If Cannabis was as cancer causing as tobacco..would you still smoke it?

[99%]

Here's a thought for the sake of discussion. Imagine if the tobacco/cancer link time frame was changed to a cannabis/cancer link?

Here's the question - If Cannabis was as cancer causing as tobacco is.....would you still smoke it?

Please post your comments, but state first with a yes or a no if you would or not still smoke cannabis.

My answer is Yes, but I would of tried to use it only occasionally.I love the feeling of being high and have for the past 45 years (daily, three or four times!)....and probably would of stopped using it more than weekly (but damn, that would of still been difficult)

I would, but then I smoke tobacco too.
Luckily though, it ain't

 

[stoned-trout]

I quit cigaretts,so ya I got to smoke something...yeehaw

 

[hayday]

Yes... definantly yeah.

 

[stihgnobevoli]

i'm gonna say no, or as little as possible. cigarettes cause cancer. i'm still trying to quit...for who knows how many dozens of years now. can never totally seem to quit it. 99% at best.

Is this a phylosophical question? Anything can trigger cancer. Worrying too much, for example. But let's try this way. If tomorrow a new fashionable drug would come with the tag "cancer inducing", i would not try it, no. However, if you tell me after almost four decades as a toker that cannabis is cancerigenous, then i would go to the funny pictures thread and forget about this one. As species go, we are doomed from day one, to say the least. It's the meantime that matters. Even if you've got cancer. Specially if.

Almost all lung cancer is caused by cigarette smoking, however, most smokers will never get get lung cancer. The real hazards of cigarette smoking come from having heart attacks, strokes, bronchitis and emphysema. Bronchitis and emphysema together are called COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Spock died from COPD.

Spock smoked cigarettes ?

Goes agains't the living long and prosper idea.

Is there any case of people getting cancer or copd from cannabis ?

Tobacco itself, say if you grow your own, probably doesn't cause cancer. The cancer is caused by all of the chemicals they put in the cigarette tobacco and every smokeless tobacco besides Grizzly and American Spirit. Grow your own! I have.Tobacco is a sacred plant.

 

[armedoldhippy]

yes, I certainly would. BUT, you have to remember that I smoke very little/seldom, and it takes very little to "settle my hash" as the saying used to be. when it is safe for me to do so, no doubt I will smoke a bit more/more often, but I will never be back to the ounce a week that I used to smoke...

 

[atk7]

Yes,, but I also mostly vape and no where near the oz a week I used to smoke in my younger days. Of course that was a lot of brick weed and it took at least a full gram to even get an effect. Where as the weed I grow now only takes a hit or two for the same effect. I also quit smoking tobacco for the third time about ten years back ( was a pack a day smoker ) . The benefit to quality of life smoking herb (makes me feel great) vs a known carcinogen like tobacco (which made me feel awful , this I realized after quitting) would be the deciding factor.

Naturally No..! its the addiction of tobacco, and the mind set..of the WEAK minded and poorly educated, along with a hidden or subconscious desire to commit suicide that spurs these weak filth to continue this addiction, eventually blaming all and sundry for their impending death, but never never themselves

Yes Cannabis Does cause Cancer

He quit 30 years before he died from COPD. Which kind of kills that notion of if you quit your lungs will fully repair themselves.

 

[Kook]

probably no maybe

 

[mrcreosote]

I would and do because I smoke tobacco too. That said, I also make my cigs from natural grown pipe tobacco instead of smoking those chemical laden tailor made cigs.

If I thought I could get out of here alive, I might not smoke at all, but the chances of that are slim to none so I'll take what comes and enjoy myself in the meantime.

Porch settin and smoking both weeds are highly underrated activities. Grab yerself some unity with the Cosmos time. Worrying about that activity becoming a permanent state of affairs is a low priority with me.

I'll bet I'll make some dynamite compost.

 

[wodi]

No

 

[orev]

i'd probably do
although i am a tabbaco smoker

 

[amannamedtruth]

Nope.

 

[noyd666]

hell no.

God is shaking is head, what a pathetic question... CANNABIS KILLS CANCER, why would you consider condemning the holy plant? why are you wasting your time what iffing?

respect the sacred herb!
