Education & Reference New Study - Cannabis Not Harmful to Developing Brains

[little graham]

People I know have gone the other way. From smoking to vaping.

Vaping destroys all the chemicals in hydro, reducing alot of anxiety and moods. also uses about 30 percent less product for a longer smoother buzz.

According to Proponents of E-Cigarettes

• E- cigarettes produce far fewer carcinogens than traditional cigarettes. Traditional cigarettes contain between 4,000 and 7,000 harmful chemicals, many of which are produced by the tobacco and smoke. Since e-cigarettes use vapor technology, they expose users to fewer carcinogens.
• Some studies show e-cigarettes can be effective in smoking cessation. In multiple studies and surveys, e-cigarettes have been shown to potentially help smokers to reduce their habit or to quit altogether. One New Zealand study showed e-cigarettes to be as effective as nicotine patches.
• The second-hand effects are far less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Though second-hand vapor exists, the levels of smoke and second-hand effects of “vaping” are magnitudes lower than traditional smoking.
  They are more socially acceptable and do not smell. E-cigarettes provide the same experience and sensation for smokers – particularly those with nicotine habits – but can be used in far more places. They do not leave a sticky, unpleasant odor and do not stain teeth or fingernails.
• They are a cheaper alternative to smoking. While this has not been extensively researched, studies in the U.K. and the U.S. show that vaping habits can be up to 40 percent less expensive than cigarette smoking habits.

According to Those in Opposition of E-Cigarettes

• Nicotine is still an addictive drug. While not all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, most do. Nicotine impacts the neurotransmitters in the brain, causing addictive cravings and behavior.
• Electronic cigarettes still emit carcinogens. E-cigarettes use liquid nicotine, a highly dangerous substance even in small doses (far more dangerous than tobacco leaves themselves). Some testing suggests that some vaporizers release toxic metals during use.
• The industry is relatively unregulated. These products are not subject to FDA approval and, according to some experts, they have not been studied thoroughly enough to understand potential risks.
• There are potentially dangerous advertisements to young people. Studies have shown that e-cigarette ads reach more than 50 percent of 12 to 17-year-olds, and they are promoting addictive habits to young people.
• The act of smoking is habit-forming. Almost all experts agree that the physical activities associated with smoking are habit-forming, without the help of tobacco or nicotine. This makes arguments about e-cigarettes helping smokers quick seem flawed, and also could promote negative habits among previous non-smokers.

studies show its the implements you use, that cause the shit.

Brass pipes, have the opposite effect. Kills all toxins in what you're inhaling.

Potentially so, might ask my mum as she's a lung scientist. I think she said something similar

Your lungs will still take a severe beating though, which will lead to problems elsewhere

The vape is your friend

Ya can take these babies any ol' wheres

In August 2015, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) released a report on their website which stated, “Marijuana kills cancer”. Yes, you read that right – marijuana kills cancer.We know that cannabis can be used for medicinal purposes to relieve symptoms of many chronic illnesses. In fact, marijuana has actually been used for medicinal purposes for over 3000 years.

Washington, DCThe FDA has issued numerous public health advisories and black box warnings over the past several years about the increased risk of suicidality associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, but many doctors ignore them.

Criminals. Yet pot smokers get targeted.

 

[little graham]

Unfortunately I have to spell it out, i'm not to good at that. The same people who tell you pot is bad are the same people handing out anti depressants that are a lot bader and lie to you about it.They make lots of money from it.Pot doesn't cause suicide, but it does treat anxiety, cancer, epilepsy, severe pain and so on. Anti depressants treat nothing but your doctors and funeral directors bank balance.

To many people do not want to admit science is actually worse than religion (not that religion is good), they have their head stuck in the sand.

Lol, I love that Idiot Features reckons the FDA have been co-opted by "big pharma" and are part of various conspiracies, yet here he is providing them as a source

I've known people who have smoked pot for years and every single one has some form of mental disorder. Such a shame that pot is most likely going to be legalised in the near future. Our already pathetic production rates for a western country is going to go further down the drain when every second person is stoned off their face to work a proper job or to give a shit about anything other than "chilling".

That'd be the consequence of hangin' with thee
