Cancer From Bongs

12-02-2001, 12:20 PM

I heard a lil bit back that from using springers over a long term you can get lung cancer. I was just wondrin what everone elso thought about this.

I'm sure you all know what a springer is but for those that don't seeing as it maybe a melbourne slang i'll explain. A springer is a home made bong which is made by the traditional hose in the side of a bottle and a cone piece in the hose with the optional shotty but you fit a long plastic tube over the neck of the bing to make a longer neck and also make it harder to get splashed.

Do you have any information on how it would cause cancer, the mechanism that would induce a cancerous growth? And what types of cancer?

Thanks

I don't see how that would cause cancer anymore than smoking any other way would, which marijuana has never been linked to cancer.

?????why would a bong cause cancer only when smoking pot?????

HappyMan · 12-03-2001, 02:42 PM

the method of use, the bong, would not cause cancer anymore than other smoking methods. I think this is another Marijuana myth.

This is slightly off topic, but I don't think cannabis causing cancer is that unprobable. The reason that no cancer has been linked to it is that many people who have been smoking weed for the last 30-40 probably also smoked cigarettes. However, when you consider that many smokers have several cigarettes per day, that is considerably more smoke than almost all marijuana smokers would inhale, so it's not likely to cause cancer. I wouldn't go saying it is impossible though. Smoke is never good for the lungs.

Good point BD. I know that it is very probable that marijuana can cause cancer, but I also know that there has never been any substantial evidence. If it does, the risk is a lot lower than with tobacco.

Here is one of my favorites, when some scientists in Madrid discovered what the USA has tried to cover up since '74.

I mean with all those people LIVING instead of dying, the acturial tables would be thrown off, the insurance business on which the stock market is balanced would lose money and we'd be in a recession... Oh yes...we are in a recession...

So I guess it's okay to give you this link to:
