My Uncle has emphysema, and he will die from it if something doesn’t get him first. He never smoked a single cigarette. Just pot, every day, since the early 70’s.
I smoked dope for more than ten years myself. Giving it up was the best thing I ever did. The stuff is spiritual poison and it’s horrible for your lungs. Hard to believe anyone would make the case that inhaling any kind of smoke into their lungs isn’t damaging.
“Hard to believe anyone would make the case that inhaling any kind of smoke into their lungs isn’t damaging”
No one need make that case, but they can make the case that it is less damaging than legal substances. Oh, and that how damaging it is to my lungs is none of the government’s business.
I have the advantage of having connections to perform PFT testing on myself, and I have, both just after I quit smoking in the late 90’s, and recently, after more or less regular smoking for 5 years, and my lung capacity increased from 5.5l to 6.2l, and no signs of restrictive disease are present. So, I’ll keep my fingers crossed XXxXX
