    you mean something you burn and inhale >500 times a day isn't as bad as something you burn and inhale ~15 times?

    that is like groundbreaking.

    Unlike cigarette smokers, marijuana users tend to breathe in deeply when they inhale a joint, which some researchers think might strengthen lung tissue. But the common lung function tests used in the study require the same kind of deep breathing that marijuana smokers are used to, so their good test results might partly reflect lots of practice, said Kertesz, a drug abuse researcher and preventive medicine specialist at the Alabama university.

    Wow! Who knew that smoking weed was exercise for the lungs?

    Quality post. If weed were ever legalised (dreaming obv), the advertisers have the perfect motto right there. Sales would sky rocket

    if weed became legal would it be like that transition from minor to legal drinking age? where a lot of the fun of drinking just vanishes after it's suddenly okay with society

    What is unfair is those of us who do not like it but have to smoke it because of our cataracts.

    Always wondered what the effects of someone who used weed via vaporization would be this I think would be the true test. Cuz damage caused by lighter fluid or the fact you were inhaling high temp smoke would be taken out of the equation.

    Most of the carcinogens are avoided as well since you aren't burning anything.

    propaganda is a wonderful thing

    POT = gateway drug
    POT = black men raping helpless white women
    POT = evil plant put on earth by GOD
    POT = devil incarnate
    POT = #1 reason nonviolent people are in jail

    POT is clearly the devil's work so there isn't much more to discuss.
