Hey guys, hope all is well this beautiful day.

Ok so, I'm searching the internet for drug information and an advertised link pops up and I couldn't resist clicking on it.
http://www.abovetheinfluence.com
According to this site smoking marijuana has the same effects on the brain as long turn heroin or cocaine abuse. I than proceeded to click the 'Mythbusters" link where they bust myths about pot, here's my favorite,
"Myth: Smoking pot is not as bad as cigarettes.
Fact: Neither is good for you and here's why: Inhaling burning dried plant smoke into your lungs, whether it's tobacco or pot, is bad for you. Maybe you aren't too worried about cancer at this point in your life, butm just so you know, one marijuana joint can deliver four times as much cacer-causing tar as one tobacco cigarette."
What I picked up on this? Smoke cigarettes instead of pot!
Anyways, I'm gonna go get high and browse the site some more so I can laugh my ass off!

"one marijuana joint can deliver four times as much cancer-causing tar as one tobacco cigarette."

thats because they are looking at the tabacco in a joint as a cigarettes worth minus the filter. a blunt/skinner made with little or no cigarette tobacco doesnt count. its the tobacco that is the main cause of the radicals involved. par#tly the nitrates producing radicals, partly the tar

Makes me laugh! There has never been one recorded case of Cancer with Marijuana, yet they tell us that we are at 4 times the risk? That means 4 times the amount of people who die from lung cancer due to cigarettes should be dying from Marijuana smoke, yet we see not one! It is all bullshit! It is comical to even read government websites, because they are lying through their teeth. What is sad is that over half of our population actually believes this bullshit! HA

peace & love

working in a chipshop (french fries?) will expose you to far more radicals than smoking IMO. most organic chemistry is radical chemistry. tar, chips, epoxy, coal, car fumes. what is dangerous? only cannabis is illegal. my first budgie died as my mother was cooking chips. i dont remember it ever making a joint

Didn't Bob Marley die of a brain tumor?

I know THC has healed cancer, but smoking it (not vaporizing) it, gives free tar, right?
Everything that smokes releases tar, or am I misinformed?
there's a test you can do.

Take a puff from a cigarette, don't inhale and blow the smoke as hard as you can on your wrist. Make sure no smoke can escape your mouth. Just your mouth on the wrist and blow the smoke against it.

Now take a puff from a PURE joint and do the same

I mean, if you smoke a bong... it gets all green and you can see there's something sticking to the bong.
Why wouldn't it stick to your lungs then? :d

Bob Marley was obviously assasinated/sacrificed !

To get cancer you need a immunosupressive radiation mutated virus, radiation (google tobacco + radiation) and tar to create irritation.

It does stick to your lungs, but it's absorbed or pushed up as mucus soon enough.

 

[restin]

wtf?? no. Asbestum also doesn't create radiation but sticks to your lungs -> cancer.

Bob Marley had a little tumor in his foot, but was too stubborn to do anything about it, until it spread to his brain. That's the general story, and it sounds reasonable to me.

 

[GOD]

His toe spread to his brain ?

I think he was an alien and he new about 119 so they popped him .

Demonisation, started 2008 years ago and it still continues today.

You know what's interesting?

You smoke nicotine in your house, 3 days later it's still that fucking smell. Why? Because nicotine smoke sticks to everything.

You smoke pure grass in your house, within the same day the smell has dissapeared. Why? Because the smoke of grass is subtle and very gentle.

Smoking weed should be done pure, adding nicotine to it is even worse that nicotine alone!

And by the way, grass smokers smoke for an effect and not the smoke habit itself. It's a matter of ingestion. You smoke it to access extended thoughts.

Smoking it pure requires 2 hits for the usual desired effects. Do it once week, and notice your opened sensory. Sophistication that is.

The nicotine smoker needs his stuff every 2/3 hour and is addicted to the smoking method itself. In his spare time each half hour is not an exception. He is depending on a constant presence of nicotine in his blood 24/7.

My skin becomes very smooth and vital from just once a week cannabis, it keeps me healthy and guides me through the week by critical reflection. Hence the joyness of music, the willingness to take time for taking a look at new terrains.

Proper use of cannabis means dying with still a lot of interesting fields left that haven't got elaborated attention due to a lack of time.

Bob Marley had a little tumor in his foot, but was too stubborn to do anything about it, until it spread to his brain. That's the general story, and it sounds reasonable to me.

In other words, I hate suffering or being incomplete and can't face life in such a situation. It could have been an opportunity to mask another reason. Celebs are awfully afraid for having to display their total absence of joyness in their private life. They totally lean on acknowledgement for their 'perfectness with no lacks.' Their pride is sometimes more worth than seeing the light of life. Being normal is worse than death.

He could have easily had a foot amputation instead. Abandoning life sounds to me that he refused to take responsibility for a value, that value being life. It's a duty for every human. Only those who either think they are greater than life itself or those who're unhappy in their deepest avoid this duty.

Doing it this way, is of course being remembered for this kind of death. See how we all know about Bob's Marley's dead? His name is remembered even clearer thanks to that.

Not trying to bash though, but following such a thing is the same as a Christian who denies any medical support throughout his life because the saviour Jesus sacrifrices himself as well.

These choices are only benefitical if you've got a worldwide audience, it makes you a legend instead of an idol/hero/champion.

Asbestos poisoning might look like cancer, but it's only because fibers get rolled into little balls of mucus that melt into your lungs, it will kill you as effectively however...

All the THC bob smoked would have saved his brain from cancer, LOL !

His brain didn't swim in blood, it swam in THC !

About that amputation thing... my dentist has been telling me that if I hadn't my teeth pulled, I would die of a terribly painful abcess.

Yet thanks to oil pulling www.oilpulling.com and keeping clay in my mouth and spitting for days, has cured one of them completely, and they other is almost gone now.

Cutting parts is not always the best solution, but I agree with you on that one

I read that it was because of his Rastafari-religion where one doesn't cure wounds but dunno.

about asbestos:
asbestos is not a single substance. it is a term applied broadly to a family of naturally occuring hydrated silicates that crystalise in a fibrous manner. these minerals are generally subdivided into 2 forms, serpentine and amphibole fibers.

the serpentine form, chrysotile, is essentially the only form used in the USA and Europe is chiefly mined in Russia and Canada where as the amphibole crocidolite is mined only in small quantities in South africa.

the two minerals differ greatly in composition, color, shape, solubility and persistence in human tissue.

crocidolite is blue, relatively insoluble and persists in tissue. its fibres are long,thin, straight and they penetrate narrow lung passages.
in contrast chrysotile is white, and it tends to be soluble and disappear in tissue. its fibers are curly. they ball up like yarn and are more easily rejected by the body.

occupational exposure to asbestos can cause 4 types of medical problems: asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma of lung tissue and benign changes in lung tissue. asbestosis is a nonmalignant scarring of lung tissue that can lead to disability and death.
lung cancers are tumors that have been found in asbestos workers who are smokers, but rarely in non smokers.
mesothelioma is an extremely rare but fatal tumor in lung tissue.

there is some diference of opinion but the weight of evidence suggests amphiboles are more potent than chrysotile in the induction of fibrotic lung disease and asociated lung cancers
