Dr. Donald Tashkin Marijuana Lung Cancer Study Pt 1 of 2
September 3rd, 2009 | by admin |
Pulmonary specialist and Federal Government researcher from UCLA Geffen School of Medicine finds that marijuana does not cause lung cancer in his study on the effects of cannabis and the lungs. Results of this study are discussed for the first time. If you agree that cannabis should be legal, write a letter to your congressperson and tell them to legalize it!

Tobacco takes 20 years for symptoms to show so if there is a link between marijuana and cancer it would take 20 years to develop and a persons use is likely to change from use to use over time.

i think it depends on how you smoke, like how long you hold it in, and how big of a hit you take.

did you watch the entire video? It does have bad side-effects just like Tylenol, and Ibuprofen, and alcohol,and cigarettes, granted you cant compare all those things apple to apple, but its just ignorant to think that people think that way. I have been smoking marijuana for about 6years and am well aware of the POSSIBLE side-effects. also marijuana helps me when i have head-aches or a upset stomach. And just because you were raised to think otherwise dose not mean its true.

Now, when you say, “People who smoke weed are just rationalizing and being ignorant.” Are you trying to imply that everybody that smokes weed is ignorant? and “They don’t wana accept the bad side effects of the drug.” Oh really? How can you say something like that when even medical professionals smoke weed? Why are you such a dude?

On a final note, vaporizers suck. They taste of absolutely nothing, you may as well inject yourself with THC.

The way i figure;
1) Tar, and lots of other nasty additives are absorbed in the water of the bong, but THC is not water soluble, i think.
2) The water actually cools the smoke down, and the heat off smoke is one of the most damaging aspects of smoking.
3) No tobacco, always a bonus.

I really don’t think there is 1 objective study out there. Pro-marijuana guys and the anti’s just keep throwing bullshit studies back and forth and no one’s getting smarter.

because people who smoke cigarettes probably inhale a lot more smoke than a person who smokes 5 joints a day, which I would imagine would be considered very heavy marijuana use.

try it without the water, I recently switched and it gives a much better effect, you need much less for each bowl. I tried it after reading that water can absorb THC.

This study only …
This study only examined those who were inhaling cannabis through the burning of the plant material. Through vaporization, the plant material is not burnt, the only substances that the individual is inhaling are the cannabinoids that produce the benefits ociated with canabis consumption. If a UCLA specialist’s study produced inconclusive results from particpants who consumed cannabis through smoking, then imagine how inconclusive a study might be if the participants solely vaporized cannabis.
