Marijuana users suffer from the lungs more than regular smokers, researchers reported in a recent study. In fact, marijuana can cause more lung damage than 2.5 to five cigarettes. The researchers said that cannabis, the plant source of marijuana, was associated with a dose-related impairment of the large airways, causing airflow obstruction and hyperinflation. But unlike cigarette smoking, cannabis was rarely associated with macroscopic emphysema.
Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug worldwide. Long-term use of marijuana is known to cause chronic bronchitis and airflow obstruction, but the prevalence of macroscopic emphysema, the dose-response, and the dose equivalence of cannabis with tobacco had not been determined yet. In a study were investigated 339 adults, ages 18 to 70. They were recruited from the Wellington region and putted into four groups: cannabis only (75 people), tobacco only (92 people), combined cannabis and tobacco (91), and non-smokers of either substance (81). More tar, apart from the long-term effects it has on the brain. Many people in hospital with mental health issues have been on cannabis. I sure wouldn't want to become a patient! |

your using an illegal substance. end of story. if it's medical marijuana and you got it prescribed, okay. otherwise, it's not okay. just don't be like the idiots here who carry weed in their pockets in town, you never know if it's going to slip out and next thing you know, a police car is right behind you. FCUKED. bye. dawg idk why you keep pushing the illegal thing, just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong; sounds more like you're just pissed off at some local potheadsalso, i don't do either but i'd take weed over cigarettes anyday on the list of things people should be worrying about, marijuana doesn't score very high really |
