Cannabis WORSE than Tobacco

Cannabis harm worse than tobacco

The impact of cannabis is worsened by how joints are smoked.

A single cannabis joint could damage the lungs as much as smoking up to five tobacco cigarettes one after another, scientists in New Zealand have said.
The research, published in the journal Thorax, found cannabis damaged the large airways in the lungs causing symptoms such as coughing and wheezing.

And don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t addictive as well as damaging to your health.

Interesting article, Mischief, and it sounds to me like exercise was critical to his remarkable improvement?

Oh yeah so it was. D’oh. Wrong article! I meant to put in the one that included him getting his brains mashed up. When do you go back to Kuwait?

First we celebrate my Mom’s BD and I take care of business here – don’t I make it sound all business-y? Actually, it is Seafair Week, the weather is gorgeous, I get to see lots of old friends and . . . the weather is gorgeous, or did I say that already? Hmmmm. . . . gorgeous vs steamy? gorgeous vs steamy . . . .

Seems to me the UK had some very strange and severe flooding this summer. . . do you think that is more global warming?

Yeah definitely. It could also be karma if you want to look at it more metaphorically on a global scale. Global warming seems more likely to me though…

I think almost any substance can be abused and that it’s ridiculous that marijuana is illegal when it is much less dangerous when it is abused than when alcohol is. http://stonerdiary.wordpress.com
