The smoke is not as bad for you as the smokes from other things though, like pollution and cigarettes. I'm not saying that the smoke doesn't damage the lungs but did you know that there is evidence to suggest that marijuana can help asthma? Wouldn't it be nice if we could do studies to compare the effects on the lungs of smoking cigarettes and smoking pot? Or to determine if it *does* help asthma?I don't enjoy pot; I just don't believe Refer Madness. Marijuana use for medical and research purposes should be legal, just like cocaine and morphine and if I remember correctly, heroin.

I am not going to say smoking Marijuana is safe but I will say that there has been no link to Marijuana smoking causing cancer. There has actually been a study that showed Cigarette Smokers that smoke Marijuana actually had a lower chance of getting Lung cancer.

I too am an SSRI victim in every sense of the word but I do not hold that against the Docs, instead I see pharma as the major obstacle in this. They are the ones who come and wine/dine the Docs swearing that their new and very expensive meds will make us better, dole out samples, give out some pretty neat toys, and go on their merry way making a ton of money along the way. In the meantime they have NO clue what they are even trying to treat, what causes it, or what could possibly alleviate the symptoms so they play chemist until the get a drug with a 50% success rate (i wonder if anyone even checks their statistical methods as you can manipulate that so much) and then call it the next new wonder drug. Meanwhile the Docs are trying to help us out but alot are blinded by this bait and wind up playing guess and test with us until nothing works and we are more screwed. I put my foot down along time ago and said I would only take Lithium - antiquated yes, effective yes, cheap yes, side effects minimal. I am so glad I did that because the guess and test was destroying my body.

maybe they should just throw a 250% tax increase on them instead

This has to be some of the best news I have heard all day! Medical Marijuana users like myself should not have to worry about taking our own medicine. If you really want to get involved check out <a class="user" href="http://mmjsearch.com">http://mmjsearch.com</a> where you can find out many sources.

Although I believe the psychiatric industry harms way more people than it helps (look at any school shooting in the last 2 decades and the meds the kids were on, or withdrawing from - an obvious pattern emerges), at least if they are going to try to drug every kid they can, using natural drug that's guaranteed not to kill you (and make you kill twelve of your classmates) plus may just help fight cancer in the process isn't a bad option.

It would be an amazing thing if the politicians actually listened to the people. If we put full legalization to a popular vote, it would easily win (in MA we decriminalized up to an ounce with only a $100 fine. It passed with 66% voting yes - that HUGE!) The punishment should fit the (non) crime. There aren't many lives destroyed by pot, but plenty of lives destroyed by the DEA.

Living in a major city is much worse for your lungs than vaping a little bud, even on a daily basis. In fact, research shows that THC has powerful anti-tumor properties, specifically (ironically) lung cancer. Now I agree that smoking it would be foolish in the pursuit of health, but either eating or vaporizing pulls the rug out from the "it's bad for you" argument. Considering 100,000 American die from patent prescription drugs every year, I'll take a drug whose worst side effects are giggles and munchies. Hell, people in cities should be prescribed bud to vape just to counteract the constant pollution attack their lungs must endure.
