Cannabis 'raises the risk of cancer and other killer diseases'

[pflw]

Cannabis damages the immune system, leaving the body open to diseases from pneumonia to cancer, research suggests.

In experiments, THC, the chemical behind the ‘high’ of cannabis fuelled the production of a flood of cells thought to weaken the body’s inbuilt defences.

The finding suggests that cannabis, the drug of choice for many Britons, increases vulnerability to breast, bladder, lung and other tumours, as well as bacterial infections such as Legionnaires disease.

Worryingly, skunk, the super-strength cannabis that is particularly popular, may be extra-damaging, due to its extra-high THC content.

Listen droogies, stick to beer

[Atheist Kaffir]

Yes. Beer(and other alcoholic beverages) in moderation have many benefits according to multiple studies conducted by the American Medical Association.

[zykron]

Yep.

And yet, people will smoke it anyways.

I don't get it. Cannabis also turns people into randomly clueless morons who forget that you exist. Example: I was supposed to meet up with an old buddy back in March... She broke her Facebook contact with her cousin, and then neither person would speak to me, ever again. I still never found out what happened, but they both smoke(d) it. Talk about a screwed-up family.

In fact, pretty much every person who I've ever seriously hung out with who smokes (smoked) it tuned me out or pushed me away suddenly one day, for no real reason, like I meant nothing to them, or was controlling them.

I don't give a shit: Screw cannabis, marijuana, and all their supporters. That shit fucks up your body and your brain.


Alcohol is another story....

OMG! Zyk is my hero! Congrats! This is the first "anti-weed" thread. Why do ppl submit to that shit DAILY? Granted it relaxes you, but it makes ya ditzy & unfocused. I feel like I'm living back in the 60's with everyone on dope, acid & LSD. I thought I was alone in the universe with this. -Kudos!

[DrFuckingPepper]

I agree.

Marijuana is a poisonous plant and not just the name of some drug that society has gotten used to hearing, and it destroys the Human Animal.

The only people who say it's safe are the Morons that smoke it or the Criminals who want to make money by selling it.

[Mr.5050]

....the Morons that smoke it....

GUILTY AS CHARGED I've smoked it for 15yrs and I've never had a negative experience. Each to their own.

[KillFrenzie]

Don't forget about drug induced psychosis lol. I already knew all this stuff cos I'm the professor of everything.

[Mr.5050]

I think a lot of drugs are capable of being used responsibly and not abused. Its all about personal choice, what works for one person might not for another Drugs were common place in the town I used to live in. I've seen people use coke, E's and speed on weekly basis and they lead a 'normal' life. I've also seen people get pissed up and cut each other up lol My friend was pissing blood because he drank too much. If they make a drug that is good for you, lemme know

Well as it just so happens, I have some real statistics right here in front of me. These are only for the state I live in but as you can imagine it's far worse nation wide.

Number of people in Florida who died with alcohol in their system in 2009: 4,046.
Number of people in Florida who died with from prescription drug use in 2009: 2,488.
Number of people in Florida who died from marijuana use in 2009: ZERO

*These statistics are from Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

@Zyk: perhaps your friend is just a fucking idiot.
@ The colored guy: Maybe you should just stick to Malt Liquor.

Side Note:
I've been very successful self employed for 13 years and physically I'm in better shape than 99% of the people who are currently reading this text. So I guess 30 years of marijuana smoking hasn't affected me in such a negative way....hmm go figure.
