I work from home... I wanna smoke all day, but it makes me all ADD

 

[MrSterlingSays]

Have you tried Serinity Now? I have sent out for some CHILL which is legal. Find it on Iamshaman.com

 

[webetricky]

best way to treat weed is just like alcohol imo, unless you have a legit medical issue. I wouldn't drink all day, and I TRY not to drink every day, so I try to do that same with weed...too much anything is not good. Except money, obviously

I haven't been reading the responses after this, but I'd like to say there have been studies (check erowid.org) indicated that long term use of marijuana does not affect lung capacity or the healthiness of lungs. It has also been shown that it in no way increases the chance of lung cancer. One of the main things that people associate weed to is lung cancer, which a large majority of those smokers also smoke tobacco, which obviously will fuck up your lungs and can give you cancer. Weed itself doesnt, unless you only smoke blunts or joints.

TL;DR: weed doesnt fuck up your lungs.

Made me lol.

Common sense - you're inhaling smoke from a burning and plant and maybe paper. You're going to get tar, carbon monoxide, etc in your lungs whether its tobacco or weed, rolled in paper or smoked through a pipe/bong, etc.

erowid.org article: Erowid Cannabis Vault : Exposing Marijuana Myths

Basically this says marijuana smokers are less likely to get chronic bronchitis and emphysema than tobacco smokers because the two smokes affect the lungs in different ways.

The nature of the marijuana-induced changes were also different, occurring primarily in the lung's large airways - not the small peripheral airways affected by tobacco smoke. Since it is small-airway inflammation that causes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, marijuana smokers may not develop these diseases

And that marijuana smokers only smoke a few joints per day vs the average tobacco smoker smoking 10-40 cigs per day. This doesn't mean weed is less damaging, just that it's smoked less.

in extremely rare cases (or not at all), tar is the cause for lung cancer. the radioactivity that is added for the growth of tobacco is what causes lung cancer. marijuana on the other hand, doesn't contain this radioactivity, and contains 67% less tar. There has not been a single case of lung cancer linked to smoking marijuana. THC is actually a known bronchodilator, leading to the prescription of THC for some asthma patients.

I might have to rephrase what I originally said about lung capacity. There is a possibility that smoking large amounts of weed can effect lung capacity, but it has not been researched enough to yield completely accurate results. There is a little discretion here

so basically, you didn't read the link I posted or watch the video. tar is the chief problem for black lungs, breathing problems, and yes even lung cancer. particulate matter introduced. this was the case even before tobacco companies used phosphate-based fertilizers which contained polonium-210. radioactive materials sure don't help, but it's not the cause.

More of my thing in High school, Shit, I kept wawa in business.

 

[outofcoffee]

I blaze nearly everyday and I can easily run 3 miles straight without a problem

the bad effects of marijuana are exaggerated

 

[CallOnMe]

weed and alcool are not good for internet marketing
coke and ginseng are the answer

 

[cougarclaws]

did I just step out of a time machine? I logged in went to STS and this thread was at the top.

 

[Diplex]

Poll bumping FTW

 

[cougarclaws]

Wow... I've been a mod on a forum that uses vBulletin for 2 years and I didn't know voting bumped a thread.

Well it depends on the individual some can smoke and be productive, and others can't everyone is different

Well, I have an uncle who runs a rehab center here in Portugal. Most of the people there have problems with heroin and cocaine, but some are chronic cannabis users.
What I have personally seen is that a substantial percentage of those chronic cannabis users develop some kind of psychosis like bipolar disorder (and a small percentage even gets schizophrenic).
This is not a thing that somebody told me or that I’ve read in a book. I’ve seen it.
So you guys better take it easy.

Actually, from what I read recently, while it's true that cannabis users are more likely to have Schizophrenia, all the evidence suggests that it's not cannabis causing Schizophrenia etc, it's the Schizophrenia that's causing the cannabis use.

While the rate of cannabis use has risen dramatically in certain countries in recent years, nothing out of the ordinary's happened to the rate of schizophrenics. It's just that the people with Schizophrenia & bipolar are more likely to smoke weed to help deal with their problems than people without, hence the effect you described. Nothing's shown cannabis use to cause schizophrenia though. Basically, the people you 've seen were doomed from the start, tbh, although the cannabis may have actually helped them be better with it than they would be without.

That documentary was ridiculously biased, as is to be expected with all BBC cannabis documentaries.

It's no doubt the tar from smoking joints, blunts, even bongs will damage your lungs.

Vapes and edibles for the win.

 

[dsiomtw]

Simple solution to the only con with smoking weed - use a freakin' vaporizer.

It's cooler to smoke it.

 

[gseki]

I don't smoke while working though. Or drink, for that matter. Either one makes me want to put on a movie and do absolutely nothing productive.

This. It always blows my mind how people "work" baked as fuck.
