How bad is Marijuana?

[HTexan]

No, I never wanted to fork over the money for one.

but think of your health wiggs

[T-rex]

With alot of the strains out now, one hit and your golden. Esp if youre an occasional smoker. And if your worried about your lungs, edibles are awesome. The one cool thing about weed, you can quit cold turkey at anytime without any withdrawals. Name any drug without withdrawals. Hell if i skip caffeine in the morning I get the most bone crushing headache ever.

fucking ice cream

[DK II]

Evidence suggests otherwise. Tobacco has a shitload of additives. Weed is just the flower of the plant dried.

But what do you smoke it with?

I've never seen anyone smoke pure weed, or is that common now?

[T-rex]

fucking ice cream

The reese's peanut butter cup ice cream? I stand corrected sir!

[Kulutues]

if you work out daily, use a well cleaned and diffused bong, and well prepared bud, there is basically zero detrimental cardio effect of weed on your lungs.  If you do not hold the smoke in, which you shouldnt, because all CBNs, CBDs, THC, etc is absorbed by your lungs within the first .5 second of inhaling.

That's all weed is. Pure. It's just a trimmed flower that's dried. Nothing added.
I usually use a bong. All I need is one or 2 tokes and I'm toasted.

Dangers are nothing more than the smoke inhalation and some possible mental challenges if you have a weak mind. None of these sides are very detrimental, nor are they permanent. Doesn't do anything to test, doesn't retard you and isn't going to make you crave a pile of cocaine or heroin injected into your rectum like the fear mongers suggest.

I finally got my medical exception so I'm able to use it anywhere a person can smoke. I eat brownies at work because they're douchy and try barring me from smoking, so I'm being a good little boy for now. I prepare my marijuana infused butter or oil very carefully and make sure not to denature the psychoactive goodies. I freeze my butter and make brownies every few weeks. Dosage is perfect for my needs. A full sized brownie would knock a 300lb man on his ass and send him to a psycho ward though... a dosage is the size of half a two bite brownie, possibly less. Great stuff.

Nick Diaz (mma fighter) is a huge pothead. Dude does triathalons to stay in shape. I honestly don't think it's anywhere near as bad as tobacco on the lungs. There was an article though that said smoking tobacco and weed together really fucks up your lungs.

What's your exact location?

[cephissus]

i've only smoked about two or three times i think, and all i can tell you is it seemed WAY less detrimental than alcohol.  on the other hand this might just be my fear of imbibing the shitload of poison required to get drunk; one of my friends is paranoid about his lungs, and claims alcohol is much safer.  

very odd experience and honestly i can't see it being addicting... but then again i only smoked a couple of times.  just seems like a waste of time to me... i was totally out of it.

I have friends that fun full marathons any time one is available and within driving distance. They are HUGE pot heads too.

I don't mind recreational smoking, because I do a lot of that too. But it's always responsible in the sense that I don't look like a giggly little fagboy who's got his hand in a bag of Cheetos and stammering on about the origins of life and Joe Rogan podcasts.

(please note, I do not discriminate against Cheetos, deep philosophical discussions about the origins of life nor Joe Rogan... just not all at once...)

@DK II

I have severe migraines, brotha! Preventative meds are too excessive and contain volatile side affects that make it unworthy of taking on a regular basis. I have some triptan medications I use to abort migraines, and I now take a little bit of an anti-inflammatory medication from time to time. I try staying away from the pharmaceuticals because they really pound my liver and kidneys... smashed my fucking skull open when I was a kid which might have caused them. Migraines run in the family too, so it looks like I was destined to have suffer.

Cool, that's really a good way to treat it then, much better than downing the advils like candy.

There might be a few on here that aren't cage fighters. Just a few though

of course it's not as bad as tobacco on the lungs...tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, throat, lungs, emphysema, and a million other terrible things...alcohol and tobacco are 2 of the worst drugs in the world for you...both directly cause cancer and death and ...rofl ppl think just cause theyre legal

For sure. Between NSAIDS and orals like Superdrol and m1t, my innards have taken a thrashing. Liver and kidney values always come back amazing, but I think I may have a lesion or something. That's partially my fault, whatever it is. But I've learned my lesson and abstain from drugs that I truly think are harmful.

It's nice knowing that no matter how much I smoke or eat, I can't possibly harm myself outside of getting a sore throat or tripping out for a few hours.

This is 100% spot on.

Now add shitty food loaded with transfats and sugar to it (also a legal drug IMO) and you have the worlds 3 biggest killers.

Well, besides the cancer and 100000000 other bad things that come with smoking.

I like the brownies though.

That's true... combusted plant matter isn't ideal to saturating your airways with.

The good thing is that I rent another property and grow my own, that way I know EXACTLY what goes into it. I use primarily organic, hydroponic nutrients and avoid questionable products and chemicals. I also make sure to clean my hydroponic equipment meticulously, monitor everything from start to finish and flush, dry and cure everything like a champ. I don't like putting chemicals and compounds into my body unless I am extremely confident in it's quality, contents and understand the implications inside and out.

I bought my first house this month so I'll need to get a new secured location to grow again. I also have a limit of 25 plants now so an upgraded facility is definitely in order. It will look like a professional lab once I've got it all setup.

Hey if you ever need a trimmer, I know my way around a bush

[OneMoreRep]

So what's the consensus?

Safe in moderation?

Addictive over time?

Gateway?

Possibly a better alternative to cigarettes and alcohol?
