TUESDAY, Jan. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Unlike the cigarette habit, occasional pot smoking does not seem to trigger declines in lung function that could lead to breathing problems, a new 20-year study suggests.

"Occasional" cigarette smoking probably doesn't either.

The irony is that it's entirely possible that cigarette smokers might be prescribed pot to smoke.

No

But it might cure cancer, adhd, anxiety, pain, etc. All those reasons that 1/2 the USA is ON SOMETHING, mostly OPIUM (like heroine) for pain. Oxycontin hydrocodon vikodin abilify ... the list is long.

Prohibition is against our constitution of freedom. It turns our military against ourselves. End prohibition for good - legalize everything. And as for the criminals running the govt, they'll pay eventually.

Matthew|23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Cigarettes are good too if consumed responsibly, without a filter. I've smoked about 1 cig/month for the last 10 years (too much before that - like pot it has a "burnout" stage).

Cheech: what is in this shit, man? Man: Mostly Maui-waui, man...
Cheech: Yeah? Man: ... but it's got some labrador in it. Cheech: what's labrador? Man: It's dog shit, man. Cheech: what! Man: Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man. Had it on the table and the little motherfucker ate it. It really blew the dog's mind, man. Cheech: You mean we're smoking dog shit, man? (full quote)

Good point, with pot not being any more harmful than cigarettes (and alcohol), it should be legal.

Q: What do you call a pothead that doesn't inhale?
A: Mr. President.

Q: What is the difference between a drunk guy and a stoner at a stop sign?
A: The drunk guy runs it and the stoner waits for it to turn green!

2 FFs for Atax.

That's nice and I've always been OK with legalizing it but I'll still stick to nicotine & Scotch as my drugs of choice

I was wondering how long it would take for this to make it to DR.

9 was the funny one. The first was okay.

Legalize it; regulate it.

WE learned this is sociology when I was in school back in the early 90's. A joint is worse overall than a cigarette, but most joints are not smoked by a single person where as all cigarettes are. Also, the when one does smoke a joint alone, it is no where near teh same size as a cigarette.

Also, if you compare the most dedicated cigarette smoker to the most dedicated pot-smoker, you will find that the amount of smoke going into their lungs is not even close to comparable. Some people go through 40 cigarettes a day. There isn't a human on the planet who could handle that many joints, and if there is, there are far fewer of them than there are 2-pack-a-day smokers.

Pot smokers do inhale deeper, but cigarette smokers inhale more often. The frequency does far more damage than the depth.

13: "A joint is worse overall than a cigarette, "

Except it doesn't have ammonia and 600 other chemicals in it.

But yeah, points taken.

Except it doesn't have ammonia and 600 other chemicals in it.


Very true. I was speaking more of nicotine and tar content. When I used to smoke, I smoked either American Spirits or Winstons because they added nothing.

Furthermore, you can cut out 80 to 90 percent of the combustible material by using a vaporizer. And you can reduce the number of hits by using stronger weed or hash.

Alice B. Toklas ring a bell?
