London - Smoking one cannabis joint is as harmful to a person’s lungs as having up to five cigarettes, according to research published on Tuesday.
Those who smoked cannabis damaged both the lungs’ small fine airways, used for transporting oxygen, and the large airways, which blocked air flow, the researchers said.
It meant cannabis smokers complained of wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness, the study by experts at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand found.
I think this has more to do with people who smoke it beyond a 'recreational' capacity. Still, even 1 or 2 = as many as 10 freakin cigarettes yikes.

We're all going to die sooner or later, I'd rather enjoy my time a bit zooted
-
Hey I can't criticize, I drink so much alcohol haha.
-
This has been known for some time; I remember my bio teacher once telling me about experimenting with this in class during the 70s lol.
If people want to harm their bodies that's perfectly fine with me - just don't tell me it's harmless. I'm not that stupid.

Then you're not so stupid to fall prey to all the hysteria surrounding recreational marijuana usage, right?
-
PD: well again, id like to stress that this most likely does not matter to recreational users who do it like once or twice a month.
-
I'm pretty healthy for someone who smokes once or twice a day, all things considered.
-
there's exceptions to every rule, no doubt. I drink more than most of my friends an dont suffer mind bending hang overs for some reason.
-
What do you define as "recreational" usage? According to the study one joint is equal to around 5 cigarettes, so while I don't fall prey to any hysteria how does one deny the harmful effects of this stuff? 5 cigs a month isn't going to kill anyone, but that builds up.
Same with drinking. There's nothing wrong with drinking in moderation. But when you start abusing it, drinking multiple beers each day - you're going to damage your liver. Plain and simple. There's nothing "square" about saying that.
-
Well you could be a teetotaler and still get hit by a bus, PD.
-
Id GUESS recreational is a few times a week. I dont smoke so im not sure what they consider recreational. I will say my drinking certainly isnt recreaional. I love booze. I drink scotch, brandy, bourbon, and vodka until I fall asleep some nights. Its awesome. I make up for it by not drinking soda muhaha.
I used to be like you PD, all naive about how to deal with being an adult, but now I know that NOTHING compares to the dimension booze can send you to.

Would it be fair to say you drink enough to suffer from liver damage problems in the future? If so, does the momentary pleasure justify the long term consequence?
Like I said I'm not saying drinking alcohol is bad PERIOD. But is there anyone who'd argue that over doing it has poor consequences for the body's health?
Would you guys agree that smoking cigarettes is a "bad" thing for the body?
-
IT DEPENDS ON THE BRAND, PD
STOP BEING ARGUMENTATIVE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING ARGUMENTATIVE
-
Breathing the air every morning is bad for you.
-
but cannabis use stopped the lungs working properly.
“The danger cannabis poses to respiratory health is consistently being overlooked,”
So basically they're saying smoking weed makes you wheeze? Small price to pay. I'd rather be doing that then dying of lung cancer and emphysema.
-

I'm not being argumentative, I'm just discussing this issue. But it's not going anywhere so I'll let it be

You would have to smoke 4 joints a day to equal a single pack of cigarettes, which nobody does.

Yeah =\ sometimes.
-
Like Cheech & Chong sized spliffs man.
-
Who smokes a joint alone, though? Unlike cigarettes, a joint is often shared between 2-4 people.
I don't think it's harmless - I have a really hard time getting over respiratory infections and my hair smells like pot sometimes :(. Still, I could outrun any of my cigarette smoking friends any day of the week, and many of them haven't been smoking as long as I have. No one's adding poison to the marijuana cigarettes.
-
While I personally would rather smoke a bong than a joint, my roommates are quite content with rolling a jay or a blunt and smoking it by themselves. Professional stoners!
I won't argue that smoking ganja is harmless, but I'm not going to try to quantify "oh smoking this much pot = smoking this many cigarettes" because that's a hysterical argument to be used when the DARE commercials are losing their effectiveness.
-
I wish they'd focus their attention on whether cannibis causes it's long-time users to be paranoid when sober or if paranoid people are more apt to smoke cannibis to self-medicate.
Because the causal link is definitely there in my experiences.
-
I wish they would do some real studies. I thought everyone already knew this and accepted it? I mean, the point is, a recreational marijuana user doesn't damage their lungs nearly as much as an average cigarette smoker because quite simply, they don't smoke as much.
You could smoke a bowl a day and if that equals 5 cigarettes, you're still smoking way less than the average cigarette smoker.
-
I dont smoke I vaproize.
Smoking is like inhaling a forest fire...
vaporizing is like inhaling a small little bit of steam....
its like fried chicken vs baked chicken.
Sadly some people dont appreciate vaproizing because it doesnt have that horrible lung burn like smoking does. because that feeling isnt there, they feel they arent getting as high - when they really are.
-
hair smells like pot sometimes :(.
mmmm iv seen yer pic - id like to run my face thru that.

