No more so than lightly burning your skin with a lighter. The pain and injury is gone within seconds. You are making reaching claims now. It has been shown that smoking marijuana really isn't as bad as you think it is for your lungs, yet you refuse to acknowledge this point.
And you continue to refuse to admit that it doesn't kill brain cells.
I really don't care what your stance on marijuana is. You keep pushing anti-pot propaganda like it is still factual material. I care about people pushing lies as truth. That is why I keep posting studies debunking you.

Smoke is bad for your lungs whether you choose to admit it or not. You know that black sticky stuff that you scrape out of your pipe when you clean it? Yeah well your lungs are coated in it. You actually believe that it just disappears within seconds? You may need to cut back a little my friend.
Because it does kill brain cells. It also causes mild paranoia and anxiety just so you know. Some studies have suggested that it lowers testosterone and reduces sperm count as well. Chronic use could lead to gynecomastia, which is basically Man boobs, or bitch tit. This is due to the high amounts of phytoestrogens in Cannabis.
Yeah right, only in your confused little misled mind are you debunking me. And I don't need to consider your doctored fabrications that are motivated by the legalize dope movement. Don't be lazy just grow your own, it's not that difficult. ~$heopleNation

THC actually promotes neurogenesis..so there goes your whole 'kills' brain cells argument.
The worst part about smoking is the smoke itself...nothing to do with cannabis. You can vaporize or consume it orally so that you don't harm your lungs. Even then though, our lungs regularly cleanse themselves so the little bit of gunk is removed.

That stuff comes out of your lungs rather quickly.
As for your points about lowered sperm count? So what? Your sperm goes RIGHT back up once you aren't smoking. It's not like you don't produce more. Stop dredging up useless points to try to show that marijuana is mildly bad for you in order to reinforce your false claims of it killing brain cells and being bad for your lungs.
HAHA! Sheople indeed. Keep buying into that government propaganda. I find it so hilarious that you are straight up becoming a science denialist because you are so brainwashed by the Reefer Madness government propaganda that you can't shake these beliefs. Open your mind a bit buddy. You are becoming a mirror of your screen name.

Hey Krazysh0t? To be fair to you, I did find this study. ~$heopleNation
Cannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis.....

So what? Sounds like you didn't even read it.
Which one, and what was discredited? ~$heopleNation

That means your study is out of date. New information has come to light that is more accurate than your study. That's how science works. When new information comes around, you discard the old information.

I knew you would not answer the question because you didn't read it. Oh and it's not my study. Hey? I am a big Carl Sagan fan too, but I could care less if smoking dope enlightened his perception of art. ~$heopleNation

I absolutely agree about the effects concerning psychedelics, there is no doubt about that whatsoever. They seem to tap into a part of the human mind that is not normally accessed. ~$heopleNation

Well I appreciate your recognizing that. Honestly, I think at this point I'm a bigger believer in those than weed...but, weed is gaining public support, and we are not there with psychedelics yet...the public is still grossly misinformed about them.

Weed is smoked not just by the poor but by the rich as well. Many successful musicians use it on the daily. Like the study said, other factors are a lot more important in the grand scheme of things. THC doesn't ruin lives.

My IQ is over 130 .....just saying...and if anyone has a reasonable IQ they will be able to put 2+2 together.
So does your IQ stay the same when you're under the influence, or should we remove the 0, temporarily of course? ~$heopleNation
Who cares what happens to your IQ when you smoke if it is only temporary?
originally posted by: OccamsRazor04The question is whether it is temporary or not. Some studies suggest there is a permanent effect. It's correlational at this point though.

Is a presentation / debate probable cause for a warrant to search a house? Doubt the police care about the law but maybe there is no case that will hold up for court.

I'm sure that's what the interrogation was about, getting what they need. My guess is it took about 4 seconds.
