hah my shit aint THAT dirty haha.

worst you'll find in any of mind would be a tiny bit of dust and some fuzz from my house.

but I'll admit there is shit in my weed too, nothing bad but stuff does manage to get stuck to that shit no matter how clean you are.

Honestly, poplars I believe you when you say you THINK your plants are clean, but are they really? there is no way of really knowing. Of course the vast majority of folks buy their weed from unknown sources who use unknown methodologies. That's why it is very important to get weed legalized and under the FDA. It's a health issue, not a criminal issue. if Obama wanted to get around the LEO republicans, this is his best and most HONEST angle.

Obama: Look, we are realistic enough to know that millions of Americans are ingesting marijuana, and so far the war on MJ is a failure. i want to make it safe for those that indulge, just like we make alcohol pure and safe for consumption in moderation. We owe it to those people out there who are smoking MJ without a clue to how it was raised or treated...."


out.

Ok how about weed in comparison to tobacco use? I hear so many people say smoking Marijuana is so much worse. I am pretty damn athletic and don't really have any breathing problems a tobacco smoker has. Is this because tobacco smokers smoke so much more?

Well, let's face facts...smoking is bad for your lungs...any kind is. Tobacco has all kinds of stuff in it but it also has a filter. Weed is smoked like camel unfiltered cig's but like I have been posting...who knows what other stuff is riding along with it? I honestly don't know which is worse.

Smoking has absolutely no negative effects on the immune system. It actually has powerful immunomodulation properties, which has been proven to help fight pretty much every disease they have ever tested it against.

Ohh and in case anyone does not know this. Weed ENHANCES things. So if you're sick it can ENHANCE what you're feeling, which is sick. It can exagerate anything you're feeling, including pain.

---Baloney......not for me at least. If anything, it takes AWAY the pain.
It would be an extememely random person whose pain was "enhanced
rather than alleviated.
MJ has extremely POSITIVE effects on the immune stystem.
If you have a case of bronchitis, it's a given that you don't irritate the shit out of your bronchial tubes.........smoke, regardless of "where" it come from will act as a deterrent rather than an alleviating factor.

tobacco is bad because of the fertilizer they're required to use to grow it that contains Lead-210 and Polonium-210.

when you smoke tobacco you're exposing yourself to ionizing alpha radiation. that's primarily why tobacco smoke is bad for you, aside from the other lung ailments that I'm not familiar with .

either way, you never hear of weed smokers with the same problems as cigg smokers, and there's a hell of a lot of pot smokers out there so maybe we should be seeing these drastic effects? somewhere? lmao.

"They say" that smoking a joint is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes........I have no dispute with that.
You are athletic and smoking because you are YOUNG...........look babe, it doesn't last forever.
I used to workout for SEVERAL hours a day. People were astonished when they witnessed me smoke after running 10 miles and having lifted weights for an additional 2 hours....hardcore at that.
........Then I would go rollerblade for thirty some miles plus, but guess what?
It WILL catch up with you------NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WORK OUT.

Well, you know, I'm not going to dispute these factors either. It really is all the added CRAP they put into the nicotine (that is already addictive as shit already) that is truly the real deterrent to your system.

I have to disagree. cannabis doesn't really effect people like that. I mean they may not be in the best shape of their life . . . but their lung performance only goes down 3% even with heavy use . . . .
