long term use impairs lung structure and function. I mean, when you're smoke weed, you inhale it more deeply and retain it in your lungs longer than cigarettes.
I've learned that 1 marijuana cigarette is approximately equal to 5 tobacco cigarettes in carbon monoxide, 4 in tar intake and 10 in terms of damage to the cells lining the airway. --Joanne :P

personly I heard 1 joint is 6 cigarettes. Then again more people a alergic to cigarette make them worse. And/or most cancer is caused be stress, the addiction of cigarettes cause stress, and pot gets rid of stress....
The issue is not so balck and white now. So really do you want die from smokes that do nothing for you, or die with a smile on your face?

Oh yea I some times smoke pot for my asthma. It softens up my lungs, and is a the best pain killer. I don't really like what too much does to my head, so this is not just an excuse to do drugs.

yeah, the reason why weed is equivalent to so many cigarettes is because there's no filter with weed.... plus, as joanne stated, you inhale the smoke more deeply and hold it there whereas with cigarette smoke you dont actually inhale into the lungs (is that right? ive never smoked a cigarette before)

Im surprised that people arent knowledged about the real facts about marijuana.
The big concerns i had while smoking it was... How many deaths have been directly linked to the herb? None that I know of And whos telling me the information they know? Cops, Anti drug campaigns, Mothers, and teachers = some Biased info. Some info I've found useful with sources. "Nobody has ever overdosed. For any given substance, there are bound to be some people who have allergic reactions. With marijuana this is extremely rare, but it could happen with anything from apples to pop-tarts. Not one death has ever been directly linked to marijuana itself. In contrast, many legal drugs cause hundreds to hundreds of thousands of deaths per year, foremost among them are alcohol, nicotine, valium, aspirin, and caffiene. The biggest danger with marijuana is that it is illegal, and someone may mix it with another drug like PCP. Marijuana is so safe that it would be almost impossible to overdose on it. Doctors determine how safe a drug is by measuring how much it takes to kill a person (they call this the LD50) and comparing it to the amount of the drug which is usually taken (ED50). This makes marijuana hundreds of times safer than alcohol, tobacco, or caffiene. According to a DEA Judge ``marijuana is the safest therapeutically active substance known to mankind.''

I wouldn't care so much about how many deaths it's directly linked to as much as the long-term side effects. I mean, if long term use leads to impaired lung structure and function, that itself can indirectly lead to death. --Joanne :P

fuck that shit there is now way in hell 5 joints does the same amount of damage as 113 cigarettes, think about it smoke 5 joints and see how you feel, now smoke 113 cigarettes hows your lungs gonna feel after that? seriously. the satistics are based on how much tar is produced not on damage . how many unnatural chemicals are in cigarettes? a shit load , the only time there is unnatural chemicals in weed is when the grower does not flush the weed right, so buy good weed and smoke it :finger: FUCK CIGARETTES BECUASE THEY ARE WAY WORSE FOR YOUR HEALTH THEN WEED.