LOL - no - youv never liked to touch/play with a girls good smelling hair?
I prefer that other bit trimmed up anyway for the record - there shouldnt be enough hair there to hold a smoke smell.

Maybe he is one of those - "im too professional to partake" mates...
I love those guys - they try to look down on me because I partake - and they try so hard to fly the straight and narrow - you know because only losers "partake"
Then they jump back in their Toyota Corolla and ride off to their 40 hr a week 50-60K /year shyt job.....
People who try to hard and look down on people who partake in the THC blo - and they usually make 8x less $$ even tho they insist their way is the right way.
"I would love to smoke, but they do random drug screening at my job"
Tip 1: if your job is even piss testing you, you are someones buttfukk monkey boy ;)

I am someones buttfukk monkey boy, evidently. And not the person whose monkey boy I want to be, either :'(

Oh this isnt directed at you - I have no idea.
You could be one of those mates tho - I have no idea.
Your post left us hanging, so I redirected.
Did I describe you by coincidence?
-
I dont mess with weed, booze is my anti drug. Im not gonna hassle people for doing it tho.
-
Do you like wine?
-
As long as that shit is fortified, my nicca

back OT REAL TALK:
Yeah smoking anything will destroy you.
It reminds me of the MadTV skit where the guys job is to suck exhaust out of a pipe in a wall...his stay at home wife needs him to suck more exhaust so he mcan make more $$ and buy her more porn....

i love chris rock the comedian, but he should never do movies again.

I knew a stoner who smoked a pack or more a day and smoked several joints a day as well. Fun guy, too bad he was kicked out of school. Now he makes 6 figures in Alberta and I'm stoned sober and unemployed.

malek says season 3 of the office is awesome :-\

Malek always have depressing stories to tell, I'm gonna kill myself :(
Some girl: Aww you should see my cat, it's so cute
Malek: I had a cat once. It escaped the house and got ripped apart by a pit bull
Some girl: ...
Dude: My buddy is gonna have a party at his dad's house, wanna come?
Malek: My buddy used to have a big house. But there was a gas leak and he died in his sleep
Dude: What the hell...
Lady: I just love Bon Jovi. He's my favorite singer
Malek: My favorite singer got shot in the face
Lady: Excuse me?
:-\
-
:lol
-
I think we need to throw malek an appreciation thread. I'll bring the cake.
-
:lol :lol PD
My dog was hit by a car and was also bitten by a dog that was pit-bull mix. :-\ However he's still kickin'
Though I do indeed interview poorly Mike, very few companies have responded to my resumes (less than 2%). I do have an interview with a company next week. I don't want to jinx it so I won't name them. I'll just give you the initials; IBM.
Oh, wait!
I think we need to throw malek an appreciation thread. I'll bring the cake.
Please don't.
-
what position in IBM?
also...would you tape and upload your next interview? so we can ridicule you? AND maybe give advice? :-*
-
what position in IBM?
A crappy sales rep job.

My uncle was westren sales rep from Canada for a very long time; he is very rich, but he went to business collage. :(
-
A collaga, eh?
The pay isn't that bad (35k+) and it is better than my current salary (0-)
-
thats not bad, hope you get it.

how are you surviving?

Mooching and selling my body.

sell your body to me. you look a lot like cajole right? i need to get my technique down before i get to him
-

I don't sell my body to whores. Sorry.
Cajole doesn't really look like me anyhow. If you want a Cajole lookalike call al-Qaida.
-
I heard that for medicinal marijuana, they recommend you make it into a tea which is supposedly the most efficient way of ingesting it.
-
The health hazards associated with any sort of smoking are a small price to pay for getting to look really fucking cool.

I would like to play Camel darts with the face of that television show-ruining whore in your avatar.

Mupepe, for free you can do anything you want. Money would just spoil it.
White Man, why must you take out your hatred of ham and cheese pitas on Jenna?
-
I don't take my hate of women out on her. There are other reasons to dislike her, specifically how that painted Jezebel helped ruin a perfectly fine comedy.
-
I know TVC ain't talkin' aboot Jenna Fischer, is he?
-
corny, that avatar is amazing.

Aboot, eh?
Apparently Washington State gets a different version of the show. And they also seem to get different Beatle's albums.
-
As a man, a walking abortion, I feel it fit to call out these terrible females that not only see that we are lesser than them, but find amusement in further emasculating our already underdeveloped selves.
-
Are we talking about Jenna Fischer or what? Otherwise, TVC's latest tirade doesn't interest me.
-
There's plenty of other poison in cigarettes that isn't in a joint. What substances are they using for comparison?
-
testicular cancer
