- BobScratchit, on 02/08/2009, -11/+506Tumors get lazy when they are smoking pot.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -19/+378Cigarettes is legal and it causes lung cancer tumor growth. Marijuana is illegal and it cuts lung cancer tumor growth.
What the **** is wrong with this world?! - ImOnYourTeam, on 02/08/2009, -28/+300Smoke weed everyday
- primary0, on 02/08/2009, -22/+252no wonder the pharma-lords do not want it to be legalized
- p47plane, on 02/08/2009, -5/+210I was going to mestastasize...
but then I got high. - DrewPeacock, on 02/08/2009, -10/+153The title is misleading. The study shows that THC, not marijuana, reduces tumor growth. Smoking pot gives you a good dose of THC, but the smoke also contains a lot of carcinogenic chemicals.
Good article, though. - Zervaman, on 02/08/2009, -4/+141I was gonna travel to your lungs to make you die, but then I got high.
Now my growth's been cut in half and I know why.
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high. - kiesow567, on 02/08/2009, -9/+114can someone remind me, I'm having a real difficult time remembering . . .
WHY IS IT ILLEGAL? - the2989, on 02/08/2009, -0/+62"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
–Harry Anslinger - Virtualtaco, on 02/08/2009, -6/+65because you are having a difficult time remembering...
- Zervaman, on 02/08/2009, -2/+59Wait, didn't we already know this? Check out the UCLA marijuana study.
Using 3 groups, heavy cigarette smokers, heavy marijuana smokers, and nonsmokers, the study found that while cigarette smokers were 20x more likely to develop lung cancer (as expected), there was no noticeable difference between the pot smokers and the nonsmokers. And because marijuana smoke contains high levels of some carcinogens, the researchers postulated that the THC must have some tumor-fighting effect.
Well, at least their theory has been confirmed. Yay pot! - JROXZ, on 02/08/2009, -4/+59So... so far a healthy life style has been proven to be drinking lots of wine and smoking weed... I'll digg to that.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -28/+81legalize it
don't criticize it
legalize it yea-ah yea-ah
and I will advertise it - oceandead, on 02/08/2009, -5/+57Yeah, because there is no such thing as vaporizers and you surely cannot eat it.
- EASwanson, on 02/08/2009, -5/+55http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification
"The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy."
—John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States - BCPneumatics, on 02/08/2009, -2/+47The problem is mass hysteria takes a long, long, long time to overcome. How long did it take for us to get absinthe back again? 95 years it was outlawed, from 1912 until 2007.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -11/+54Not surprising. Many uniformed people go on to associate smoking marijuana with lung cancer just because cigarettes cause lung cancer. They are two completely different smokes with different properties; not to mention tobacco is grown with radioactive fertilizer and receives government subsidies. Check out this video; its very entertaining and extremely informative. A must see for ANY marijuana activist.
http://digg.com/business_finance/The_Union_The_Bus ... - melodeath666, on 02/08/2009, -15/+57Just before the trolls and idiots find this article, i want to mention
* ALL OF THE NEGATIVE FACTS YOU HEAR ABOUT MARIJUANA ARE FALSE! These are from government funded studies. The corporations want marijuana illegal only because they know it will replace half the things they profit from.
*Marijuana does NOT cause cancer
*The only harmful part of marijuana smoke is the smoke itself. Smoking ANYTHING is obviously not beneficial, but it's the simplest means of extracting THC (the active chemical in marijuana) used by many. Marijuana does not have to me smoked to be consumed.
*Comparing marijuana to cigarettes is like comparing hydrogen to toilet bowl cleaner. A cigarette is a bunch of harmful, radioactive chemicals along with tobacco and nicotine that people can become addicted to and die from. Marijuana is just a plant. A plant with THC that is impossible to become physical addicted to. Comparing marijuana to tobacco is more accurate, although it is nowhere near as amazing as marijuana.
*There are NO confirmed cases of marijuana related death. Period.
*Users of marijuana are very rarely violent and angry. It also does not hinder your ability to perform mentally or physically afterwards. Micheal Phelps; 'nuff said.
*Marijuana DOES NOT MAKE PEOPLE STUPID! The stupid people you see smoking weed were already and always will be stupid.
* Anyone who steals money, commits crimes or acts of violence and claims they are addicted to the drug is a total idiot.
Now let me simplify this. WHY THE ***** does anyone even smoke cigarettes? Do you think you are cool? They are nothing but harmful and addictive. The corporations are simply stealing your money using them. Marijuana is proven to help IMPROVE medical conditions, and can be vaporized or cooked with to eliminate any harm done while using it. Furthermore, it makes you feel amazing and helps you think much clearer. Sure you can't smoke it on your break during work or between classes, but who the ***** cares? You won't need to. It isn't addictive for ***** sake. Go to school, work, play sports, and at the end of the day come home and smoke a fat ass bowl. That is how life should be, and it is depressing to see all these sheep in the world believing anything the government throws at them.
YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. WAKE THE ***** UP.
If that isn't two cents i don't know what is. - EarlOfLade, on 02/08/2009, -0/+42Because of Mexican and Blacks who would rape white women if it was legal.
At least that was one of the excuses used to outlaw it by Anslinger & Co. - DrewPeacock, on 02/08/2009, -1/+37Moral of the story: buy a vaporizer.
- pcghost, on 02/08/2009, -0/+31What greater compliment could he pay to the plant to say it causes such things as jazz music and making women horny?
- TheR3dMenace, on 02/08/2009, -1/+29Who pissed in your corn flakes?
- Fruit45, on 02/08/2009, -1/+29Vaporize, people! I can't believe this method is still not mainstream.
