btw, u dont have to make 3 forums for ur 3 smart questions, cigs have bout 200 diff chemicals that can cause cancer thats "laced" in it, weed smoke is pure natural so u dont have to worry, i smoke everysecond of the day and im perfectly fine, weed is natural so remember u dont have to worry bout cancer, smoke as much as u can

it would be nice if a cigarette would hold only 200, a Marlboro bland holds more than 600 chemical additives to it...:spew:

...and who takes 20-40 hits from the bong a day???:-D ain't me at leased:mrgreen:

I placed a comma after it to explain myself.

You cannot beat death,
sure u can, ever seen final destination uno, dos, y tres?

lmao, I'm jk but I'm sure in the future once cloning is legalized and the protestors are on their death beds bitching to someone to save their life by cloning them a new heart or whatever that we'll escape death, but then the world will be overpopulated and we'll have to find a new planet or die. Don't pay me any attention, I'm just bored and been watchin too much of the sci fi channel. this was just to lighten peoples moods :)

To read my 2 cents on the matter, check out the following link: Cannabis & Cancer: On the carcinogenicity of marijuana smoke.

Here's an excerpt (I didn't want to take up too much space):

"To date, no animal study has demonstrated the carcinogenicity of marijuana smoke. Future studies would, ideally, be conducted with animal models that reflect the stages of both initiation and progression observed in human cancer, but no such model currently exists (Khanna et al. 2005). In vivo studies on the neoplastic properties of cannabinoids have typically been conducted with BALB/cJ, B6C3F1, and C57BL/6J murine [mouse] strains, which are not susceptible to chemically-induced SCCL [Squamous-Cell Carcinoma of the Lungs]. Even the most susceptible strains do not develop SCCL as the result of exposure to tobacco smoke (Wang et al. 2004), the definitive benchmark for human carcinogens....

In evaluating the carcinogenicity of any type of smoke, it might help to remember that it was epidemiology, rather than animal research, that first incriminated tobacco smoke as a carcinogen (Proctor 2004). While there have been lurid case-reports of tobacco-related cancers among young and middle-aged marijuana smokers (Sridhar et al. 1994), a large cohort study found no evidence of precocious tobacco-related cancers among middle-aged marijuana smokers (Sidney et al. 1997).

As tobacco-related cancers develop increasingly with age and exposure, the cohort study did not follow its participants for long enough to ascertain the relationship between marijuana smoking and tobacco-related cancers. Small hospital-based case-control studies have inconsistently found an association (Chacko et al. 2006, Hsairi et al. 1993, Llewellyn et al. 2004a, Llewellyn et al. 2004b, Sasco et al. 2002, Voirin et al. 2006, Zhang et al. 1999), whereas population-based case-control studies -- especially those with a large number of cases and/or randomly selected controls -- tend to suggest, if anything, an inverse association (Ford et al. 2001, Hashibe et al. 2006, Rosenblatt et al. 2004, Zhu et al. 2002).

The question as to whether heavy prolonged marijuana smoking causes tobacco-related cancer has recently been addressed by a large case-control study that included significant numbers of heavy long-term marijuana smokers (Hashibe et al. 2006). Evidence from this study -- the largest case-control study to date -- suggests that even heavy prolonged marijuana smoking does not appreciably increase the risk of tobacco-related cancers. One way or the other, if marijuana smoking affects the risk of cancer, it may do so to an extent revealed only by large-scale epidemiologic consortia, such as those under the auspices of the International Association for Research on Cancer (q.v., The International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology Consortium)."

Bollocks. I know weed doesn't cause cancer, just as cigarettes are nowhere near as responsible as cars for lung cancer. Plastic causes cancer, so does the sun, concrete too, trauma to the body...

Weed causes cancer... fucking bollocks. All life is a cancer, everything has it's predators.
Coulnt agree more.


I like your perspective shaman
The real question is. Does cancer cause marijuana smoker's

weed is in the bible, god said we are allowed use it as we please....

"I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
In God we trust." genesis 1:29

Yes but people shouldn't ask such a retarded question, this is by far the most stupid question I've heard in a long time... You've got to be American, or 10 years old. Marijuana has been made into some type of bad drug through years and years of propaganda. Marijuana is a sacred plant, don't you think its here for a reason?

Cannabis will save us all.
