Startling Revelation About Marijuana?
Says it constricts fine lung passages, but there has been plenty of research on the benefits to glaucoma patients; where m.j.opens blood vessels in the eyeballs to relieve pressure. These guys are full of bullchips.
When I heard this story reported on the radio, the next thing they did was to have a guy on the phone from the American Lung Assoc. He said there was no evidence that -they- knew of to show pot is worse than tobacco.
Also, as anyone who smokes it knows, you don’t smoke 3 packs of pot every day, day in and day out, like you do with tobacco.
A few years ago there was a report that came out and echoed around the major media for quite some time about how pot causes ‘gynecomastia’ in men, causes men to grow big boobs like a woman. I heard it over and over. YEARS LATER I read that this whole story was based on one single case, a guy in the UK who already had a serious hormone imbalance. It just goes to show you that you take -anything- you hear with a grain of salt.
I used to have all kinds of revelations about–ahh–ahh-weed, but I can’t think of ‘em right now. Maybe later……
Pot has been researched for over 40 years now. If it hasn’t been found out by now, it ain’t true.
I have personally not heard of this. I know that when you burn things that burn you produce certain gases which are carcinogens and harmful to say the least. Burn paper, burn (real) tobacco, burn marijuana, burn a house–they all contain the same crap. Cigarettes are a different story since they add all kinds of nasties in the manufacture process. These incidental things are likely to cause a reaction in the lungs where they close up to avoid absorbing these poisons. Try eating your pot, make some brownies or some spaghetti. You will get the same effect, a little delayed, without the harm of smoke inhalation. Marijuana has been studied longer than 40 years.
Is this a question?
This is the problem with marijuana - it makes people unable to think well enough to verbalize what is on their mind. You obviously have something to say, this question just didn’t come out as a question.
Get some Oreos, watch some TV, and go to bed.
