Comments on Good News for Pot Smokers

cancer be damned...quality weed is it's own reward.

Cancer risk, probably not much. Schizophrenia risk, yes, studies show there is a link. Having lost a sister to this illness (suicide), I would like to hear more warnings on the risk of pot smoking causing psychosis.

I remember something like that from my DARE class back in the day. It said something like smoking a joint had the same harmful chemicals as a bowl full of filtered cigarettes.

Is there any science behind this myth?

I'm a regular marijuana smoker and I also smoke a cigarette very infrequently. I find that when I smoke a cigarette, which I do about once every six months because I'm stupid, my lungs feel fucked up for two days. Marijuana seems to have no adverse effects, at the least when I smoke a small amount of high quality stuff. Of course this doesn't speak to cancer risk, but I think it provides circumstantial evidence that cigarette smoke is much worse than a small amount of marijuana smoke.

Actually, the ability to make THC patches has been around for quite a while now. But, of course, we'll never see it happen, because that would require the government to admit that it's a legitimate drug.

It's a shame we can't return to the high quality government hemp days.

;-)

lame keyboard skillz.

...and the US government has never produced anything close to high-quality marijuana.

So what were you saying?

NOW you tell me? i just quit!

sorry, I'm having trouble with this keyboard and weird things are happening.

Will, what are you talking about? You weren't yet born when the US stopped encouraging hemp manufacture, and no US agency has ever produced anything resembling high-quality pot. So what are you saying exactly? What is it a shame we can't return to?

Somebody should do a study to see if using a bong or vaporizer reduces your chances of getting lung cancer from marijuana. I volunteer to be a test subject.
