Smoked Cannabis' Effect on Lungs, pt. 1, Dr. Tashkin

[Stabsnipers]

Yeah can anyone explain WHY the government has a patent on cannabis and yet they're still arresting people for it?

watch?v=P6WqmI6UrHU

[techcafe]

inhaling burnt hydrocarbons is unhealthy, no matter what it is you're smoking, tobacco or marijuana.

so vaporize your cannabis instead (or ingest), then it's perfectly safe an medicinal.

[Hmach4r]

Go look up marijuana conspiracies , the fucking government doesn't want you to smoke weed because weed makes you think like a genius and you would figure out their new world order plan and the fucking illuminati

[tyler183]

And this is why I smoke chronic. This man tells it as is.

[prozak169]

alot of smokers are misinformed, THC is absorbed instantly, if you are holding your hit you are just damaging your lungs and killing brain cell from lack of oxygen .

[socalhippie420]

idk man!!

[socalhippie420]

will vaporizeing or using a bong lower the risk of geting broncitis emphazema or breathing problems?!!!

[zekdom]

@socalhippie420 Didn't we already discuss this?

[kmp3000]

Its almost impossible to do tests like this. Everybody is smoking different weeds, and putting various amounts in each spliff so its all nonsense really.

[IPiMpiNI]

i respect this dr. man he tells it

[DjHyphie]

A spliff a day keeps the evil away !

[mikethebike114]

@DjHyphie a joint a day keeps the doctor away you dumb fuck

[omnipresent13]

HEY REMEMBER THIS PEOPLE. IF IT IS REGGIE, THERE IS LESS THC GOODNESS COUNTERACTING THE PLANT MATTER BEING SMOKED. so smoke dank.

[127miles]

A joint a day keeps the pharmaceutical companies away! :)

[127miles]

a joint a day keeps the doctor away!

[Youssefk6]

a joint a day keeps the doctor away

Wait, what kind of marijuana did they test with? Theres a big difference in how much you smoke of mexican brick weed, and humboldt chronic. Mexican brick weed is probably sprayed with round up or burrito sauce or something, and could cause harm. Who smokes joints anymore anyways? its all about 1 hitter quitters from a glass piece.

[hilerc]

Regardless of whether or not it causes COPD, cannabis still has the similar effect on cilia and epithelial cells, meaning coughing is left as the only way to clear the trachea and lower resp tract of bacteria... Thus ingesting pathogens will be made much easier under the inhalation of cannabis.

[followthewicked666]

btw a pack of cigs is 20 cigs not 22

[ihearcalling]

@followthewicked666 most packs are 20, i think they're averaging for the less-common 25 pack.

[ibanezgeorge]

@followthewicked666 or 25

[ScientologySucksAss]

i got cancer in my lungs, i've been smoking pot since i was 17 and im 24. Should thc cure me if i eat it??

[zekdom]

THC provides protection against the carcinogenic chemicals in the smoke because...

"THC exhibits anti-tumor effects on various cancer cell types." Dr. Vincenzo Di Marzo

"THC kills cancer cells."-Dr. Liu

"Cannabinoids(like THC) as antioxidants and neuroprotectants"-Patent#66305­07(as represented by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

Cannabinoids are good for you. Especially if you extract the THC to make an oil to cure your cancer.

[zekdom]

I like this Tashkin guy. He single-handedly proved that marijuana smoke won't give you lung cancer. His study in 2006 looked at people with lung cancer. Some of the lung cancer patients were tobacco-only smokers, and lung cancer patients that were pot-only smokers. The tobacco-only smokers were found to have a 20-fold increase in lung cancer elevation in two weeks when smoking. There was zero elevation among the pot-only smokers. Dr. Tashkin admits that THC provides protection.

[steelpython]

Depriving your lungs of oxygen, regardless of the substance, will decrease your oxygen intake, thus creating symptoms of anyone who suffers from a continuous lack of oxygen. I could smoke dried carrots and get the same effects.

[olt007]

Not much people need to waste this plant by burning it, we want its cannabinoids..

not smoke to scrape our lungs

My eyes burn when i get too much smoke near a campfire, why would I put what burns my eyes in my lungs daily ?

[LemonG08]

@olt007 That's why I have a vaporizer!

[CNSagent]

@olt007 Here's why:

"Route of drug administration and drug formulation determine the rate of drug absorption. Smoking, the principal route of cannabis administration, provides a rapid and efficient method of drug delivery from the lungs to the brain, contributing to its abuse potential. Intense pleasurable and strongly reinforcing effects may be produced due to almost immediate drug exposure to the central nervous system (CNS)...

