I think i have recoverd (lungs heart circulation) after 3 years + of sobriety

[Ropo]

i rarely if ever get that abnormal skip in my heart that was due to some sort of blockage either or both aircirculation/bloodflow. When this would happen i would feel like i was going to die because it would be so sudden

just a recap...this all started the very last time  i smoked weed, and then for a couple of years it lasted. but this past 8 months it has really dissapated down to nothing at all

i am convinced the tars have finally started to wash away. yes weed smoking is probably even more worse due to its tar content than cigarettes.

i bring this up because a friend of the family died (another one ) early in life due to some sort of blockage then a heart attack (another smoker for years). I just hope we can get all people off of smoking especially the young people who think they are invincible, but of course those young people wont stop unless something happens like with me.

people dont realize how powerful tar is, its used on roofs to seal it up from water, this is what it does to your body. Water in your body cleanses you but the tar prevents your body from being able to cleanse itself. it takes a while to cleanse the tar since its so sticky in our bodies but it is possible. so maybe pass this along to old and young folk that there is hope

When you quit smoking, it takes more than 15 years before your lungs are back in the same level than non smoker, so three years is nothing at all. Tar is not the subject, but the other +5000 chemicals in tobacco and only god knows how many in the weed. It is quite funny that you are doing drugs and in the same time you are concerned about the tar in your lungs, like tar would be the most dangerous thing in your system.  You don't get heart blockage by smoking, it comes from you diet, you yeast eating fool. If you get the symptoms like those you mention, you blood flow is so full of fat that it is ready to kill you, and the weed was only the implement which make you feel it. When you smoke weed, your blood pressure drops and if you have already some circulation problems, you feel them better while your pressure is low. With fat in your veins you need high pressure to get blood flowing, and when drug suddenly drops it, you feel bad. It is always good to quit smoking, but you shouldn't wait any singns of the fast recover, because there will be none. Most important thing is your diet, because you are gaining fat after you quit smoking. Tobacco couch fades away, your breathing is easier but you may have an ashtma or COPD from smoking, and that should be checked because you will need medication for those. If not, you have to wait 15 years to know if you have get the lung cancer from it or not. If not, you have done it, and it is time to celebrate it.

What an encouraging post! Don't sugar coat anything.

Actually, smoking does cause atherosclerosis, a fatty buildup in the arteries and heart disease. See this link, http://quitsmoking.about.com/od/heartdisease/a/atherosclerosis.htm.

I had a panic attack from weed and what I found was that if I even smelled weed it would send me into a panic attack because i connected that smell with that awful event.  I quit smoking for a long time after that like 10 years.  After some time away I eventually didn't have panic attacks anymore so back to weed I went.  Only in moderation though.  I know how to control any anxiety before I get to the point of being carted off in an ambulance...lol.  Knowing my luck I will mistake a heart attack for a panic attack and tell myself it will pass.

This is a horrible thing about the strength of the mind. It can help you or hurt you.

When people have anxiety or panic attacks there is always an *association* and it is damn hard to get rid of once you have it!

On the other hand, when you are trying to learn something new, the mind has the ability to remember. You can actually LEARN the "learning process"

Crazy irony.

Don't forget the "age" factor. Once you are past a certain age, any tissue regeneration from a lifetime of smoking is damn near non-existent.

I am actually not quite sure about the Yeast and Bloodfat connection you mention. I know that there are side effects for many people (especially females) from eating yeast-laden foods, but I don't know what that has to do with high blood fats (cholesterol)

I heard if you quit smoking before you are 30, you have a high chance of getting back to normal within 10 years.

I smoked weed every day for a few years in college and it never harmed me in any way. It actually helped me with anxiety and made me sleep like a baby. Considering i graduated Magna Cum Laude, make your own relation as to if it makes you stupid or not.

Actually, most of the latest up to date studies show that weed smoke is not nearly as harmful as tobacco smoke.

The tar from weed isn't carcinogenic like cigarettes. There could be a bit more or less tar because it's not grown in a controlled environment though, so it's tough to say. Our body can clear it out for the most part. Can't speak for chronics, but I know my lungs are awesome and I smoke every day. I just smoke small amounts though (a few puffs before the gym, half a joint for migraines).

The stuff I grow is high potency and is flushed properly. I don't use organic nutes like hippy douche bag purists, but no hardcore chemicals either. Burns clean and no nitrate or chemical tastes.

tar from smoke is tar from smoke it is still very bad for you lol

Any smoke of any kind inhaled is carcinogenic.

by your analogy eating fat will kill you because it would increase bloodfats. you are wrong just like the others who havent a grain of intelligence to mine to compare wits .


and again you state people dont get heart blockage from smoking but from diet again im laughing at you but others are retarted enough to follow you

according to these nerds it is not adonis. lol what is wrong with these people

So are many other things people inhale/ingest daily.

