Marijuana Smoking VS Tobacco Smoking

[whiskeyjack]

Im sure if you smoke as much pot as me you have wondered this many times before, who has it worse? me smoking lots of herb or that guy smoking tobacco???
I just want to say this

"No Shit smoking anything is bad for your lungs"

But what is worse in your opinion? marijuana, or tobacco smoke

I quit smoking for the last 5 weeks cause i didnt want to risk taking weed on an international flight, and since then ive noticed a difference in my lungs. They dont hurt sometimes when i breath, and i stopped horking out that flem from possibly the bronchitis i may have had .... But now my lungs feel great, so obviously i wasnt suffering from cancer... Cause i never had a smokers cough, coughed blood or felt a pain by my liver, etc....

Heres my stab at the conspiracy

Ive read in many places that there is 3 times as much tar in marijuana smoke then tobacco, and yes i agree that there is more tar in marijuana smoke but not 3 times more (300%) ... Ive read from most sites its 33% more tar in marijuana smoke, which to me could have caused the myth of 3 times more.... For me (In my mind 100% = x1)... And yes my pipe has alot of tar in it, and 33% more tar in my bud would account for that, and account for the tar in my joint that doesnt have a real filter)

Im not 100% sure on the cancer effects marijuana has on the body, but i know people who suffer from cancer for many years get marijuana prescribed to them to treat it, and my old man when he was almost dead from leukemia was given marijuana also. BUT whiskeyjack they give people morphine and thats bad for you, and thats like heroin....yea but thats after the heroin passes through the kidneys and i think people have died of morphine overdoses...

Now what about this tar, it causes cancer YOUR WRONG WHISKEYJACK... Well riddle me this why are all these people dying from smoking filtered cigarettes??? I have a conspiracy, Radiation... You know all that rich phosphate fertilizer we use to grow our tobacco plants has alot of radium in it because the phosphate is mined and it could be possible that higher amounts of radioactive trace elements may be present in the rock. (Ex. some granites have a very weak radioactive pottasium element in it). Well that radium is also present in the soil, and when the radium halflifes it halflifes into elements like lead-220 and polonium 210 that are still radioactive in there own right and these in turn get absorbed by the plants.... (I hope not broccolli and raspberries also )... Mabye thats why they find higher concentrations of these elements in the lungs of smokers, and we all know that radiation causes cancer...

Could it be that the tobacco companies that line the pockets of the senators in america, are using there influence to get america tough in its drug war against marijuana? Mabye people are prefferring to smoke weed instead of cigarettes and that is cutting there profits?

what are you opinions, id preffer to hear actual experiences from short and long term users, not the opinions of 16 year olds who wikipedia everything and dream of the hollywood lifestyle...

I used to smoke marijuana a lot (every day) during my high school times. I have been smoking cigarettes since i was 15. You could build a highway out of my lungs, lol.
I stopped smoking weed a couple of years ago. Believe it or not, i dont like the effect of it.
I dont know whats worse, but i would go with cigarettes since the tobacco companies add over 200 (!) chemical additives to the tobacco they buy of which many can cause cancer.
A friend of mine worked for Philip Morris for a while and he enlightened me. They put stuff in there, so the cigarettes will keep burning and you smoke more and spend more $. I started rolling cigarettes 1 year ago and the tobacco i use has no additives. The cigarettes actually go out when i dont take a hit.
Put a filter cigarette under a UV light lamp and you will see what i mean. You will see traces of the chemicals they spray on there. Depending on which brand of cigarette you smoke of course.
Now if you smoke bong thats a bit different. That is like a sledge hammer on your lungs. I read somewhere that a hit from the bong is like one pack of cigarettes.

This is what happens to your lungs when you smoke ciggies, BLACK TAAAAAAAR:



Marijuana is goood, and so are ciggies but hell you wanna become this by the time you reach 18 go ahead and smoke away:

[get0asian]

ITs just the amount you smoke that makes Tobacco so much worse
Weed is not addicting but of course cigarettes are
you smoke weed once in a while but you smoke cigarettes every break you can get
compare a session or two of weed a day to packs of cigarettes a day
a lotta people smoke a lot of weed and get tolerant to it so they stop for a while to lower there tolerance but you never take a break from smoking cigarettes

[alexalonso]

if you vaporize marijuana, ou dont get as much of the carcinigens going into your lungs, you inhale the THC if your vaporizer is set to the correct temp. All the other crap stays on the device

[whiskeyjack]

vapourizers where i live are pricey, but your on point, that and they make your weed last longer

bong water, seems to pick up the heavier stuff and tar from the weed smoke? DO you think that if people cant afford vapourizers, the bong could be a alternative for those who are health concious?