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -6/+33duh! same goes for alcohol and tobacco; alcohol wants to control the intoxication industry and tobacco wants to control the smoking industry. these two industries and the pharmaceutical industry (THE most profitable domestic industry in the US) all lobby against Marijuana Law Reform. The US is no longer a country run by Americans, its a country run by corporations. corporations aren't americans, and they shouldn't be allowed into politics, PERIOD. we are just beginning to see an era of corporatism, a scary time for honest citizens....
- comas, on 02/08/2009, -2/+292007, people
- groo68, on 02/08/2009, -1/+25Industrial hemp contains less than .03% THC and therefore can not get you high. it is not a drug, and can not be used as one. I have not gotten high in over a year by the way, not that that would matter..
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -1/+25DuPont. Rather making biodegradable plastics from hemp, we get the plastics that last 10,000 years from DuPont.
If the desire to go "green" was as important as it's touted, legalization and mass cultivation of hemp would be the first step. As far as marijuana goes, I see no problems with it either. I've never been accosted by a stoned individual. I have had them beg me for another bag of chips.
Interesting that hemp production was practically mandated just 50 years ago. Now it's a danger to us and THE CHILDREN. - jh4rms, on 02/08/2009, -3/+27i do
- Garofoli, on 02/08/2009, -23/+45Okay. Now there is NOTHING refutable about Marijuana. It truly is a wonder plant.
- RandomGorilla, on 02/08/2009, -2/+24I was gonna get some lung tumors... but then I got high.
- the2989, on 02/08/2009, -2/+24Go away, scrapetrain. You're the stupid that is infecting our population.
- groo68, on 02/08/2009, -2/+24Sorry I tried to disprove your point and lesson the amount of irrational objection to hemp. I didn't realize you had so few brain cells.
- mattyboy555, on 02/08/2009, -2/+24Is there anything weed CAN'T do?
-lower cancer tumor growth
-makes sex better
-turns all your bad thoughts into good thought
-make delicious even more delicious
-makes stupid movies hilarious
- nintendo games become 100X more intense.
-reduces muscle/joint pain - Enjoikr3w, on 02/08/2009, -0/+19Actually, that is the reason why drugs are good.
- jh4rms, on 02/08/2009, -5/+23EXACTLY
- groo68, on 02/08/2009, -4/+21You all should write to your congressperson and ask that they reintroduce the Industrial Hemp Farming Act. Bring up the point that it could be as effective to the economy as the stimulus package promises to be. It's the first step too full legalization... but don't tell them that.
- HayString, on 02/08/2009, -3/+20Now I'm apoptosizing, and I know why..
- EhBlueDuck, on 02/08/2009, -2/+18You probably laughed at the idea of 'inflating your tires' too.
Nothing is going to 'magically' save the economy, does that mean we shouldn't do what we can?
"Industrial hemp has many uses, including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, health food, and fuel. It is one of the fastest growing biomasses known, and one of the earliest domesticated plants known. It also runs parallel with the "Green Future" objectives that are becoming increasingly popular. Hemp requires little to no pesticides, no herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces oxygen. Furthermore, hemp can be used to replace many potentially harmful products, such as tree paper (the processing of which uses bleaches and other toxic chemicals, and contributes to deforestation), cosmetics, and plastics, most of which are petroleum-based and do not decompose easily."

And it's still illegal thanks to bigots like you who would rather crack jokes about 'pipe dreams'. - 420buddah, on 02/08/2009, -4/+19"Everyday of my life..it's all I do. I don't give a *****!"
http://www.livevideo.com/video/7E52A6ACD7D046A79D2 ... - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -2/+16According to the Department of Redundancy Department?
- keithwired, on 02/08/2009, -0/+14Umm sorry dougie but you can't make "pure" pot with the carcinogens removed. The carcinogens are a result of pyrolysis (burning), I could roll up a completely harmless leaf from a tree and smoke it and I'm still getting carcinogens, it has nothing to do with what you are smoking, its smoking itself. The moral of the story as Drew said is to buy a vaporizer which bypasses the whole burning thing to begin with.
- snoogit, on 02/08/2009, -7/+21I'm sure this one hit Digg:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/08012 ...
lawls. - EarlOfLade, on 02/08/2009, -1/+14You don't?
- inactive, on 02/08/2009, -2/+15Hey genius.. it didn't say it caused cancer.. it said it can stimulate other types of cancer.. you really should read your own words so you don't contradict them like a moron does..
- Km4P, on 02/09/2009, -1/+14You see when the argument is put forth in such an eloquent manner I just can help but amend my stoner ways.
- enantiodromia, on 02/08/2009, -0/+13be careful, the words "Jury Nullification" spoken in court will create quite a commotion. make sure you are ready for it.
- lepetitmousse, on 02/09/2009, -0/+12http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/410436/bullous ...
your article grossly exagerated the link.
also if you look into the study further, you will find that is used a sample size of only ten people. - MechaFalcon, on 02/08/2009, -1/+13Which heavily deprived the monkeys of oxygen, leading to the brain damage the study talked about while failing to mention the part about suffocating the monkeys with smoke.
- realunderdog, on 02/09/2009, -1/+13"This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
–Harry Anslinger
I bet Harry Anslinger was a man of short stature...if you know what I mean. - inactive, on 02/08/2009, -3/+15pharmaceutical companies can only sell drugs they patent.....marijuana cannot be patented because its a plant (natural). one company synthesized THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and now sells it under the name marinol. side effects according to the company are increased appetite, dizziness, and increased humor (this is not a joke!). sounds like being high to me...
