Lung Cancer: Why is there so much propoganda against smoking weed, like it leads to lung cancer

Why is there so much propoganda against smoking weed, like it leads to lung cancer?
the largest marijuana study, done by UCLA, concluded that weed does not lead to lung cancer, if anything it, helps prevent it. There is a chemical in weed that kills the dead cells responsible for cancer An approved UCLA-study says that a new chemical is preventing the spread of cancer. "One possible explanation for the new findings, he said, is that THC, a chemical in marijuana smoke, may encourage aging cells to die earlier and therefore be less likely to undergo cancerous transformation" srry for miswriting it earlier

The government wants you to stick to drugs that they tax. Like alcohol and prescription medicines.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY! dig for the truth..it's scary.
5 :
cancer has nothing to do with dead cells you dead head, its cells that grow out of hand. weed kills brain cells, as you demonstrated already.
6 :
Inhaling any type of smoke can lead to lung cancer, if doesn't matter the source. It can be cigs, weed, incense, whatever... If you inhale enough smoke you're at risk for cancer. And dead cells don't cause cancer... Mutated cells cause cancer.

Any kind of smoke in your lungs is toxic. Cancer patience use weed to kill the nausea.
8 :
Any kind of smoking can lead to lung cancer (its the burnt ash in your lungs) and no, there is no chemical in weed that kills oncogenes (those responsible for cancer). That is simply a tactic by the potheads who want to leagalize it. However, is it worse to smoke tobacco? It all depends on how much you smoke, and how well you try to maintain your body.

Weed does not physically harm someone, it mentally harms someone. When someone does pot, they do less for society. Weed renders you worthless to society. I have only one idea why potheads can't get it through their heads. Not realizing what pot actually does is like someone putting their hand in fire. "Hey! This isn't harmful! It's actually killing cells!" Sure, but you're still destroying your hand, rendering it useless to your body. And another thing, cancer isn't caused by dead cells, it's caused by the rapid growth of living cells. So a chemical in weed that kills cancer cells? That pretty much means all of the cells, buddy. You know why this is amazing? Because I'm 16 years old. How do I know all of this? Because I pay attention, learn, and don't do drugs. Now ask yourself, are you a stupid 20 year old who thinks pot is good for you, or are you a smart 16 year old who has a good head on his shoulders? UCLA, what a joke.

Look, it is simple, if the pharmaceutical companies cant control it, they make it illegal. They are the ultimate drug lords. Our politicians and lawyers and judges are in their pockets. It is that simple, Solution: Serve on a jury and find people with marajuana possession, trafficing, producing, etc.. innocent and proclaimate the laws are unconstitutional, and therefore unenforceable.

How healthy is it to inhale anything voluntarily other than oxygen? Smoking anything has been clinically proven to be bad from your health. So there is no propaganda. Pot heads all make the argument that Pot has medicinal properties, yet the act of smoking the stuff IS bad for you. This is of course addressing the masses, not the exceptions. You could smoke like a chimney for years and live to be a 100, odds are you won't, but look at George Burns, mind you he smoke Cigars and not cigarettes, still amazing. The problem is that he was a TOTAL RARITY. Don't smoke anything and you're better for it. I will agree with you FROM A HEALTH PERSPECTIVE ONLY that smoking pot, if you're going to smoke something, is about the best thing you can smoke. However, the fact that it can alter your senses is why no one should smoke the stuff. I think Iran could benefit from it, there is an exception for you. Too much of anything will cause you problems. So if you're going to smoke weed, at least keep it under control. Hopefully you'll leave it altogether some day.

Right on!!They do prescibe it to CANCER patients!!No one has ever went and killed some one smoking pot! The goverment should legalize it and you should be able to use it just like one is to use alchohol. Noone under the age of 21 ,no driving under the influence, and so on, as you may agree ALCOHOL has a worse affect on one than smoking pot! Even with cancer look at all the drunks who get liver cancer.
13 :
smoking weeds is bad because it will cause lung cancer and it may damaged your brain
14 :
Marijuana laws are a fraud. It is like getting a person to admit that he/she is wrong, but magnified by the arrogance of congress, and law enforcement.
