hmmmm well lets see.......
first off they say from all current and medical research...of which little has been done..
significantly more respiratory symptons....was this concluded from studies of just smokers of pot?,cig and pot smokers or general population???...could it be the air is much more polluted and the same can be said of the whole population??..
As far as medical use goes the benefits are usually far greater then the risk,s plus there are lots of <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/yum.gif" width=15 height=15> recipe,s to cook with so that smoking is not necessary.If you do smoke you can use a vaporizer which is far easier on the lungs....
Funny they compare to tobacco,a cash cow for all governments....not to mention all the special additives that are thrown into cigarettes........

Funny guys ... I thought for sure you'd focus on the part of the article that said that pot today was so much more potent than in the past ... no longer being a smoker myself (except of cigarettes), I have no way of comparing ...

I didn't see the article saying it was all hogwash ... I'll look further.

Well that ones kind of a true statement Pam,,,what they really mean to say is the weed grown there is better now(England),,,same applies to U.S.A and Canada....
The reason is in the good old days when it was imported from the countries with better climates like Hawaii,Columbia etc and was cheap and plentiful from there no one bothered to try to grow it here seriously...
Since the importing was cracked down on the weed is much better grown in North America now..Through selective genetics,cloning and special nutrients and indoor lighting the pot is much better now.....
Larry....would you like fries with that brownie?

with my birthday just a couple of days away, the annual Great American Smokeout is once again at hand as well (Nov. 21 this year)
I invite all my tobacco addicted blunderbuddies to make a gift to me of at least considering the possibility of making Nov. 21 the first day of the rest of your lives!

Or just switch from tobacco to something more mellowing... <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/naughty.gif" width=15 height=15>

I thank you all. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/cool.gif" width=15 height=15>

Fortunately I never smoked. It costs too much & I didn't want to damage my health. I figure if Arlo could quit then anyone can... <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Funny (odd, wierd, ect) that cannibis is in an old book of remedies I have. It's sapposed to be good for Asthma. With the copy write in the early 1800's. I would question it's proof.

Havin Asthma myself. Well, I couln't smoke tobacco. It puts me down on me knees getting sick. Pot. I wouldn't suggest smoking 3 joints a day. Maybe that's why it's stronger. So you DON'T have to smoke 3 joints???(unless your smokin with friends..)but does' anyone roll joints with thier hands nowadays?

compared to 20 yrs. smokin 'Luckys' reefer don't seem as bad.