Wow I was told the complete opposite lol someone told me a bong was better to use because most of the tar stays in it.

Vaporisers are the way to go if your health concious good ones are pricey but worth saving your lungs right? lol Tobacco is nasty you get a cheap head rush that doesnt last long and that stuff is full of all kinds of nasty shiiiz that tar your lung up bad and quick so it's a no brainer.

Yeah I heard that Vaporizers were the way to go for the health conscious pothead lol when I was younger we used to smoke out of cans and I was told that was really bad to do because of all the chemicals the cans are made of or something.

[whiskeyjack]

lol i used to smoke dope out of a pop can too. Thats hilarious...

My favourite is the gravity bong. Turn a pop cap into a bowl cut the bottam of the 2 litre out, light up the bowl with the weed in it pull the bong out and away you go...

[TCC19]

LOL the first time I ever smoked weed it was from a gravity bong I was like 14 or 15 years old I thought I was gonna die I laid out on the back lawn coughing my lungs out for like 5 minutes but after that I was floatin

[barbara789]

I haven't tried weed and don't really plan to. I did however start smoking several months ago and ended up smoking about 1-2 packs a day, and I was always smoking strong shit like Marlboro or Davidoff. Before I came to Toronto in September, I was coughing like a motherfucker. It was a dry cough and I did cough out mucus and shit whatever the fuck that was.

I came here and cough syrups, anti-biotics and x-rays kinda helped...still cough from time to time, at least it's not a cronic cough.

[tharuler314]

To quote the homie Nate D.O. Double G "Yeaaah Yeaaah Smoke Weed Everyday"!!!!! Me personally cigarettes just never did anything for me to the point where I've constantly have had to have a pack a day. As for as that dro goes I don't see how you can go wrong from kush 2 reggie just smoke it you!!! LOL

[whiskeyjack]

i heard that smoking weed from a pop can, and or metal pipe with a metal screen can make you run the rsik of developing alzhimers

vapourizers where i live are pricey, but your on point, that and they make your weed last longer

bong water, seems to pick up the heavier stuff and tar from the weed smoke? DO you think that if people cant afford vapourizers, the bong could be a alternative for those who are health concious?

you could get a good vaporizer for $100. Imagine how much money you would spend on blunts in one year.

Here in Finland gravity bong is called "älyämpäri" or "kyykkä". Älyämpäri means basically a "brain-bucket" or "brainiac bucket" as the most common way to built a gravity bong is from a big plastic bottle and a bucket. Kyykkä is "squat" like "should we go squatting?". Both terms tells pretty much about the gravity bong, I think

Vaporizers are also pretty easy to make by yourself. We used to do those with my brother when we were younger, but I don't like vaporizers that much... I want to feel and taste the smoke and not just inhale some steam.

if I had a MM card and really had to toke to relieve pain I would get a vaporizer or nice bong but if I'm tryin to kick back n enjoy it I'll always roll a blunt or j. And I was never into pipes but apparently smoking through a piece keeps you away from the shit in rolling papers n swishers.

alonso smokes ?

[Scooby318]

Tons of toxins added to commercial cigarettes. I had to put down Newports a few years ago.

[FAVELA9]

alonso have you INHALED BEFORE ?

[Quepolo3]

When you talk about vaporizors are you talking about those things that vicks cough medicine company makes that you add water? Where do you get them from?

[ViciousRidah]

I don't smoke, but who here has started messing with those electronic cigarette with the blue/red/yellow/green vapor?You can actually keep the cig stick too, I think these things come in cartridges.

weed>tobacco. cigarettes cause cancer and cannabis is known to have cancer killing properties. Cigarettes kill around 5.4 million people a year. Since the beginning of time weed has killed NO ONE EVER. Not one death. Smoking anything is bad for you but if you vaporize it's more healthier. If you eat weed in edibles such as brownies, cookies, or anything else it will have zero effect on you respiratory system. Fact: one of the reasons weed is illegal is that in the 1920's blacks and Mexicans smoked weed and had a good time, white supremacists at the time did not like that so they blamed weed and said stuff like “Marihuana influenced negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows, and look at a white woman twice.” —Hearst Newspapers"

here's
a few more quotes that are racist and of course were made to make marijuana look horrible even though it's safer than beef, tobacco, and even safer than caffeine.

“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.”

“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”

“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”

“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”

“Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing”

“You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”

“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”

I know you didn't ask about all this history but someone reading it will learn something.

[slickstreet]

haha I meant safer than beer not beef, But I wouldn't doubt it if weed is safer than beef too.

[alexalonso]

alonso smokes ?

No I dont smoke, never have, but I know that vaporizing keeps alot of that chemicals out of your lungs.

Anyone smoking Newports is asking for an early checkout.
