chronic obstructive pulminary disease

and the chronic will help b/c it expands ur bloodvessels and airway passages.. this is why ur eyes get full of blood... all the vessels expand.. so in the end u get happy hungry better circulation and more oxygen intake and distribution.. if u think otherwise ur view point is tired and has no commonplace in a healthy minded perspective.

Indeed, the modern cigarette has given smoking a bad name - heck, our ancestors even smoked Cannabis as asthma treatment. Tobacco is a broncial and vaso-constrictor, plus the added sugars in cigarettes caramelize upon burning and trap toxins in the lungs. This is the complete opposite of the vaso and broncial-dialation and expectorant qualities of smoked Cannabis.

Lets cut the bullshit here. If your religious its obviously god's medicine. If you ain't its nature's finest medicine. Follow your nose wherever it goes even if it leads to bushes of weed!

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

@EDENSHOME You're right, that is an absurd claim. Not sure where it came up though.

@AJXR227 studies are showing that it is almost a wonder drug.. even curing cancer in many cases. im not joking.

[AJXR227]

@AJXR227 fair enough. i too believe it has medicinal qualities but i wouldnt go so far as to say its a more potent healer than medicines

[creephorse]

@AJXR227 Well, that's just the way I see it. You've gotta realize, we're talking about a plant here that destroys cancer and has caused fewer deaths than drinking water has. How many drugs in our medicine cabinets can we say that about? The Cannabis truly seems like an incredibly powerful natural medicine to me. I'll link you some studies if you're interested.

@creephorse i agree that marijuana should be legalized and its not as bad as its set out to be, however, theres no way you can sanely tell everyone that "it is a potent healer and far more safe and effective than virtually everything on the mainstream medicine shelf". thats just not true

[creephorse]

Trust the Cannabis. It is a potent healer, far more safe and effective than virtually anything on the mainstream medicine shelf.

Spread the truth and let's legalize this thing 2010!
