"Hurr durr, pls tell me ur joking >:c "
Shit keeps getting added to them, pal

Cigs are engineered to make you get hooked, while the genetic engineering of weed is to change how the high feels and how it tastes only.

You, as well as all the potheads that bitched at me, need a good pair of glasses.

Smoking cigarettes is bad, yes. Smoking weed is also bad because of what you're inhaling. I never claimed that smoking cigarettes isn't bad.

 

[cearp]

yeah I guess smoking anything is bad.
but no one said you need to smoke it.

The worst recorded physical case from smoking marijuana was wheezing and a cough.

Smoke is harmful to lung health. Whether from burning wood, tobacco or marijuana, toxins and carcinogens are released from the combustion of materials. Smoke from marijuana combustion has been shown to contain many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke.4-7

Beyond just what's in the smoke alone, marijuana is typically smoked differently than tobacco. Marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than cigarette smokers, which leads to a greater exposure per breath to tar.8

Secondhand marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins and carcinogens found in directly inhaled marijuana smoke, in similar amounts if not more.5 While there is no data on the health consequences of breathing secondhand marijuana smoke, there is concern that it could cause harmful health effects, especially among vulnerable children in the home. Additional research on the health effects of secondhand marijuana smoke is needed.

Even in that article, the only condition that isnt associated with immunosuppressive disorders like hiv (the whole section about lung damage from smoke) has this clause at the end

"However, it's not possible to establish whether these occur more frequently among marijuana smokers than the general population.4"

So you're saying that, although they found the same toxins in joints as there are in cigarettes, smoking them has no drawbacks. Ok.

And then y'all wonder why people find potheads annoying. It's like talking to a holocaust denier.

I'm not saying its 100% safe, nor do I smoke pot. But so far the only significant studies only show damage to the myelin sheathing of very specific neurons.

Damage to the myelin sheathe sounds pretty devastating tbh. A lot of really debilitating diseases share that etiology.

 

[Noctosphere]

BTW, guys, I'm tempted to get some cannabis oil
you know, I have Tourette syndrome and Parkinson
I'm pretty sure it will help a lot
But I'd like to know, do you think cannabis oil will be safer than joint?
I know smoking cannabis can cause problem for the brain...
But is it the same for oil?

If I recall correctly its primarily in the amygdala, which is why stoners are lazy and ok with being bored.

smoking and injesting have different breakdown methods in your body
last different times, give you the effects faster (smoking)
read up about it, it's your health, don't just listen to me
any 'negative' aspects will occur from both.
if i was you, with the illnesses you said you have, i'd try it out.

Smoking it can cause lung cancer, same as cigarettes. Oils, tinctures, and edibles don't and have a full spectrum of effects. Smoking and other RoAs have very different effects. With smoking, the effects usually take about 5 minutes max to kick in, sometimes instantly. Edibles and other methods require a little more time to start working (sometimes hours). Honestly in your case I would start ultra small and work your way up to an acceptable dosage that seems to ease your symptoms. Be warned that the active ingredients in weed, namely THC, have been known to exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders like schizophrenia and psychosis. I recommend a strain with a high ratio of CBD vs THC. I know from experience that high-THC strains can take you to places you don't want to go, and are really only good if you have someone or something to distract you and keep your mind from wandering into subjects like your own mortality and the make-up of the universe. I personally don't touch the shit because I can't stop thinking about death while I'm on it and it's just not fun or medically beneficial to me anymore. It does help a lot of people though, and I do recommend trying it at least once to see if it helps.

thanks
I might try it, I first need the approuval of my neurologist
IDK, maybe my current medecine won't like it
For example, there are some painkiller I can't take because of them, so... you see...?

Also, I heard a lot about THC, but what the hell is CBD? I hear about it frequently lately

I discussed this a bit in your blog post. Different cannabinoids effect different people in different ways, but for the most part I think CBD is snake oil when isolated. It needs other cannabinoids to interact with in order to get the full effects, and even then all you'll really get out of CBD is a calming effect and an anti-inflammatory effect. It may not be that helpful for tourette's or parkinson's symptoms. Again though, everyone's different, and you can certainly get CBD with trace amounts of THC that won't be enough to get you high. At my dispensary we've got all the way up to 30:1 CBD:THC in tinctures, edibles and etc. As @Subtle Demise said, start with small doses, and work your way up only if you're not getting the desired effect.

Start small and work your way up I take 1-2 50mg capsules daily and I'm a daily concentrate user (non-solventless) 5 mg may do for one user where as another needs 100mg + all depends on the person tho. I have been a card holder for over 4yrs+ just make sure what you are buying is tested and has lab results etc.

yea well, it's now legal in Canada, so I guess I won't get scrap if I go to SQDC (SQDC is a new government company that has monopoly of canabis market in Quebec)
