Ive smoked weed for 28 years and am healthier than most 20 year olds !! and look and feel younger than any of the people that I went to school with .. not to mention that I haven't been sick at all in 20 plus years... And much SMARTER than YOU... ;-p

Actually its the carcinogens in the tobaco smoke that cause cancer. A recent Unvivercity studied showed that people who smoked weed actually have a higher lung capacity later in life than cig smokers AND non-smokers. At least according to a study published in Jan. 11 edition of Journal of the American Medical Association. A reliable source if u ask me. They think its because of the way its inhaled and held rather than evacuated immidiately as with a normal breath or cig. Thanks for sharing :)

Weed doesn't expand in your lungs.

You cough because it's not fucking oxygen.

[StegoBROrus]

Do I give a fuck? No. I don't. I'm not saying that smoking weed is going to give you cancer and make your health shitty, but you cough when you inhale smoke for a reason.

[russell mathis]

Well ..your entitled to your opinion.. Studies show that pot smokers are healthier, Do your studies before you attack me .. Your absurd, But you probably believe in santa... I smoke weed for health, now why the would you think I dont eat healthy organic food, I smoke healthy and organic..lol.. ..I'm right pot smoke isn't doing any harm to me, maye you cuz you eat chips and drink sodas..lol... They caugh bcuz the weed smoke expands .. You sound much more absurd with your comment ..

[StegoBROrus]

That's because people are becoming more and more unhealthy these days. It has to do with the foods. You can't say that you're healthier than most people just because you smoke weed, that's fucking absurd and just as bad as people that try to say weed is a killer drug. He's right, smoke is bad for your lungs. It may not be fatal or anything, but there's a reason people cough when they smoke it, or inhale any kind of smoke for that matter.

The seizure rates at the US border also should convince us to tax, legalize and regulate to starve the Mexican cartels of their lifeline. In 2009, almost 1.5 million kilos of cannabis were seized along the Mexican border the second highest item seized, Cocaine, only 17,085 kilos. Real Americans are loosing their lives fighting the border war and regulation could halt a lot of trafficking, keeping US dollars at home where they belong.
