so remember to excercise daily, eat right, and maybe take an aspirin once a week. :D

think about how much smoke is inhaled by the average marijuana smoker... then think about how much in inhaled by a cigarette smoker... the chances of getting cancer from marijuana is substantially less, just because the amount of smoke is so much less

I've read (not on the internet) about an idea circulating that marijuana smokers hold their hits longer and take them much deeper than cigarette smokers, carcinogens left aside.

bent fused-ring compounds like benzanthracene are what cause cancer from smoking tobacco

does marijuana have any bent fused-ring compounds?

Dunno, but I understood it was something to do with particulate size. Burning tobacco creates smaller carcinogenic particles which get deeper into the lungs and can't be dislodged, while marijuana particles are larger and less likely to become lodged. Who know's for sure...?

I've also heard the argument that deeper inhaling and longer holding of marijuana smoke negates the reduced damage from not smoking physically as much substance. Who knows....?

I heard on the radio that marijuana has 4 times the tar of cigerettes, does this mean i'm going to die? 8O

Actually my opinino on this, and it is not scientific fact, is that if you ever scraped a pipe with all of that gooey blackness. Your lungs times 100. :sick:

your body neutralizes the tar of marijuana smoke much faster than ciggarette smoke. pot smokers cough up black shit. ciggarette smokers just cough. i can smoke a joint and run a mile no problem... but throw a cig in the mix and im walking with a cramp.

that's so unscientific that it hurts. what is your conclusion, you're going to keep smoking weed, go for it man, here I'll light you up. :silly:

edited to say that I have never once coughed up black shit, but I know cigerette smokers who hack up in the morning.

agreed.

I reiterate to the bent fused rings theory; it's actually proven.

the "tar" in marijuana smoke contains other compounds that aren't in cigarettes

the chances of getting cancer from the volume of smoke inhalation is a moot point, when pertaining to marijuana smoke

cancer's not fun, but inserting a genetically engineered message into a cancer cell, and sending it back to its buddies is VERY fun.
