let's see here:

YOu can:

Get cancer from the sun
from the various toxins in the air
from smoking both cannabis and
from the aluminum foil used to pack sandwiches to keep them fresh
become infertile because of:
keeping your cellphone close to your testicles (trouserpockets)
from any kind of wireless utility
from breathing the same polluted air that causes cancer
from bad substances in some foodstuffs
from drinking to much



feeuw, im happy i dont think about that all the time, else i'd be in a corner sobbing about my health 24/24 7/7

cmonnnnnnn everybody, weed doesnt cause cancer. 90 percent of cancer caused from cigs is because of radioactive materials that its grown with. Plus, THC naturally eliminates the production of enzymes and shit that promote cancer growth in the lungs. They drug war just says shit about how weeds got more tar then cigs, but tar doesn't even cause the cancer 90 percent of the time, so dont buy into that shit.

We all gotta die somehow.

And weed does cause cancer, since it contains carcinogens. But as most people don't smoke 10-20 joints a day like most tobacco addicts do cigs, the risk is smaller.

Yeah, lots of things have carcinogins though. No ones ever got lung cancer from weed. At least I've never been able to find an example of it.

I don't really worry about cancer...I prefer to not think that far ahead in the future.

I'm probably high risk for cancer because I am a heavy cig and weed smoker. I cough up brown shit off my lungs all the time.

But yeah I'd rather just enjoy whatever part of life there is to enjoy without constantly worrying about whats gonna happen down the road. I'll deal with it when and if it happens.

I want to still be toking when i'm 80. I'll have a huge grow op on a 50-acre farm, and spend warm summer days prancing through fields of marijuana.

Well, odds are I probably will get cancer, I mean, those joints can be pretty rough on the lungs, but if it gets pretty bad, who knows? they might prescribe me medicinal marijuana use, and god knows, that'd make the cancer alllll better.

not at all, cannabis is 9 times as carcinogenic as a cigarette of comparable weight.

so smoking 2 joints is like, in terms of cancers, smoking 18 really fat cigarettes

there was an experiment done in puerto rico where they comapred the lung compacity of cig smokers to the lung compacity of cig smoker who also smoke weed and the cig/weed smokers had a better lung capacity. i still think cigs are worse for you than joints. try to hit a grit like you do a cig and you'll throw up.

My dads been recently diagnosed with lung cancer so i guess that means im at high risk. I dont give a fuck about either though, my dad was a wanker and i don't want to live to the age where im drooling in my chair watching daytime TV.

Funnily enough this topic should be here. My mams best friend's husband died this morning of cancer. A few weeks ago he was told he only had weeks to live so it was expected. But it was only diagnosed about a month ago. The worst thing is that Dennis (the person who died) was emitted to a hospice last night because it was very apparant that he had a matter of hours left, so his 2 children drove last night from their houses to wear their parents live but only his daughter managed to say bye to her dad, his son didnt get their till 10 minutes after he died :(

yeh im my line of family, i think my mums mum died before the age i reached already i.e. 26 ish, as for my spic side, which i beleive is stonger in my bidy, there have been nuemours health problems, like my dad has diabietes and my uncle had had two bouts of cancer to his throat i think, tho he has contued t smoke like a idiot.

anyway i am more phsycially like my father mentaly so i would assum ei have the same risks as him and his brothers. the only piositve thing i can take is that all of his brothers (they were 5 men in total) have lived to good ages despite their various illnesses, my unlce sebatsian died whilst i was here last time in 2001, yes e had cancer but he was 72.

to be honest tho i have my concerns as it doesnt take agenius to work out that smoking j's with a roach is far far wosre for you than smoking cigs with filters. yes cigs have muc much more chemcials asa whole but the amount of carcigens from a normal jay with anormal roach is far worse.

this why now i am more determind than ever to get a vaporizer and make myself use it and stop burning shit completely.

i would lovee to be around till ages like my dad and his brothersl ike 60s and 70s but if i do reach that age i dont wanan be diatbetic or ful lof disease, but i guess it just happens doesnt it sometimes.

stil yeh, it so purely forhealth reasons that i am getting a vporizer, and yeh stopping burning compleltely.

If I die, I'll at least know what I died from. That's all I need to know, and that I had an awesome time.
