Give me any studies that says marijuana is linked to cancer pls.

And few questions about the lung collapse.
When you vaped how much time did you hold your toke?
And how many times a day did you vape.

so it could've been from smoking anything, has nothing to do with pot in particular

_______________________________________
Held for 3 seconds, sometimes 10.
When my lung started to hurt i wouldn't even hold it.
3-4 times a day I vaped.

While there has been no direct link from marijuana to lung cancer - meaning, you could find studies that DO link it to lung cancer and studies that DO NOT link it... it certainly causes and has been linked other major issues with the body including Bullous Lung Disease and Testicular Cancer.

Bullous Lung Disease

Lung Cancer-
cannabis smoking was significantly associated with more than a twofold risk (hazard ratio 2.12, 95 % CI 1.08-4.14) of developing lung cancer over the 40-year follow-up period, even after statistical adjustment for baseline tobacco use, alcohol use, respiratory conditions, and socioeconomic status.

I think in terms of addiction imo you can say it is addictive not in the chemical sense that hard addictive drugs are but in terms of it being apart of someones schedule well yeah I mean anything can be addictive even gaming. If it is apart of your regiment and especially if it makes you feel normal or better. and you feel you life sucks well yeah your body can get addicted to it anyway.



Well that's why there is a problem with it as a whole you can't try and advocate something that can destroy someones life. And the argument that people always make that ya know people who smoked and had a panic disorder well that is because it was a pre existing condition. well yes that may have been a factor but I went all my life without having a panic attack and I was never a fearful person i am an adrenaline junkie.


And the other argument that marijuana use doesn't hurt anyone or doesn't impair you I gotta say that is utter bullshit. On the first time i had a bad trip If i would of drove my car i would most defiantly killed myself or someone else.

Its also even worse because the only real answer to panic disorder is you either gotta be very strong mentally have a strong will to not be disabled. a lot of people aren't that lucky. or get hooked up to zoloft and xanax which I mean if weed causes someone to get hooked on that bullshit how is this plant worship as an angel giver of happiness.

10 seconds seems awfully long to hold in. I usually hold it in 1-2 sec and I dont take huge hits.

I got studies saying something and you got studies saying the opposite. Just proves that we should investigate this plant a lot more.

It's set and setting. Some of the best experiences of my life were smoking weed on an irregular basis. I've studied a discipline and when I'm attuned to myself and smoke herb it brings about profound relaxation and a sense of a higher purpose to life, due to the elation.

I too have had this experience but in hindsight i'm not sure I really need this. Maybe the relaxation part but my mind is already so active that my theory is that if my brain gets overloaded I lose control. I just don't think I need something to help me be enlightened.

You don't need anything but yourself believe in yourself that YOU and YOUR mind can achieve what you so desire without a foreign substance.

I've definitely gotten higher without drugs than with them, but even though you aren't denying the favorable effect you aren't promoting it's use.

Marijuana is also abused and has a diminished benefit when misused, but why punish people for elevating their consciousness, be it on a regular or irregular basis?
