I'm pretty sure any smoke substance entering your lung is "bad" and can cause lung cancer, but whatever you geniuses say.

And of course you're not going to feel any different after only a few years of smoking pot. My father didn't feel any difference in his lungs after smoking cigs for 20 years. You'd have to be exercising to feel the strain of smoker lungs and you'd probably have to smoke for a pretty long while before it actually has a heavy toll on you.

Nope not lung cancer, and I'm not talking about a few years of some of the people I know, I'm talking about a 70+ lady who has been smoking since she was a teen.

Also see these about the lung cancer things :

Ugh, please don't compare that god-awful liver killing excuse for a drink that is beer with the miracle that is marijuana.

Speaking from a Diagnostition in training... (I read lots of medical books)

Pot is a drug that if smoked, gives you the "weee" feeling, or what most people call it, "becoming high"

It stimulates the part of your brain that produces your emotions, it is not strong though, it only stimulates it enough to make you feel high. It is kind of like cocain, but weaker.

Small Quantities are used for medical purposes. It is used as an anti depressant most of the time in that field. Though most of it is used for fun. Pot can also be used to treat lung cancer. Chemicals in pot can kill cancerous cells as long as your not over doing it...or else it would make the cancer worse.

But remember one thing, pot is ILLEGAL in most states as long as you don't have a persciption from a doctor. Here in Alaska, you can have a small amount of pot in your house...which is utterly stupid, but o well.

So yeah, drugs are bad for you, mkay?

So reading your post you say drugs are bad right? But from your post the only thing bad I see is that they're illegal. Except for the it making cancer worse, thats just plain wrong. It's used medically to treat cancer, you know that right?

When I mean it is Illegal, I mean using "Large" amounts of it for fun. Depending on the medical condition will determine the quantity the doctor recommends.

Dude, having to much of anything will kill you. Taking 20 advils could mess you up...though I know people who take 15 to feel the effect of advil. It all depends.

I agree that having too much of anything will harm you, but do you know how much it takes to od on marijuana? A shitload, more than anyone can ever eat or smoke. No one has ever, I repeat, EVER died from marijuana and that alone.

I never said that Pot kills you, but the other little nasty things that pot brings into your organs can infect you...and in theory, can kill you. Like if you had lung cancer...small doses of pot can kill off some of those nasty cancer cells, but to much pot would make the remaining cancerous cells immune to it's effects...and guess what? They will have sex with themselves to create more pot immune cancerous cells!

Pot won't kill you, but what it does to you can kill your skin cells, some of your brain functions, and eventually you will have a nice big tumor on your lungs. There have been cases of this happening in Texas and Maine.

TO OVERDOSE ON POT, YOU NEED TO SMOKE 52,000 POUNDS OF IT IN 12 MINUTES.
