One study found a higher risk of lung cancer for those who smoked one joint a day compared with those who smoked 20 cigarettes a day over the same period. Another found bullous disease - a form of emphysema - occurs 20 years earlier in cannabis smokers. The studies appear in Respirology and the European Respiratory Journal. Both studies come at a time when the government is considering whether to change the laws on the possession of cannabis. Deep inhalation The lung cancer study was conducted on 79 patients in New Zealand. The risk of the disease rose 8% for each year of smoking one joint a day, and 7% for each year of smoking a packet of cigarettes a day. The situation is complicated in the UK as the two drugs are almost always smoked mixed together Steve Rolles Transform Drug Policy Foundation Researchers at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand admitted it was a small study, but said nonetheless "it shows clearly that long-term cannabis smoking increases lung cancer risk". They speculated the heightened risk may be connected to the fact that the cannabis smoker inhales more deeply and for longer, increasing the amount of carbon monoxide. This was also thought to be the issue in a second, smaller study of 10 patients who were treated for chronic respiratory problems at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. All admitted intense cannabis use for at least a year. They had developed bullous lung disease, a condition where air becomes trapped in the lungs, at an average age of 41, compared to 65 for tobacco smoking patients. The campaign group Transform Drug Policy Foundation said it was very difficult to separate cannabis from tobacco use as the two were so often smoked together. "Variations on the 'cannabis is more dangerous than tobacco' have been emerging sporadically for several decades. Different research using different methodologies has suggested very different conclusions, making such comparisons problematic," said spokesman Steve Rolles. He added that inhaling smoke from any burning object was intrinsically harmful, and that policy should focus more on educating people about the risks of taking the drug - which can be taken using other methods - in this way. The British Lung Foundation said the debate about cannabis's effect on the lungs had tended to focus on the mental affects, overlooking the impact on the lungs. "Many people don't know that smoking a joint is more harmful to the lungs than smoking a cigarette, as marijuana is often inhaled more deeply and held for longer," said Dr Noemi Eiser, honorary medical director of the British Lung Foundation. "The New Zealand study highlights the carcinogenic properties of cannabis smoke and it is a great worry that these exist in similar or even greater proportions to tobacco smoke." The UK Government may decide later this year whether it will reclassify cannabis as a class B drug, having downgraded it to a class C substance in 2004. There is evidence to suggest that usage has fallen since reclassification occurred. if its a government study then that shits false.. its probably just a scare attempt to get niggas to quit. seriously. one joint a day is worse then a whole fucking pack of smokes? come on now. that doesnt even sound right.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
