Marijuana is 'as bad as smoking tobacco cigarettes,' an expert said

pass the Gummies.
I always thought marijuana smoke was far harsher (unfiltered, too) than cigarette smoke.
And we all know the dangers of cigarette smoke, as beaten into our heads over the past 60 years.
As one who has dabbled in both, smoking cigarettes will kill you. Smoking weed makes you hungry. Smoking anything is bad for you, but cigarettes are by far the worst.
Let's not forget the close ties the AHA has with the fedgov. I'm not saying that smoking anything is good for your lungs, but cannabis can be smoked effectively without all the extra chemicals that are added to cigarette tobacco.
Daily inhaling of anything smoking probably produces similar outcomes.
Funny how cigarettes are the worst thing possible but smoking dope isn’t nearly as denounced.
Do you know anyone who smoked 40 joints a day?
How about 2 packs of Marlboro?
I don’t smoke anything, but total load matters significantly.
A glass of wine a day won’t hurt you. Three bottles a day will.
Willie quit.
Sure.
I wasn’t aware that marijuana contained nicotine or any chemical central to hinging the human cell’s Krebs energy cycle.
I only trust the science and government when it supports my narrative.
Willie or won’t he. I won’t, my back pain is significantly reduced thru my micro dosing. I like that I can control the ratio of CBD to THC. When I feel more stiffness associated with my pain, I up the CBD to help control my inflammation. When the pain is sharper and a bit more debilitating, I up the THC, and still function normally through the day, albeit a tad slower on the uptake. But at least I can tend my mini farm (breed rabbits) and produce side income. And still help Mrs cport with her advisory business. Could not do any of that on Percocet.
I have no problem with it, like many here do.
Especially for legitimate use. Most just want to not be unaware of their unhappy selves. Some can just have fun and be happy otherwise.
The same applies to drinking as well, and it’s far more destructive.
Sorry, I was just capitalizing on a bad pun from your “Willie quit”. I knew how you felt on the matter, I have mucho respect for your posts over the years.
I gave up all forms of chemical entertainment and replaced them with investing (investments) which is a lot easier to do when you’re not spending monies on stupid recreational pursuits. Not that I care what others do with their resources.
I can see how the highs and lows of that can up the endorphins
I’m kind of ambivalent on the matter. If someone wants to smoke marijuana in the privacy of their home, it’s legal in many states, or have 8 shots of vodka at night, let ‘em. The only thing I would ask is please stay home and don’t get behind the steering wheel.
