Didn't say it would necessarily cause cancer but the effects of bad lung health will definitely be there.

Not every cigarette smoker gets cancer but the chances are there.

I don't know about weed smoke causing damage to your lungs. Is there like a study or something where it has been tested.


I'm guessing the reason cigarette smoke is different is because of all the chemicals.


Might be wrong, but I don't think weed smoke causes lung damage.

Exactly. I hate when people I know in real life call me stupid or that "I'm going to lose my brain cells", "acid stays in ur spine dude", like honestly do research before u start talkin. Lol. But ya everyone should do research before they try, or bash others about it

iii) Marijuana also affects brain development. When marijuana users begin using as teenagers, the drug may reduce thinking, memory, and learning functions and affect how the brain builds connections between the areas necessary for these functions

Well I did mine, did you??

Aside from the jibber jabber about how one might obtain weed, I ask one simple question --

Why smoke in the first place?

I always told myself as a kid I would never do drugs, never smoke weed especially. And since high school, a lot of people do it and I did a lot of research and found out it's actually not nearly as harmful or bad for u as your parents may make it seem. And bein high is for me, just like being really happy, laughing a lot, and just feeling good about life.

I still have NEVER taken one hit of a ciggarette or any sort of tobacco product. I know my limits and to not put harmful stuff into my body. (Even tho weed can be laced), but I still consider myself a smart druggie who knows what he's doin.

Distorted I'm not a ****ing doctor but depending on how long you've been smoking there will be effects.

You may not see it, you may not feel it but its there.

Those who start smoking don't immediately feel the effects and even after some time they may get used to it and not even notice.

If I'll never see or feel the effects then I don't give a ****.

Also my doctor actually prescribed it to me.

For every page you find that says it hurts you we could find a thousand that says contrary. Do you really want to do that with us?  

I do believe the effects take longer to develop since people who smoke weed don't smoke it as much or as consistently as people who smoke cigarettes do.

The study that said it hurt your lungs was performed on monkeys and they were only provided Marijuana smoke and deprived of oxygen.

As far as I know.

GOAT, smoking anything will have some effect on your lungs.

Anything that isn't air will have an effect on your lungs and then your body.

Well I know plenty of people who have lived longer than I hope to consistently smoking marijuana, and are perfectly healthy.

Right, well do whatever you want. I honestly didn't care to begin with.

Just know nothing has "no negative effects". If there was do you think weed would even be illegal to begin with?  

Chong is 77 years old and has been smoking his entire life.

Also has lived a full life.


Please explain his huge medical problems to me.

Can't reply to that.

That was the original reason I turned down anti-depressants though, I suppose after being told I had it my mind fabricated it.

So yeah.



Marijuana smoke isn't bad for your lungs, it doesn't contain the same chemicals as tobacco which harm you.

I have stated that I don't believe in smoking and driving though, so I'll agree with the rest of your post.

Have you heard of a video game addiction? I sure hope so, because that's a mental dependency, for the record.

There is evidence that depression is not only genetic, but an evolutionary phenomena as well, hence why it occurs roughly at the same age for younger individuals, but recurring for some, simply because genes aren't exactly perfect, when considering epigenetics, etc.

The best way to deal with depression isn't to inhale chemicals to somehow "compensate" for the chemical imbalance associated with depression by providing a temporary satisfaction, and the same goes for antidepressants.

If it is in fact evolutionary, therefore genetic, then it's a phenomena that has likely been going for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, most likely when religion started playing a role in understanding of the universe (probably around 30-40 thousand years ago), also when neanderthals and our own species were in conflict, or the novel theory that we were banging each other resulting in our own dna being scarred with a bit of neanderthal dna.

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is typically thought of as physical, but could it perhaps be a mental process as well? It would be an evolutionary advantage to not only understand how the universe works (depression is associated with the need to understand and results in some sort of acceptance), but to also survive, if you will, the state of being depressed.

In conclusion, the best way to "treat" depression would be to receive communicative help, but I'm not a social psychologist or neurologist, and I don't think you are either. Then again, this is a philosophical discussion, after all.

It doesn't have to be smoked. Say it's eatin???? So is it still bad for u?

Yes because there were flawed experiments that construed it as harmful.

Distorted that is ****ing ******ed.

You want me to diagnose somebody that I have literally never met, seen or heard about and take your word that he is "healthy".

Stop, I just don't care.
