holding smoke in your lungs (preventing breathing) will always cause brain damage. thats why you shouldnt hold the smoke in your lungs in for an extended period of time. but lots of stuff causes brain damage, so i could say anything was dangerous. its mostly the way you use it. Here's a thread relating to smoking and lungs. And here's one about brain damage. Here's another one bout brain damage. Greenmans response in this thread is a pretty good explanation too.

Peace

Without getting too off topic, a lot of the folks at the Shroomery are total morons, and I wouldn't consider their forums a really good place for that type of information. No drug, including marijuana, is without its risks. Honestly I think you should do a lot of research on what exactly you are putting into your body with sources on both sides of the issue. The truth is usually somewhere in between.

How come people who smoke pot all their life still manage to smoke pot when they're 80 years old?

I've been thinking about this too. I haven't tried marijuana yet. And I don't want to start smoking, it isn't very good for your lungs as you say, but if it's stoned you get, you can always mix THC in some food or something. That way you'll get rid of the smell, smoke and get high. But you will not feel and smell the taste of marijuana, which many people realy like.

You wont be able to get rid of all the things in life that are harmful, sh*t even breathing in a polluted city will hurt your lungs. Do infact read up on exactly what your putting in your body. Marijauana is less harmful than just about any other stimulant/depressent/hallucinagen and what have you.

I wont tell you It wont hurt you, and I wont tell you its all in good fun, because some people dont enjoy being on any kind of substance. Its totally up to you whether or not you want to smoke the refer. Just Know the consiquences.

But if you ask me, the killing brain cells thing is simple, Holding the smoke in for more than 5 seconds is not gonna get you higher, its only going to deprive your brain of oxygen. Same as holding your breath under water, really...

Its not gonna work wonders for your lungs, because no foreign substance in your lungs is going to be good for you, But marijuana can be used to treat certain cases of asthma.
but if your that conscious on your lungs, and still want to smoke, buy a vaporzier or a bong. Or even better just eat it.

I hope I in some way helped you in your pursuit to find the right answer for you.

The choice is yours, and may the force be with you.

i didnt read all the posts but i tell you this:

The only problems i find in marijuana (and i have had huge ass talks about this with friends tokers and non tokers)

1. Short Term Memory Loss: Dont try to learn anything while high, there are huge chances you will forget about it. I have so has a bunch of my friends. Deadheads seem like they dont remember anything but thats because they are always high...see what i mean? you only loose STM when stoned besides that you are fine.

2. Time lost smoking: This is to me one of the major problems with smoking pot. Let say you decide to smoke early afternoon, then i'll tell you my friend for the next couple hours you are pretty much baked and you wont do anything besides eat and watch tv. So the time you "lost" smoking weed could have been used to something more productive like studing or talking with your gran pa'. Thats why i try to do everything i have to do like choirs and homework before i smoke because then i can smoke and dont feel guilty about it.

Besides those 2 there is the low sperm count, unless you are trying to knock up a girl you will produce less spermatozoids, but after a week out of week your balls will produce little guys like they have never seen weed

Thats all i can think of right now

oh yeah, marijuana also have nasty cancerigens(sp?) but dont worry about it breathing air does too

PS. Smoking pot is not a birth control method, but i wish it was

how can this marijuana can actually help in certain cases of asthma?

StonedBrad

I'm not sure on this one, but I think it has something to do with opening up the lungs a lot more than normal. I may be wrong, don't take my word as fact.

huh?

I think I saw that Mamabudz once posted that certain cannibinoids have been proven to act as bronchiodilators, and do open up your airways. But to me it would only make sense to use a vaporizer if you were gonna try and treat asthma with weed. The smoke factor has gotta do more damage than the bronchiodilator factor does good..
