Study finds no link between Pot smoking & Lung Cancer

Why do people need the crutch of drinking?

Ever think that some people don't use it as a crutch, they do it because they enjoy it? Why should it be different for people to hang out with friends and get stoned, instead of hanging out and knocking back a few beers? Both are intoxicating, in their own way, so what if one is ingested and one is inhaled?

I call bullshit on Mindia's article unless it was published after the one Arlos posted. You can't post some old medical article and still claim it holds true today... especially if another study was just released proving the opposite.

Aren't you even in the health field, Mindia? Both of my parents are and I know quite a bit about this shit... if you don't believe a UCLA med report then you might as well just :google:

the rest of your health information so you can find all of the reports that sound best to you and not the ones that actually matter.

That's cool, Drem. You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect it.

Obviously it's still bad in a lot of other ways from the 400+ other chemicals in the drug that you smoke with the THC but if it's now proven to not increase lung cancer risk only then I don't see why this isn't a point of celebration, hah

Thats just it... They alluded the report is very very green and not very scientific.

It's just a poll of 600 people with one form of cancer. 600 people with another, and then about 1000 more without cancer. None over 60. None verifiable with what they have or haven't done.

If you believe this to be fair and representitive, then you don't really care about actual facts, just propaganda about pot.

there's no way you could afford 20 joints a day(let alone half day) working at a pizza place, unless you were either selling the shit, working 100+ hours a week, or sucking your drug dealers dick like a circus seal.

and if you did manage it, then you deserve cancer :rofl:
