If you quit smoking but still occasionally smoke pot are you still unhealthy? -


I haven-t smoked cigarettes for a whole year, but I still occasionally smoke a little bit of pot. Am I still damaging my lungs? There are soooo many studies out there, but I can never tell who is doing the research and if the studies are biased? Anyone have any info that they know is accurate or websites they can direct me to? Thanks!
thats all a matter of opinion unless your a doctor....To me it-s nothing close to the damage cigarettes causes. and i even believe alchol is worse than pot it-s poison it changes people. people loose total control not on pot though i don-t think it-s healthy to smoke it but the only harm your doing to your lungs is the smoke and thc.
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years. Also, if the pot has been laced with anything you-re getting that as well along with any pesticides used by the growers. Marijuana use increases the heart rate as much as 50 percent, depending on the amount of THC. It can cause chest pain in people who have a poor blood supply to the heart - and it produces these effects more rapidly than tobacco smoke does
Don-t do it!!!
plz dont!
i had health 3 months ago, it reduces your life span and reduces the amount of blood going in your freaking head. so it damages your long and short term memory. i am not lieing i had to do a huge project about it. its very bad for your health. i have 2 friends and it totally ruined their lives. 1 got kicked out of high school becuz he got caught and the other is a freaking slacker. if i could find my usb i would give you the powerpoint with the bibliography.
better sorry than safe.
do the best for yourself, think about it i cant stop you damaging your health u can only stop yourself.
Your body is your temple. You choose what to use.
I might also smoke both? But i also know that any smoke can-t be good! Although it is a great tool or med for some cancer patients.
peace!
