he has it in a pick up soccer game when
he felt winded and kicking the ball caused

Dude, you’re completely wrong about not getting cancer from smoking weed. Think about it, how is smoking ANYTHING going to be good for your lungs? It’s not. You’re still inhaling tar, just like cigarettes. You’re missing out on the nicotine but that’s about it. The reason why dope only smokers have less chance of getting lung cancer is simply because they don’t smoke as much compared to tobacco smokers.
It’s not uncommon for tobacco smokers to have a packet + a day. However not many dope smokers smoke 30 joints a day. This is the only reason why lung disease is less prevalent amongst dope only smokers. It still irritates your lungs in the same way as tobacco. In fact, since when you smoke dope you draw it deeper into your lungs and hold it in for longer than tobacco, it’s actually worse.
Don’t get me wrong Dman, if you read my previous post you’ll know I’m a proponent of dope. But to say that ‘no dope smoker has ever gotten cancer from it’ is just ridiculous. So don’t kid yourself. Smoking is not good for you. It’s a disgusting way to ingest drugs and smoking anything will increase your chances of getting lung cancer.
Russel, The reason why weed is less likely to cause cancer than tobacco is because of all the carcinogenic chemicals added to cigarettes. I agree that weed can cause cancer but I would imagine it’s not nearly as significant as tobacco, red meat, air pollution etc. Cannabis does do harm to the lungs but it is something which repairs itself after the cessation of smoking. It is generally accepted that weed’s only significant cancer risk is to the mouth.
i am not saying its good for the lungs, and there can be other problems besides cancer. there are some interesting articles on erowid, the tar is different in weed than tobbacco…
Red meat causes cancer? Did you get that from a vegan propaganda web site? Humans have been eating red meat as a primary food source for 3.5 million years. Maybe some of the chemicals and crap in a the factory beef in the store may have a role to play but red meat in and of itself doesn’t cause anything but a full stomach.
Hey not disagreeing about what’s in the red meat (all the additives etc) that causes the cancer but red meat has been linked to cancer - along with just about everything else in the world. I’m not against eating meat either (I do 2-3x a week) but it’s just like anything else. Apparently enough breathing of oxygen will evetually get you lung cancer. I was really just throwing the example in for sake of arguement.
Here’s a funny website:

It might very well be that you dont see any ill effects from the smoking and toking of marijuana. However, i would contend that you are not looking hard enough. If what you are saying is correct, about the frequency of your chemical enhancement, then not only will it give you the same health risks as smoking ( cancer , ect. ) , but it will also make you a less motivated towards work, school, or anything that requires effort. Whether you see that as a plus or not is your view. Im saying all of this while keeping in mind that i myself use such substances once or twice a month… Now here is the pothead as opposed to the moralist speaking " Even though i don’t reccomend such frequent use, for the reason’s given, there are other more hedonistic issues at hand. You will simply get LESS high from such chronic use of the chronic. " [/quote]
Hehehe.
Once or twice a month and calling herself a pothead… And chemical enhancement? Cocaine is a chemical enhancement, weed is just a plant.
And that’s one hell of a bump, Heracles.
Did you see the post count on the OP, WTF is that even possible that early in this website? Just WOW
Try quitting for 1 month.
WTF bump!
You fuckers bumped a 9 year old dead? Fuck!
Ha!
Just because of this, I’m going to smoke a bowl right naow. And maybe boot up some Mass Effect 2.
Nope, DEFINITELY booting up Mass Effect 2.

just cuz you’re not privy to this yet, all old threads like this with old posters/members have the same join date (Oct 2003 I believe) and they ALL have the same numbers of posts … it has something to do with site maintenance or something … I’m not LowFatMatt so I’m not too sure WHY this is, but I do know it is so, don’t be surprised by this, it’s not accurate
I mean this thread was created in 2001, all the posters in it prior to it’s resurrection have join dates in 2003 … so, don’t go posting in each and every thread out there to try to catch up to that astronomical post count … i mean Prof X has been posting here since 03 and only has 30,000 … so, what I’m saying is Prof X is a slacker

Keep posting like that and Prof.X will sneak into your house and kill your while you’re watching Inglorious Bastards on Blue Ray.

I’ve been on this site since 2000. The board has gone through many transformations since then and one of them is responsible for the post count of the OP and also the erasure of my original join date.
There are certain dates of joining that many posters from that time share becayuse as the board updated, so did our join date.
In Toronto they have this cool head shop where you bring in your own weed, smoke it and chill out and drink coffee. The only rules are that you can’t sell weed, or bug other people to share. After that, you are in the one of the best food cities in the world… All the chicks are hot, too… Seriously. One of my favorite North American cities.
