The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.

The new findings "were against our expectations," said Dr. Donald Tashkin, a UCLA pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.

"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."

what he said, I'm going with the info provided by UCLA. besides,vaping is the way to go.

I heard this statistic before but it's hard to believe..

Why is that? Because science came up with the opinion instead of the church? Marijuana has been studied for decades and everyone comes to the same conclusion. Its not very harmfull and is actually a very effective medicine. Yet there are thousands of substances that have proven FAR more dangerous, with NO health benifits, yet the goverment has no problem taking its cut from the legal drug dealers that are popping up on every corner. You know, the walgreens, CVS, etc. Walk behind the counter in their pharmacy and there are MANY substances that will not only alter your mind, but very well kill you. If there were no war on drugs how would they get all the funding money lining everyones pockets?

Why crop the rest of that paragraph?

" However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous. "

Because it's obvious bullshit.

You don't need to be an MD in order to see it.

Intentionally inhaling ANY type of smoke will give you cancer. What they forgot to mention was that the ingestion or other means of taking THC has absolutely no dangerous side-effects whatsoever.

It's hilarious to watch junkies justify their addictions.

What's even funnier is watching the ignorant morons defend outdated and unjustified anti-drug laws.

**Nookster** · 01-29-2008, 02:50 PM

Also, what I pointed out, you totally ignored (hence ignorant)

Intentionally inhaling ANY type of smoke will give you cancer.

Im sure your a fat ass blimp sitting there sucking down Soda, which is full of sugar, which is the most potent drug on this planet. Sugar really has a horrible reaction in the body that kills people all the time but its not illegal. Ciggerettes kill more people in a day than pot will kill all year. FACT.

Oh man, I don't even know where to start with this. I know this guy is just trying to work people up and for all I know he's hovering over his keyboard trying not to spill his bong water when he's making his replies.
It never fails to amaze me the kind of pure shit trolls will post just to pump a post count or to try and rile people up.

I have a couple of friends and some uncles that would beg to differ.
On the other hand, I´ve smoked weed in the past and I´m not addicted. I haven´t smoked in over 8 months.

Where was the lung cancer epidemic from the 60's and 70's potheads in the US?

LOL thats such bullshit, its much less dangerous for your lungs, your lungs actually have receptors for it, there are no receptors for nicotine

**Spunky** · 01-29-2008, 05:48 PM

Moron.

Personally, I think they should. What I want to put into my body is my business.

**Mr. Deltoid** · 01-29-2008, 07:19 PM

Terrible study, far from conclusive.
