Not enough information in this survey. One joint can be potent enough for 1-6 people depending on the size and potency. Way too much wiggle room for an accurate result.
To: Aussie Dasher
specially rolled joints of cannabis leaves and resin Pot smokers don't add resin to joints. This study was flawed from the get go.

Smoking three cannabis joints will cause you to inhale the same amount of toxic chemicals as a whole packet of cigarettes But it'll get you way higher.

They obviously tried to get the highest (ha) results as possible. I can only wonder how big those joints they tested were. Cheech and Chong size, probably.

SMOKING three cannabis joints will cause you to inhale the same amount of toxic chemicals as a whole packet of cigarettes, according to research published in France today.Oh, but dope toxins are good for you. Just ask FR's resident dope fan club.

And pot smokers probably absorb far more of the harmful chemicals, too. I've never seen a cigarette smoker hold the smoke in his lungs until his face turned red.

"Researchers seem to have lost interest in one once-promising use of marijuana - to treat glaucoma. They discovered early on that marijuana reduced the intraocular pressure resulting from this potentially blinding disease. However, the treatment never caught on with more than a handful of patients;
to keep pressure down, marijuana must be taken every two to four hours, and patients didnt like being high continuously. Also, many new drugs work well, with minimal side effects."

"...its well known that smoking marijuana can reduce pressure within the eye, a hallmark of the disease. But the drug may also reduce the blood supply to the optic nerve - the last thing a glaucoma sufferer needs - and it doesnt seem to prevent blindness. Even if marijuana could save eyes, smoking it enough would take extraordinary effort. In order to substantially reduce eye pressure, says Dr. Harry Quigley of John Hopkins Universitys Wilmer Eye Institute, youd have to be stoned all the time."

No one has ever proved that anyone has ever dies from using cannabis in the history of the world.No one has ever died from a black widow spider bite, either. Plenty of people, however, have died from complications caused by a black widow spider bite.

"If I want to come home from a long day's work & get drunk, high, eat candy - or just lay on the couch & watch TV - who's business is it to anyone else?"Well, alicewonders, it turns out that people don't do that. They're out and about doing drugs, and 1.5 million of them are arrested every year.

The marijuana spontaneously cures any side effects form the toxins.

For now, let's just forget about pot as medicine - I prefer it's use for recreation & relaxation. Why should that be a problem?
To: randog
And nobody ever dies from speeding. You see, the sudden stops are a different matter.

Either you can't spell or you don't know how to use the spellcheck feature.
To: robertpaulsen
Ah yes, there will always be those that get out of line & mess it up for the rest of us. Maybe we should just concern ourselves with those people & leave the other non-troublemakers alone?
