Have any only-marijuana smokers here ever gotten lung cancer? |
Has anyone here ever gotten lung cancer from smoking ONLY marijuana? If youve been exposed to asbestos and radon gas heavily please dont respond. Pleas be truthful no point in lying. How about emphysema ? http://www.americanmarijuana.org/... scroll down to were it says How Cannabis Fights Cancer and click on download pdf then click on read story also read this http://americanmarijuana.org/pot.shrinks... Here's part of an article published recently regarding marijuana and lung cancer. Interestingly, Dr. Tashkin set out to prove, once and for all, that marijuana causes lung cancer. The study not only did not prove his theory, it rather resoundingly disproved it, and his conclusion was that marijuana may act to prevent lung cancer. Study Finds No Link Between Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer SAN DIEGO鈥擯eople who smoke marijuana鈥攅ven heavy, long-term marijuana users鈥攄o not appear to be at increased risk of developing lung cancer, according to a study to be presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference on May 23rd. Marijuana smoking also did not appear to increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth, throat, or esophagus, the study found. The findings were a surprise to the researchers. 鈥淲e expected that we would find that a history of heavy marijuana use鈥攎ore than 500-1,000 uses鈥攚ould increase the risk of cancer from several years to decades after exposure to marijuana,鈥?said the senior researcher, Donald Tashkin, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles. *********** Note to Notyour B: Cannabis contains MANY different cannabinols, and THC over time breaks down into a cannabinol. This is what is stored in the liver, and it cannot, at any time, get you high without smoking or otherwise ingesting additional cannabis. There is no such thing as a marijuana "flashback." As for your 30% THC content; that, too, is merely propaganda that DARE folks would love for you to believe. Yes, THC levels have increased through selective breeding for that trait, but the average is still well under 20%, as compared to 30 years ago when average was about 3-4% for what was considered "good" weed. Some figures from a study of THC content of cannabis siezed by law enforcement from 1974 through 1994 show that THC levels averaged less than 1% in 1974 and just over 4% in 1994. What the increased THC levels actually mean is that today a person needs to smoke far less to achieve the same effect. Pot smokers tend to smoke to effect, and better quality weed just means you smoke less than in years past. Source(s): http://www.thoracic.org/sections/publica... http://nepenthes.lycaeum.org/drugs/thc/p... cannabis contains more carcinogenic chemicals than tobacco. your claims can be made so sound good, but due to the fact that the very very high majority of people who smoke cannabis use tobacco with it, it's easy to falsify statistics about these people. i've smoked all kinda **** for years It's possible.. marijuana doesn't cause cancer, but it doesn't prevent it either Bob Marley died of like three kindsa cancer none of which were lung....I have many friends young and old who only smoke the green none of them have an lung issues. SO TOKE IT UP! no they dont live long enough. |
