ppl who smoke cigarettes are flooded with the side effects all the time and they aren't affected.

it's not likely that ppl who smoke weed are going to be affected by this news either.

Originally posted by Spam No clue, just saw the couple of articles pop up today on a couple of front-pages. The story is amusing to me, because I've been researching this for off and on for years. Back in 2000 they said that smoking a joint was like smoking 4-5 cigarettes, and that you were MORE likely to get lung cancer from marijuana, one of the researches also concluded it was likely because THC inhibited your cancer-killing cells or some such. Link to 2000 article Then in 2006, they concluded in a study that smoking marijuana posed no increased risk of lung cancer. And the researcher there concluded it was because THC inhibits cancer cells. Link to 2006 Study Now, based on a test on 79 people, they're concluding that smoking 2 joints a day for 10 years means you're 5.7 times more likely to get lung cancer, and that one joint is like smoking 20 (yes, TWENTY) cigarettes. Link to Toronto Star article 2008 While I have no doubts that smoking anything can cause health problems, it's very hard to give ANY study real credit when they're continuously release conflicting results.

i dont think 79 people is a big enough sample size

for high end ones, like the Volcano, yeah...but you can get much cheaper ones for as little as $50-70 and decent ones for ~$200.

hell, you can ghetto construct your own using glass tubing for $10, tops, if you have a heat source like a gas stove.

it's so much more efficient, in terms of quantity of pot used...and it's not harsh on your lungs at all. tastes good too

Ya, but you can still get a lungful of cough!!! LOL

The first time I tried a vap (a real nice one, table-top, plugs in) I took as big a lungful as I could (being under the impression that there's no harshness) and ya... I coughed a lot a bit... hehehe.

It should probably also be noted that if you get shitty china-bud, you're better off smoking it with a pipe/bong/joint, because you are NOT getting even mildly buzzed off a vap if the weed isn't at least 'acceptable' quality. Then again, if you're investing in a vapourizer to begin with, you probably have a decent connection for bud.
