Does weed produce carcinogens (i.e. cancer-causing agents)?
More so than tobacco so I hear. That could just be government rubbish, but who am I to know, they have banned research on it. Well last time I bothered to check, maybe that has been lifted.
I don’t see the big deal… it’s not addictive what so ever. Only when you mix it with tobacco… mix it with some store bought “herbal mix” and you could choof for a month and the only side-effects you get from not smoking afterwards would be a “mull-over” for a few days.
I did however let it run me at some stage (it’s the tobacco, I’ll swear to that!) went about 2 years without a day off… then i moved interstate, didn’t have any access to it. Wasn’t a big deal I was still getting my nico fix from cigs. Then I got sick and gave up cigs cold turkey.
Thats when mixing with tobacco troubles start… esp if you are not a cigarrette smoker you think you need it, but really you just need the tobacco your putting with it.
steps down from the anti-tobacco soapbox
hehe… nah I dont mind anyone that smokes even if I don’t anymore, my wife still smokes, I enjoy the smell, don’t enjoy the ash-trays [:P]
From what I hear I’m lucky being able to be in the centre of a ring of smokers and not feel the need to ask for some… a part of me still wants to, but I think it’s been 7 months thus far, why bother.
Doobage can be a medicine or a demon that will eat away your sanity + sap yr motivation. It’ll make you lazy as fuck too. So if you wanna remain beautiful strong sexy and intelligent weed is probably NOT for you.
Damn, you jigs are sooo p to the enis.
Agreed, will definately make you incredibly lazy, I’m sure there are people that can stay motivated… but the majority, that I have met anyway, the above kinda sums it up.
Here’s my weed take…
I smoked for 2 1/2 years. started when I was 25 stopped when I was roughly 28. I’ve done an UNGODLY amount of research on weed prior to me smoking. Not because I was interested in smoking but because I was interested in the prohibition aspect. I was a straight edger in High school but thought people should do as they pleased so if they wanted to get high, fuck it, let 'em. SO I was a straight edger for legalization.
Anyway, long story short, multiple Reports in highschool, Better written multiple reports in college later, there are no carcinegens in weed “BUT OH MY GOD THERE IS WAY MUCH MORE TAR IN WEED!” yeah but it’s Au Natural, meaning you stop smoking and your body breaks it down and sends it out. The reason cigarette tar doesn’t break down is because it’s got everything from fermaldahyde to amonia in there, of course that shit ain’t going anywhere.
From experience, weed was HARD AS FUCK TO STOP! maybe i was buying weed laced with tobacco but either way I had to get drunk just so I could go to sleep. (I’m not a big alcohol fan so that was easy to stop that once I could sleep normal again) otherwise I would lay there wide awake with my brain going “Ay buddy, ain’t you forgetting something!?”
The only reason i stopped was because I would get MAJOR panic attacks, so it was a pretty easy choice to make: hmmmmmm panic attack??? quit cold turkey? Also, I spent a lot of time there at the end thinking about death! weird hugh? but, yeah, trying to fore see my death. will I be tortured? will I die screaming? Car crash? old age? car crash from old age? will I be murdered? will I see it coming? then I would try to imagine what will it feel like? it seemed like the last month that’s all it was. and I’d think, WHy the fuck am i thinking about this shit? and I’d try to stop but just like a skipping record I would go right back into it.
So I’m much better off now. I’ve got money in the bank (well sort of) I don’t forget what I’m talking about while I’m in the middle of the conversation. it’s sucks when you’re talking and then you have to turn to the person you are talking to in mid word and say “what were we talking about again?”
been off for roughly 3 years and it’s cool. I think stairwell said it best, like the smell, but it’s nice to be in the middle of a ring of smokers and not need to take a hit! It’s weird, sometimes I dream about smoking weed and it’s always the same…been clean for so long, I try it again, no panic attack and son of bitch I’m hooked again! I’m always disapointed with myself but then I wake up and it’s all cool.
Anyway, back on topic. there are No known sole marijuana deaths. All of the emphazyma cases related with weed all have tobacco in common. Hell, more people die from Bronchiol inhalers than from weed.
for a real easy oversimplification of the whole weed deal check out “the Emperor wears no clothes” by Jack herrer. It’s gopt some pretty ugly Post Hoc and burden of Proof fallacies but it will give you the general knowldege.

I met this guy who smokes EIGHTEEN PLUS bowls a day.
That’s scary enough.
But guess what he was reading when I met him?
The Book of fucking NOD.
Does that raise anyone else’s red flags?
