People who smoke marijuana do not appear to be at increased risk for developing lung cancer, new research suggests.
While a clear increase in cancer risk was seen among cigarette smokers in the study, no such association was seen for regular cannabis users.
Even very heavy, long-term marijuana users who had smoked more than 22,000 joints over a lifetime seemed to have no greater risk than infrequent marijuana users or nonusers.
Damn. That is a lot of joints!
I swear I read something like this years ago.
Fox News eh?
Huh. Didn't expect this from them.
Research can show almost anything, depending on what you want it to show.
Smoking anything isn't good for you, end of story.
Yea, you should not be breathing any kindsa smoke into your lungs.

I only have one thing against Generation Y smokin' pot. Most of them turn into cynical losers who want to rebel but are to lazy to repel. At least the Hippie generation had the energy to go and protest.
I think it's because the use of indica became more widespread. Sativa ftw.Quote:

Where is your source for this information? If it's real life experience, then mine completely counters yours, as I know plenty of 30+ (and completely functioning) adults who smoke marijuana on a regular basis, which sort of goes against the idea that it's a "little kid drug."Quote:

Which is fine - not liking smokers, that is, but I don't know of any solid research that backs up your claim that kids who smoke pot believe they are being more mature by doing so.
Some people smoke pot without turning into lowlifes who can't spell or get a job. I know a commercial loan officer at a bank who smokes on weekends - he's in his fifties. I know a successful travel agent in her late 40s who smokes pot, lives in a very nice house, and has quite a few female friends around the same age/income who do the same. I know this is simply anecdotal evidence, and yes - I also know some scummy people who smoke pot all day and never accomplish a damn thing. But the fact that both kinds of smokers exist would seem to indicate, at least to me, that pot isn't the cause for success or failure. Abuse of a drug that isn't physically addictive seems to come down to personal responsibility. Some people naturally have that, and some don't. It's not really fair to assume that no successful adults smoke pot for recreation and relaxation.
i :heart: sole.
Potheads come from all walks of life, just like those faggot straightedge kids
Responsible people blow coke or IV heroin. Weed is definitely a kiddy drug.
I agree with Sole.
I don't do pot personally, but it's stupid that it's illegal. People ruin their lives with alcohol more often than they ruin their lives with pot, though that's probably because of its availability.
I do the 'ron, which is a perfect example why it's a kiddy drug as well.Quote:

sole that was very eloquent and heartfelt but unfortunately you have overlooked a major overriding issue: potheads are faggots

I could keep going if you wish.
Yeah, because government surveys are completely reliable means of establishing who uses marijuana. :rolleyes: You do realize that people with good jobs are less likely to answer those tests honestly, right?
Either way, I get that you don't like pot or people who smoke pot. That's completely your right. I hope that it brings you great amounts of pleasure and personal satisfaction.
What I really need is a kitten to bring me great amounts of pleasure and personal satisfaction. There has been a void in my life since my other kitty cat ran away. That's probably why I feel the need to bash potheads.
I understand that a lot of government propaganda about pot is bogus, but the part about most people out growing pot is not.
What happened to your pet spider?Quote:

That's true, but I was in the special smart program throughout school and made all my friends there. I'm used to being around people with IQs of 140 and up.Quote:

But eh.
And Palin is an moron, no matter what her IQ is.
On the other hand, the Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman's IQ was only 126. He was a genius, no matter the cutoff is for a genius as determined by some stupid doo-doo head.
Beyond a certain IQ value, increasing the value by 1 point means less and less. In other words, IQ isn't directly proportional to "intelligence."
So Feynman wouldn't have been able to have gotten into Mensa. But he was still a greater genius than almost every single member of Mensa.
Don't put too much stock into IQ scores.
...or paragraphs.
We're in the same boat buddy. Sometimes I can be extremely smart out of the blue, but 95% of the time I'm half wetawded.Quote:
