That's not what the study says.

Didn't click on the link, but is this really a new study? lol

Well obviously weed smoke ain't shit compared to cigarette smoke, but the study compares someone who smokes occasionally vs. someone who smokes cigs daily. If you smoke weed every day you are harming your lungs. Just not nearly as much as you are by smoking cigs, and if you stop smoking entirely your lungs can recover to nearly full health. The difference with cigarettes is it's proven that you have a high chance of developing some type of cancer. But obviously any smoke you are inhaling often into your lungs is not good for you.

The comparison was someone who smoked at least a joint everyday.

Whoops. I read this from yahoo yesterday so I was just going off memory but I guess I confused something different, I had thought that article mentioned that the lung damage for weed is minimal until you exceed 20 or so joints/month and I guess I associated that with <1 per day.

But 1 joint a day is not a fair comparison with a typical cigarette smoker. No one smokes 1 cigarette per day.

I vaporize or consume it. Smoke it very occasionally. My doctor just told me my lungs sounded good the other day. Love my mmj. :toast

but ded, it was just a little weed!

If people only knew how many cancer causing chemicals and radiation they breath in they're lungs on a daily basis I'm sure weed would not even be a problem.

But you did get Useruser666 to come in from the outside to post, so the topic is a win!

Well, I've been smoking weed daily for years and my lungs can still hold a nice hit for quite awhile so I'm good.

I have been Smoking for 20 years and my Lung feels great!

The only people who actually think marijuana is dangerous are those that I consider uneducated. Another word for uneducated is right wing christian. Another word is ignorant.