[CNSagent]

@olt007 ... Expectation of drug reward also may affect smoking dynamics. Cami et al. noted that subjects were able to change their method of smoking hashish cigarettes to obtain higher plasma concentrations of THC, when they expected to receive active drug in comparison to placebo cigarettes." - "Human Cannabinoid Pharmacokinetics" by Marilyn A. Huestis/ National Institute of Health/PMCID: PMC2689518

(part 3)

[CNSagent]

@olt007 ... "Those who deny the validity of "medical marijuana," cite that marijuana smoke contains four fold more tars than does tobacco smoke. Nevertheless, smoking is often the preferred route of intake by medical cannabis users because rapid action allows self-titration. Are the biological consequences of smoking cannabis and tobacco similar? Smoke from tobacco and cannabis contains many of the same carcinogens and tumor promoters...

[olt007]

Before considering the risks associated with smoking herb, one has to consider the risks of smoking contaminants of an uncontrolled product

I am not sure mold and mildew are good for anyones lungs

And a joint a day for 5 years might be ''heavy'' smoking as there are way better alternatives to smoking when consuming medicinal herbs, the only thing that might keep some patients smoking is its versatility

Whatsoever, anybody can eat edibles without others knowing what kind of butter or oil is in

[CNSagent]

@olt007 ... Slightly lower peak THC concentrations are achieved after smoking as compared to intravenous administration. Bioavailability following the smoking route was reported as 2−56%, due in part to intra- and inter-subject variability in smoking dynamics, which contributes to uncertainty in dose delivery. The number, duration, and spacing of puffs, hold time, and inhalation volume, or smoking topography, greatly influences the degree of drug exposure...

[CNSagent]

@olt007 ... However, cannabis and tobacco have additional pharmacological activities, both receptor-dependent and independent, that result in different biological endpoints." - "Cannabis and tobacco smoke are not equally carcinogenic" by Robert Melamede/Harm Reduction Journal/PMCID: PMC1277837

[drejtool]

Ooooh, how I like that plant! :)))

[lilnicky47]

a joint a day hahahahha

[0555656582]

I MY SELF DONT CONSIDER ANY OF THESE STUDY BECAUSE ALL OF THESE STUDIES ARE FUNDED BY GOVERNMENTS, EVEN THESE CHARTS tells that cannabis is still safer than tobacco, and its still illegal.

[MeatLoafEnchilada]

A joint a day is a lot? Since when?

[StartswithASeed]

@MeatLoafEnchilada a gram a day, ;)

[rieper96]

@MeatLoafEnchilada must be a big ass joint

[StarLitStranger]

So this is basically saying "smoking" anything is bad. What a surprise? lol

Still though I bet if you looked at cancer I'm sure.. its not the same.

[theREALdrugfacts]

i smoked cigs for a week , and wow my lungs felt like shite

And ive been a regular weed smoker for 2 years now and i havent felt the slightest effect on my lungs .

[duvenbook123]

@theREALdrugfacts ive had the same man, smoked weed everyday for a year, never had bad breathing, when i would have a day of fags, fucking hell, my breathing went to shit.

[SvarteFrost]

@duvenbook123 Yes i have expierenced this aswell.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

"I put together a comparison (PMID: 16232311) of the two that clearly shows why Cannabis smoke should not cause lung Cancer whereas Tobacco smoke should."

[stett99]

thats why its illegal bluedutchman

[Jumanji0028]

I didn't understand half of what he said but I like him.

[Tampinu]

my friend smokes 7 joints a day and doesn't consider himself a heavy smoker...

[Kostly]

LOL I bet his breathing is going well.

[SvarteFrost]

@Tampinu thats maybe because people don't see it as 'smoking' no more, with many it becomes part of a lifestyle, or better said, a way of life. Best regards from Holland

[ThePauldozer]

Ah this guy... he knows what he is talking about and he is actually impartial.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

CANCER CURE = RICK SIMPSON'S HEMP OIL

[canyouseetheproblem]

@EssiacHempLaetrile Cause of cancer....The rick roll

[bluedutchman8907]

well damn lets getting going legalize i knew it ever since i started smoking i question everything the government tells me it really opened my eyes

[thinkofwhy]

Why don't they just eat the hemp oil? It literally cures most chronic diseases, like cancer. It also has concentrated THC, unlike smoked marijuana.

[yellowkrux]

There is a problem with that, when delta-9 THC is digested it is metabolized into other chemicals including 11-hydroxy-THC which is much more psychoactive than delta-9, so they get "higher" than with smoked marijuana.

[Covey69]

That's not correct sir because I know, I have eaten the Oil many times. When you do eat it miracles happen like curing Cancer and diabetes, this Honorable Man Rick Simpson was doing it for 4 years to many people some who were to die of Cancer that or society sent home to die. He did it for FREE!

I'm curing my I.B.S. and sleep Apnea and losing weight healthy while not feeling like on a diet, Please learn the truth for your own family's sake.

[Covey69]

I also didn't get Higher and If you look at Rick's recommended dosage for 90 days he does it in a way you never feel the high or very very little.
