IN THE END YOUR LIFE IS YOUR LIFE THE CHOICE IS YOURS.. DONT LISTERN TO THE MAN IN A SUITE HE'S A DICK HEADseydaman said:
Peace N Luv and Happy smoking
As a rule of thumb I wouldn't trust gaming forums for medical information about illicit drugs that are part of a contentious debate. Now that you have though, here's my advice. Google it and click on as many medical institutes/ official medical organisations as it takes for you to be satisfied.
Stay away from the lobby groups (both pro-choice and prohibition). This also includes ignoring people with strong views on either side, because they will only say what they want to hear, nothing that will support the opposition. Objective sources is what you want.

Well that's odd, I swear I put something about alcohol in my last post... Oh, wait a second, I'll put it in bold for you.danskrobut said:
Forum Tip Number 1: Try reading the whole of a persons' post before making a pointless comment.
It's amazing how many of the pro-pot people talk just as much crap as the anti-pot people is it not?
Really? Kills you? You have proof of this? There is no recorded death's attributable strictly to pot. None. So why are you spreading lies?Aardvark Soup said:
Oh God please watch Reefer Madness. Once you realize it's crap that movie is funny as hell!Jarrid said:
There is no recorded death attributable strictly to smoking either. Mostly people of which is said they died of smoking actually had lung cancer. Does that mean smoking isn't capable of killing people?Captain Blackout said:
This is by FAR the worst piece of advice in this thread. BY FAR! LSD can and has killed. Other psychedelics can be horribly dangerous for some people. DO NOT LISTEN TO FRANK, HE COULD GET YOU KILLED!Frank_Sinatra_ said:
If you haven't started pot, don't. Wait until you're at least 27 and then try it with friends who are experienced. If you want to know how drugs will affect you, TRY POT FIRST! If you have a bad reaction to pot, DO NOT TRY ANYTHING STRONGER!!!
Also: Marijuana defies categorization. It is not a depressant. It is a hallucinogenic EXCEPT it works differently than all the rest of them.
Finally: DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE! Half of you get A's for writing on your own experiences and taking responsibility for your posts. The other half get F's for posting propaganda as fact.
Do your homework. Lung cancer, COPD, heart disease, etc. etc. etc. Smoking kills, period.Aardvark Soup said:
Marijuana doesn't.
So you basically you ignored my questions and posted complete malarky. For your benefit here are my questions again in a form you should have a better time dealing with:
Do you have strong evidence or proof that marijuana kills?
If you don't, why are you posting false and/or probably false information?
Well, there is this Canadian study [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7150274.stm] for example that cannabis contains more harmfull toxins than tobacco. Furthermore it's completely logical that inhaling the smoke from a burned organic compound wouldn't be very healthy. There are also studies that link marijana use leads to an increased chance of getting schizophrenia, but opinions still differ on that subject.Captain Blackout said:
And yes, I completely acknowledge that smoking tobacco is more addictive than smoking cannabis and smokers usually smoke more cigarettes a day, which can mean they inhale more toxins. Cannabis also has proven very helpfull against certain medical conditions. I'm also a supporter of the full legislation of weed (and not the half-assed 'gedoogbeleid' we have here in the Netherlands) because that would allow for more regulation and less illegal trade.
However, you shouldn't deny the existence of the harmful effects of marijuana. You do inhale certain amounts of for example ammonia, tar and carbon monooxide and you certainly can get lung cancer. You may also not (think you) experience any of the negative effects, like addiction, but many other people do. Everyone is affected differently by it.
Do whatever you want, but whatever the effects of marijunana are on you, I would still highly recommend against it. Being stoned is just as useless as being drunk in my opinion.
Yes, cannabis smoke contains more toxins. Using this as evidence that it kills faster than smoking is crap. You don't have to smoke it to use it. Furthermore marijuana does not lead to lung cancer, even in heavy users. This from a report by Tashkin (a well known MD with anti-pot sentiments.) Marijuana has even been shown to inhibit the growth and invasiveness of cancer cells. The only negative cancer link I could find was that marijuana use increases the risk of testicular cancer. Ok so this last one sucks however, testicular cancer has a higher survival rate than most others. How does all of this add up to "kills you faster than smoking?"Aardvark Soup said:
As to addiction you are very non-specific. Pot is not physically addicting on its own. Of all the recreational drugs one could use it is by far one of the easiest to get away from. It certainly is habit forming. So is everything else, or at least has the potential to be. Is it really a fair assessment to say pot "can be addicting" without any qualifiers?
Pot does not cause schizophrenia. It can trigger episodes and certainly accelerates the progress of mental disorders in some people. Others have reported extreme relief from the effects of mental illness including schizophrenia.
All substances have harmful affects in the proper dosages. Water can kill you if you drink too much and will kill you faster if administered through inhalation. Does this mean water is more harmful than pot? Of course I won't make that argument. Like the rest of my posts on the subject I go for well-written, well-researched, and well-thought out. You're first post had none of these qualities. If you want the harmful effects of pot documented you're free to post. However when you make statements like, "being stoned is just as useless as being drunk in my opinion," I will curb-stomp your posts for the unfounded fact-less opinions they are, which is really all your first post was.
Since you still haven't answered it I'll put my main question to you in a more palatable form:
Why are you posting inaccurate and incorrect information? What were you looking to gain with the statement "Pot kills faster than smoking?"
