Only partially true. There are carinogens in weed smoke, but THC blocks them. You can't get lung cancer from smoking marijuana. And even if you could, weed it edible and non-combusted weed does not contain carcinogens.

Inhaling smoke is always bad. Research is even starting to suggest that priests are at a higher risk of cancer just from all the candle smoke they inhale.

Also, pot wrecks your memory. I've personally witnessed this with numerous people. My former boss was a pot smoker and would always bring up things in meetings that she had covered in a previous meeting, and we'd have to stop her and remind her.

>>1209489
>So why isn't smoking marijuana as dangerous as smoking cigarettes in terms of cancer risk?

The answer isn't clear, but the experts say it might have something to do with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is a chemical found in marijuana smoke.

Cellular studies and even some studies in animal models suggest that THC has antitumor properties, either by encouraging the death of genetically damaged cells that can become cancerous or by restricting the development of the blood supply that feeds tumors, Tashkin tells WebMD.

In a review of the research published last fall, University of Colorado molecular biologist Robert Melamede, PhD, concluded that the THC in cannabis seems to lessen the tumor-promoting properties of marijuana smoke.

The nicotine in tobacco has been shown to inhibit the destruction of cancer-causing cells, Melamede tells WebMD. THC does not appear to do this and may even do the opposite.

There is zero evidence of long term brain damage from chronic marijuana use. All memory impairment is short term and only last as long as there are high levels of THC still in the brain. As soon as marijuana usage ceases, brain activity returns to normal.

I just ran a marathon a few eeks ago. I am confident I couldn't have done that if I smoked regularly.
also I'm guessing your in your mid to late 20s. One persons experience over 10 years is not a large enough sample size for me to be convinced of anything. I went to high school with several very sharp kids that fucked up there life big time by getting addicted to pot.
Report back after 30 or so years and we'll see how your respiratory tract is doing.

Well the government tried to stop its use because it's use and sale were highly related to criminal activity, so they banned it. Things have not changed that much sense then so they are going to keep the ban, however medically it can be good for you. The only thing bad about it is the criminality that follows.

>> No.1210538

Seriously I'm surprised even /sci/ is full of uninformed idiots.

No weed isn't as bad as it's made out to be by the media, but it is related to certain brain disorders, and not everyone handles it in the same way. Some people have had serious problems with it.

Now I'm not saying this is why it should be banned, because OP didn't ask that. It's much much safer than alcohol and any other drug there is, but it still has its problems.

Plus the gateway drug theory is still debatable.

maybe thats why it feels like I'm gonna have a seizure or something, feels like a giant chain reaction going on in my head that i can't stop, i feel myself losing control and I have to concentrate really hard to make it quiet down.

around age 20, you lose the ability to build myelin sheath. long term heavy weed use WILL result in slight, but measurable brain shrinkage. WIKIPEDIA THAT SHIT.

two main cannabinoids in cannabis: d9THC and CBD, they tend to balance each other out in terms of psychoactive effect, however, CBD is believed to be responsible for most of weeds benefits, YET IT IS BEING SELECTIVELY ELIMINATED FROM STREET STRAINS due to the high demand for the strong THC psychoactive effect.

fuck cites, read some goddamn science and fuckin wikipedia has oodles of relatively balanced info on this.

it actually only increases the risk of developing schizophrenia if you are already prone to it, i.e. if your probably going to get it later anyway.

lol i can't believe he was right, i guess it makes sense though, your marks looked like they could go either way for admission or not (if you didn't have legacy)

also republicans? why would republicans hate legacy admissions? it's the minorities that hate legacy programs because old white republicans get their kids into yale, princeton and harvard (and apparently cornell)

Weed has difference effects on everyone. while the descriptions provided by say, Erowid.org or even wikipedia may be very accurate for most people, there is always going to be a SPECTRUM of different symptoms.

as for its PHYSICAL effects, it is my completely uninformed opinion that the hazards range, for example, as such:

smoked cannabis < smoked tobacco

i dont think anyone will dispute this, but someone should back me up anyway as this is /sci/

probably depends on if tobacco is filtered or not

Ok, but I'm not lying, I don't really care if you believe me or not, I love math and physics and I've said this plenty of times here but I'll say it again, I can math while high, sometimes I even come to great insights during it.

I know that the stereotypical stoner is a burn-out loser, but thats because weed is kind to all who use it, and those types of people tend to truly DEVOTE their lives to marijuana.

I just smoke it for fun.

I hate it when people smoke weed, the smell alone is enough to make me want to vomit, it smells soo awful, just as bad as a skunk

However I was actually able to inhale the stuff for the first time about 5 months ago. me and a friend used a vaporizer, it was too much for me to handle, but I did end up having the most incredible sex I could ever imagine having for the rest of my life, sooo....meh
