Blah #1One cannabis joint causes as much damage to the lungs as five chain-smoked cigarettes, research has found.
Medical examinations of WEED users and cigarette enthusiasts found that WEED increased lung problems, including obstructed airways and hyperinflation.
Medical Research Institute of New Zealand studied a group of 339 volunteers aged 18 to 70. They were divided into four groups according to whether they smoked only WEED, only tobacco, both, or were non-smokers. Every volunteer was subjected to lung function tests and x-ray scans of their chests to see the amount of damage to their lungs and airways.
They claimed that the most important fining was that smoking a joint was about the same as rapidly smoking 3-5 cigarettes.
Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, as well. A new study from England suggests that even infrequent use could raise the small but real risk of serious mental illness by 40 percent!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The available evidence now suggests that cannabis is not as harmless as many people think," said Dr. Stanley Zammit. Dr Stanley is one of the authors of the study, as well as s lecturer in the department of psychological medicine at Cardiff University. Weed also increased the frequency of hallucinations, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, neuroses and suicidal tendencies.
The English scientists found a more disturbing fact about "heavy users" of pot, who use it daily or weekly. Their risk for psychosis jumped to a range of 50 percent to 200 percent.
Why is the government, and lobbyists around the world, trying to outlaw smoking tobacco and legalize WEED???
My personal view, which I admit is a little strange, is that governments like a "high" population. They like their citizens to be docile, dumb, listen to orders and be unconcerned about important issues.

First piece of advice, resize your header image =P I appreciate the idea behind it, but my resolution is 1280x768 and I can't see the start of your blog immediately. Plus, it breaks the layout of the template.
Interesting blog though overall. It definitely reads in a lot of ways like a blog should, an appreciable change from teenie boppers on MySpace or Xanga.
As for this post: I personally believe that we'll never know which is "better" for you. You can create a study nowadays on either to say whatever you want. I don't smoke anything but hookah, so I'm obviously biased, but neither will kill you any easier than alcohol will, so government regulations are useless.
Thanks for stopping by! =)
Well, first of all, Smoking anything isn't good for you, but it is the easiest and quickest way to get what you want and despite all the tales of cancer and death, people will do what they want as long as it is available.. even if it is illegal.
Secondly, the reason why pot is not legalized is because the government cannot control it. People are going to grow their own weed despite what the authorities say so why would they legalize it if they can't make money from it? Aside from that, there are probably multiple reasons for why it is not legalized. They probably think society will run ramped with the freedom to smoke marijuana but honestly, I don't think there would be more usage than there is now.
Great Blog!
I like the way you travel. Looks like you got all the essentials for a slight diversion to the eastern Congo. IC
I agree with ELTON. Alcohol (which is legal of course) causes soooo much more damage than any joint will do. I smell a bit of propaganda in that particular study. There are a plethora of serious issues out there that are not being focused on...
I'm completely and utterly happy with my impending psychosis. Who said that?
LOL...
Besos
Good post!
It is a paradox of the left (D or R), to want to legalize pot, and yet illegalize tobacco, transfats, "junk" food, Talk radio, and...well hell, I could go on for a long time.
You're right though, the nanny state mentality requires apathy, and mary jane is a good way to achieve that.
v. good post! I really like your writing style and summation.