Glad to know Johnny!

I'm not saying it is good for you because it's not.

But compared to other household items that we use daily, weed smoke isn't a big deal in moderation.

Now if you smoke blunts all day every day, you have more than a few problems in your life.

I'm glad you are drug free and moving on in life, but a lot of what you are saying is complete bullshit.

Comparing tar for housing projects to tar from inhaled smoke is retarded and just plain wrong.

But preach on falcon, you are on the right path.

[Borracho]

Any smoke of any kind inhaled is carcinogenic. 

Exactly.

Smoking anything is bad for you. Burning materials produces carcinogens and toxic by-products. Vaporizing on the other hand is a lot less harmful because it releases the wanted chemicals without the need to burn your bud at high temperatures. Not saying go nuts and smoke till you die but if you're gonna do it anyway I suggest investing in a good quality vaporizer if you ain't eating it.

Again, as far as cholesterol and bloodfats, isn't this where the gall bladder plays a very important role?

I mean, to emulsify fats (bile) by joining them with water as opposed to the original separation (can't mix oil and water) would render them less thick in the bloodstream.

From there you would consider artherosclerosis (hardening of the arterial walls) -  which, much like total blood serum levels of cholesterol (not solely "dietary") is highly genetic.

If the walls of your arteries are thinning, and developing a thickness to them that is creating blockage, plus the effects of the constant constriction/contraction that smoking provides (especially with alcohol, which is when a lot of people love to smoke) - you compound this even more by the type of LDLs or HDLs that are prevalent in your system and how they are effectively broken down.


Seems to me there are many generalized "blanket" statements being made here. One mans poison is another's  longevity. Not all react exactly the same way to identical stimulus, Mr. Mentzer.

[Borracho]

JF, if you have had issues with your heart I'd stay away from weed. I doubt the issues you had with your heart were solely on the fact you were smoking it.

[Big Worm]

im slowly getting more endurance back in my legs, im not dieting but im simply working out harder and harder consistently

even in your post it sounds like you give a pass to weed because yes (weed is cool as fuck, cigarettes=gay because of no buzz) but the thing is the tar in weed is equal to 5 cigarettes i would try EATING weed in some years when it becomes very cheap and common but no time soon. Weed is a great adrenaline mind trip booster and would be great if you can eat it. Forget about using a vaporizer because there is no such thing because a vaporizer still works by heating/burning the weed

Good for you.. Hope you get to that 100%,when you 1st started posting.. God bless,or alien bless..?  Whatever floats your boat.

I never understood why people don`t eat their weed and avoid the carcinogenic effect.  Also the effect lasts longer and is more powerful I have read.

The thing is that you have to ingest a lot more in terms of quantity as opposed to smoking. So smoking is more cost effective.

almost 4:20, i'm about to smoke a nice bowl of my golden kush



LOLOLOLOL

IF YOU DO 25 MINS OF RESISTANCE STAIR MACHINE EOD LIKE ME, SMOKING WEED HAS NO NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOU, WHY WOULD IT, HUMANS WERE MEANT TO SMOKE CANNABIS ANYWAY

EveryBODY is unique and reacts to substances in different manners. We were meant to eat, sleep, reproduce and survive....not to smoke, snort, and inject poison into our bodies.  All that shit is fun but its not what we were "meant" to do.

[GroinkTropin]

theres no medical evidence of what youre talking about...btw the tar used to seal up roads and shit is not the same thing as weed resin...lmao

Which means what exactly? What the fuck are you even talking about? Serious question...

Well, that point of view comes only from the fact, that you think you are something else than simple redneck brat, but that is only an illusion made by your stupidity. In fact, you are one of the most stupid individual what I have ever met even in the internet, and that is something. You should understand that nobody will see what you think you are, but everybody can see what you really are. I know you, I know who you are and what you do, how you eat etc. only looking your face.

Just when I thought smoking weed was fine... not even smoking weed is fine, god damn it, can't a man have ONE thing that blows your mind that is not unhealthy... I'm going to smoke weed with vaporizor, how's that for not getting tar! Besides I thought weed was a natural plant that was o'naturel with no tar!

joe rogan said he smokes it everyday even when doing jiujitsu

I'm psychologicly addicted to it, I started to smoke weed this summer for the first time and I'm not planning to stop if I find your rant is bullshit.
