I kinda doubt this but hell I ain't taken no chances.......smokin


You may want to consider volunteering your services to a Neurology research team. I'm sure they'd be chuffed to have a prime example of specimen with dead brain cells due to the use of marijuana. Win/win situation...you get to choof away all you like, and neurologists get to study you :smile:

That is actually untrue.....in research studies cannibis/marijuana does kill brain cells but not live active one. It kills already dying brain cells that actually cause Alzheimer's disease (AD) a form of dementia. It really doesn't hurt active brain cells, but can affect the long term and short term memory synapses area of the brain and the chemical make-up of the brain such as, seratonin and dopamine. It does help cancer patients live longer by increasing appetite while undergoing chemotherapy. Cannibis/marijuana has been grown to affect different area of the brain in order to treat different psychological symptoms such as depression, bi-polar, and anxiety.


Of which i'm sure they had case studies to make such discoveries....see??...science needs people like Newark! :smile:

Don't Bogart That Joint!

Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me

Roll another one
Just like the other one
You've been hangin on to it
And I sure would like a hit

Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me

Rolllllllllllllllll another one
Just like the other one
That one's just about burned to the end
So come on and be a real friend

Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me
Don't bogart that joint, my friend
Pass it over to me



If you smoke it,don't feel that Guilty about it that you have to make up excuses like this!laugh

You smoke enough,you might contract Lungcancer,since Weed has several times the Tar Tobacco has!

Thats what vaporizers are for...........
laugh bigsmile
Actually,when I stopped the Booze,I stopped the Other Stuff as well!
But if someone wants to smoke it,go ahead,has nothing to do with me!bigsmile

"Weed" has been proven to reduce the risk of cancer for those who smoke tobacco and has no higher risk of causing cancer than not smoking anything.

"Weed" has been known to kill cancer since at least 1974 and has also been known to reduce the risk of lung cancer for smokers since the 80's.

That is true I am here to tell ya. It also make bbq potato chips taste 2.5 times better amongst 72% of the people. If you add french onion dip it increases 3 fold. I've been doing a little research......smokin

I smoke.

I have 2% body fat.

I eat like a fat man at a buffet.

If smoking helps...if it don't...I will still do it when I ain't on the clock.

I am just gonna go ahead and blindly assume that the people who don't smoke are negative on the subject. While I shall blindly assume that the people who are positive about this thread actually smoke.

Who cares ?.....Let's spark it and get tore up from the floor up.


I guess its all subjective.

I dont smoke weed but of those I have known who do, they do it 'socially' (just like those who drink socially) and I see no indication that they are any less intelligent or capable or unhealthy than those who dont

Actually, these are results based on studies completed at the University of California and Berkley.

You must you keep responding to them.

I just enjoy pointing out your inconsistencies, although I have to say it wears you out! Too many to keep up.


As to the actual claim that cannabis helps prevent cancer, the research is very new, and as 80% of preliminary research turns out to be flawed, or incorrect, it is too early to say with certainty that cannabis have a preventative effect or not. I do believe it should garner additional research, the set of chemicals have a wide application as neurotransmitters and could benefit other medical sectors as well.

If a person is going to consume cannabis with the idea it offers some protection against cancer, they should at least vaporize it, or make food with it. Inhaling all of that tar, and particulate matter is going to increase your risks of lung cancer and likely far outweigh any protective benefit that may actually exist.

From the first link:
There is mixed evidence on the effects of cannabinoids on cancer: in vitro and in vivo studies and clinical data showed both antineoplastic and protumoral activity, depending on type of agonist, target tissues, route of administration, doses and duration of the treatment.
As is the case with most things, its a mixed bag, scientists want to isolate different cannabinoid-related drugs to selectively activate these receptors they believe may inhibit tumor progression. Right now too many different reactions are occurring with a wide range of different cellular activation.

ie, dont bet the farm smoking pot is going to have any benefit what so ever for tumor progression, becuase chances are it wont.

Several studies produced exciting new leads in the search for anticancer treatments using cannabinoid-related drugs. Plant-derived (THC), synthetic (HU210, WIN-55,212-2), and endogenous (2-AG, AEA) cannabinoids modulate tumour growth, apoptosis, migration and neoangiogenesis in various types of cancer (Bifulco & Di Marzo, 2002; Guzman et al., 2002). However, studies performed to investigate marijuana-smoking effects on carcinogenesis and tumour growth produced contradictory results (Table 2): THC failed to induce mutagenicity in the Ames test (Hall & MacPhee, 2002) and in skin test in mice (Chan et al., 1996), whereas cannabis smoke was mutagenic in vitro (MacPhee, 1999; Marselos & Karamanakos, 1999). The Ames test is a sensitive biological method for measuring the potentially carcinogenic effect of chemical substances on microrganisms, cells and tissue cultures. This test by itself does not demonstrate cancer risk; however, mutagenic potency evaluated by Ames test does correlate with the carcinogenic potency for chemicals in rodents. These results show that THC have no carcinogenic properties, at least as purified compound. Moreover, evidence showed that smoking of cannabis preparations caused cancer of the respiratory and oral tracts or, at least, potentiated tobacco smoke-induced damages.

Show just one inconsistency. If you can't, then I'll have to assume you're lying to save face...

Ok, this is easy. I didn't even have to leave the page to find one.
