@Study by the university of california

Question: Study: Smoking Marijuana Does Not Raise Lung Cancer Risk
I heard that smoking marijuana will not cause lung cancer. Is this true? Does smoking marijuana increase my risk for lung cancer?
Answer: According to a recent study by the University of California Los Angeles, there is no increased lung cancer risk in smoking marijuana.

The study presented at the annual American Thoracic Society meeting this week in San Diego, studied the lives of those under 60, since that age group is most to have been exposed to the heaviest amounts of marijuana use.

The “baby boomer” group was comprised of 611 lung cancer patients, 601 head and neck cancer patients and 1040 people who did not have cancer. The study found no increased risk of lung and head and neck cancer. However, it did find a significant increased risk factor in those who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day.

The study also suggests that marijuana contains more than 50% more of the chemicals related to lung cancer than cigarettes, its a chemical inside marijuana called THC that may prevent cancer from developing.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, may have the ability to kill damaged cells before they become cancerous.

i hope you die from an aspirin overdose

Number of American deaths per year that result directly or primarily from the following selected causes nationwide, according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance Actuarial (death) Rates, and the last 20 years of U.S. Surgeon Generals’ reports.

TOBACCO 340,000 to 450,000
ALCOHOL (Not including 50% of all highway deaths and 65% of all murders) 150,000+
ASPIRIN (Including deliberate overdose) 180 to 1,000+
CAFFEINE (From stress, ulcers, and triggering irregular heartbeats, etc.) 1,000 to 10,000
“LEGAL” DRUG OVERDOSE (Deliberate or accidental) from legal, prescribed or patent medicines and/or mixing with alcohol - e.g. Valium/alcohol 14,000 to 27,000
ILLICIT DRUG OVERDOSE (Deliberate or accidental) from all illegal drugs. 3,800 to 5,200
MARIJUANA 0

(Marijuana users also have the same or lower incidence of murders and highway deaths and accidents than the general non-marijuana using population as a whole. Crancer Study, UCLA; U.S. Funded ($6 million), First & Second Jamaican Studies, 1968 to 1974; Costa Rican Studies, 1980 to 1982; et al. LOWEST TOXICITY 100% of the studies done at dozens of American universities and research facilities show pot toxicity does not exist. Medical history does not record anyone dying from an overdose of marijuana. (UCLA, Harvard, Temple, etc.)

I think people either suck or don’t suck, regardless of their affiliation with pot. Generally, it gives people who suck another outlet to suck, by being hooked on doing it constantly, or people who are fun another outlet to be fun.

[tinsil]

pot helps my dad get though chemo. He lost 60 lbs. Then started smoking, he’s gained most of it back. he eats again, sleeps again, hes not depressed anymore.

There is also a report that pot shrinks tumors
http://www.mapinc.org/newscc/v01/n572/a11.html
In 1974, researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice – lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia.

When abused, just like any other drug, of course it has bad effects. But do you ban alcohol, cigarettes, aspirin, coffee, ? should the rest of the population suffer cause 10% of the population are morons. well, thats darwinism

i agree, there are a lot of people that are a complete waste that smoke, and then there are a lot more people who dont smoke that are a complete waste…

they have also proved it can help prevent Alzheimer’s and improve brain functions

lol @ Jay instantly being so outraged at something like this.

it’s comical, and illegal, but it’s not criminal. I think it’s a lot less annoying than when teenagers talk super loudly about “how crazy ripped” they got the night before, while at work.

[newman]

weed is hilariously lame.

[Skurge]

@newman

weed is hilariously lame.

when the world runs out of oil, or it becomes too expensive…it wont be lame to be putting it into your gas tanks to get around town

or when we harvest too many trees and cant even make any paper, you’ll be writing on it

besides, what facts do you have to back up that its lame, any negative comments have just been that, comments…no backing whatsoever

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation: Then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world’s paper and textiles; meeting all of the world’s transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time…

And that substance is—the same one that did it all before—

Cannabis Hemp…Marijuana!

[TORQDSS]

Jay I know right where this is and yes, they must be retarded for doing it there. I would have started yelling out the window, maybe the cops would have heard it.

[JayS]

I don’t give a shit that they smoke pot. Good for them. Sometimes I wish I had so little responsibility in life that I could kick back smoking weed at 3 in the afternoon on a weekday.

I was a little pissed they thought they could do it on our private property here at work, but hell, not like I own the building. Mostly I was just amused at how retarded they were, especially given that they were doing something clearly illegal 10 feet from our windows, in an area where APD response time would be measured in seconds, even if the cop responded on foot.

[dawn]

Smoke weed everyday.

No.

It’s still lame.

[ShiftDead]

Pot is not lame at all. Of course I no longer do it for recreation but when I did it was good times. There is a blatant difference between using and abusing or using addictively.

[yamba6]

@JayS

lol, it would probably still take the APD to much time to get there, they probably would finish and drive away, 5 minutes later the cop would pull in.

I really wonder though, do they send a car from the head quarters to something that close, or do they call an on duty patrol car to the scene that may be 5 minutes away.

[Skurge]

@Minglor

No.

It’s still lame.

nice, so your what…in 5th grade?

thats how my 5th grade cousin explains himself…

so i guess you think george washington and thomas jefferson were lame also?

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew cannabis on their plantations. Jefferson, while envoy to France, went to great expense, and even considerable risk to himself and his secret agents, to procure particularly good hempseeds smuggled illegally into Turkey from China. The Chinese Mandarins (political rulers) so valued their hemp seed that they made its exportation a capital offense.

@george washington

“Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, sow it everywhere.”

how about ben franklin?

Benjamin Franklin started one of America’s first paper mills with cannabis. This allowed America to have a free colonial press without having to beg or justify the need for paper and books from England.
