I've never smoked pot before and I never will, but besides the obvious differences, how is it okay for your health but smoking cigarettes is not? I mean you inhale both as far as I know, so how would one cause cancer and have other terrible effects and the other not?

The chemicals in cigarettes cause cancer and other effects such as birth defects, name me one incident where someone got cancer from Cannabis, and it is used in medicine so I would say it is definitely healthier. watch The Union where professors from Harvard talk about its good effects. There is research out there that shows Cannabis eats away cancerous cells in your lungs so maybe it cures cancer?

Marijuana doesn't have any health benefits. It just eases pain for those with terminal illnesses.

I do find it funny when people try to say weed is healthy...just because its not as bad for your body as tobacco cigarettes doesn't mean its healthy...oh well

[drumnColby757]

you are still breathing heated plant matter into your lungs yes. But because it has good benefits as pain release and a sleep agent and an appetite starter I would say it is better. Cigarets kill you cannabis can help you... thats all im saying. if you arnt in pain and have no reason, is popping Vicodin healthy?

[thepostman]

I honestly could care less about this issue one way or the other, but smoking anything into your lungs is not good for you...

There are other ways people do the stuff other than smoking it, which seems like a better way to go about it then smoking something, just sayin

[jbock13]

I believe in legalization, but let's please just not make stuff about it being good for your health.

[thepostman]

if you are doing the whole mist thing then that would at least make more sense...smoking anything is not good for you regardless if it makes you feel good....

I use to smoke cigarettes all the time, why?? Because it helped calm my nerves, but I wouldn't go around saying "It calms my nerves, ITS GOOD FOR ME!!." That is just faulty logic....

[drumnColby757]

-___- you guys are missing my point....

[drumnColby757]

I believe in legalization, but let's please just not make stuff about it being good for your health.

... Nothing I said was made up..

all im saying is that it has the ability to help people....

My mother has been struggling with Breast Cancer for ten years (since I was ten) , she was diagnosed the year my father died of Lung cancer... all of this to say that I have seen what the drugs they are prescribed do to them. Fentanyl, Oxycodone, dilaudid, morphine they all leave people in such a terrible state.

[thepostman]

Again I have no stance on if the stuff should be legalized or not. If it does I really don't have a problem with it.

I am not missing your point, you are missing mine. Smoking anything into your body could not possibly be good for you, but there are plenty of other alternative ways out there to reap the benefits and not smoke it.

Just because you are doctor doesn't mean you are smart. Heck, look no further then our own Cider Jim.....

[thepostman]

again I am not saying there are not some good benefits, but if you smoke it it kind of cancels that all out.

[drumnColby757]

Im done.. if you want to think smoking cannabis and smoking a cigarette are the same keep thinking that...

[RubberMallet]

lolz

[BJWilliams]

lolz

seriously Mallet?

[jbock13]

The problem is, nobody is arguing that marijuana is the same thing as tobacco.

In fact, I'm not even sure what you're arguing about. We pretty much all agree.

[thepostman]

Im done.. if you want to think smoking cannabis and smoking a cigarette are the same keep thinking that...

have you not read my posts??? holy crap you either have some kind of martyr complex or have horrible reading comprehension or maybe you're just high. Actually that is probably it...

Again I know smoking marijuana is not nearly as bad as smoking tobacco but come on dude you are inhaling SMOKE into your lungs, that is NEVER good. That is why a lot of people have switched to doing the whole mist thing or whatever the heck they call it because you get all the benefits without inhaling smoke into your body.

but if it makes you feel better that the world is against you or maybe you are just paranoid because your high, either way get over it man and realize I am not disagreeing with you completely.

[drumnColby757]

ha no I do not want to be a martyre I guess my point got across I just didnt realize

andyway the mist thing your talking about is called Vaporizer
