>>I guarantee you vaporized marijuana is significantly less damaging to the body than vaporized tobacco..

Lack of combustion.
 
i remember posting an article in ditm in which a study showed that an ingredient in marijuana actually prevented lung cancer and explained why most hippies who had been smoking pot their whole life hadnt developed lung cancer.

They totally forgot to mention in the article that because pot is so potent nowadays you can literally take 1 hit and be high...

umm this is old news and obvious


who really didn't know this already?


and it won't make me stop smoking pot.

+1 This is very old news and should be obvious to any pothead or anyone who's ever smoked pot.

Look, though.
If you were to vaporize tobacco (I think this only really commonly happens with Shisha smoked from hookahs), it would not be combusting, just like vaporized weed.

sorry this is not old news to me. for as long as I can remember all credible sources could never find any actual evidence that pot was worse for you than cigarettes.
 
I would like to, or have someone I trust, take a good look at the actual sample of marijuana they used for this test. Probably some back yard boogie
 
>>^ its been proven in study after study that pot vaporized IN A VAPORIZER has basically no ill-effects.>>

Indeed. However, there have been no studies of vaporized tobacco.

Canabis smoke has actually helped me grow out of my ashma. I used to have very bad breathing problems. It actually opened up my lungs and saved my life. Theres no way tobaco smoke would do that. I love having weed in my lungs. Much better then shitty brown pooopy tobbaco.
 
/takes huge hit out of vaporizer

/eats cannabrownie

...and the point of this ... is?

Im glad to hear this personally having quit pot 5 years ago. Its the shitest drug there is =D


Sooo... don't smoke it: A person can eat ganja or use a vaporizer.
Admittedly, pot isn't for weak minds.

Whoops, others have already said this. Oh well, I'm an extra twig adding more flame.

Can someone once and for all confirm if anyone anywhere has proven that someone has died from smoking marijuana... i.e lung cancer directly attributed to MJ smoking, or anything else?

Alcohol kills 100,000 people in the U.S. alone each year. But where has marijuana been found to cause a single death? There was a Greek study that came out last year linking pot smoking to lung cancer, but it studied a very small number of subjects who practically chain-smoked pot which was of unstated (IIRC) quality.

If it were bad for you, I think we'd know it by now. As pointed out by 3-3 and clamjuice, where is the proof of actual cancers and deaths? The government has no basis for allowing alcohol to be legal and prosecuting people for pot--except for the money behind the drug war. Greedy bastards.

oh and in my opinion, cannabis was meant to be orally consumed. Maybe thats why its up to 75% more potent to eat cannabis than smoking it?

so how do you explain the many people, myself included, who have never experienced any affects from eating cannabis besides an upset stomach? and we've eaten from the same batch that got other people wasted, so i know it wasn't a cooking mistake. i also know people who have become violently ill (vomiting profusely) from eating cannabis but have no problem smoking it.
 
210-Po

Seems like a pretty consistent comparison I guess. The only problem I have with it, along with all the other tobacco-marijuana smoke comparison studies they spew at us annually, is that they all seem devoid any reference to one possibly very significant component of mainstream tobacco smoke.
It is known as polonium-210. You may have heard speculation of it being used by the Russians to kill certain ex-spies. It is radioactive, an alpha-emitter, that may become concentrated on the tobacco leaf due to the use of phosphate fertilizers.

Here are some references on the internet:
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/149/3683/537 - If you can't access that try this: http://tobaccodocuments.org/lor/01196349-6360.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium
http://www.lenntech.com/Periodic-chart-elements/Po-en.htm

There doesn't seem to be any other extensive or unequivocally credible articles on the subject, which is the problem. It would seem to me, however, that having my lung tissues continuously bombarded with alpha-particles from po-210 (which is certainly a component of tobacco smoke) is going to give me cancer quicker than ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide or benzene.
 
Marijuana is medicine. It is also good for you. It makes you a healthier individual both mentally and physically.

Don't believe the lies of the oppressors.
 
no, you've got it backwards my friend.. it should be 'that's why you have to eat 2-3x less weed as you would if you were smoking it'.. then again it all comes down to being a good cook or not
No, no, no. Completely incorrect. You need 2-3 times the smoked dose to get anywhere near that orally.

That's why they sell 1.5 gram brownies at MMJ dispensaries, and everytime I've baked it, I usually use like 2 grams or more of flowers per dose.

And I make the most concentrated cannabutter possible.

yea:| i wasn't thinkin on that one.. your example makes more sense, as i bake gram peanut crackers all the time, while i smoke little pinches at a time.. but what explains the fact that it IS more potent orally consumed (i'm not too sure on an exact percent there) and how does that convert to a real life example because i'm just a bit confused now
