Makes sense. Pot smokers usually take deeper drags of it and hold the stuff in their lungs as long as they can.

But would they care if staying stoned enough?

I was told that COPD never occurred in marijuana smokers and only tobacco can cause such lung damage.

I don't understand why people need to smoke weed.

Can't they just take it in pill form?

I usually get mine through cupcakes.

When you hold the smoke in your lungs for as long as you can for maximum effect, you get the maximum negative effect as well.

That’s only because some pot smokers develop schizophrenia so then they count for 2 or more.

How about vaping? No combustion products.

Marijuana is good....it’s government approved!!

Maybe more accurate to say emphysema more extensive in marijuana vs cigarette smokers.

Something remembers me that we knew this quite some time ago.

Further support for my position that medical research is running out of meaningful things to discover.

Picking your nose causes Altimeters? Really?

Sacrilege! False! Who funded this study? Heretics!

Bad genes are the biggest cause of it... If it’s in your family, don’t smoke anything and even after that... You still may get it.

So when are the billion dollar lawsuits to begin?

As a person who smoked 3-4 packs of cigarettes for 55 years and now has COPD as a result, I strongly urge anyone smoking anything to quit.

Yes, quit cold turkey. The first 3 or 4 days are hell as your body gets rid of the nicotine and other chemicals. But after that, the need to smoke is largely the habit haunting you. After 2 or 3 weeks the habit will begin to wane.

I sincerely wish I had done this sooner as that would have reduced the COPD.

Nicotine is a powerfully addictive drug. It has been 23 years since I smoked a cigarette and I still want one every day.

smoke is smoke

I’ve known a lot of potheads in my time and not one ever developed emphysema

I posted this comment on a gun owners’ board earlier:

As a doctor it hasn’t gone beyond my notice how many patients I’ve seen who smoke weed and have “asthma,” “chronic bronchitis,” or overt emphysema/COPD.

It’s an epidemic out there, and the NORML types have all been insisting for decades marijuana is GOOD for treating bronchitis, that it’s not harmful.

I heard that crap growing up between Florida and California and, from innumerable patients on vents, barrel-chested blue-bloaters and pink puffers begging for a nebulizer, steroids, a Zpak and a work note who smelled like a cannabis dispensary.

“But I don’t smoke, Doctor… well, some pot (herb, weed).”

yeah.

Pick your poison.

Some naysayer (doper probably) replied “you do you.” and a comment to the effect that reloading/handloading ammunition exposes us to lead toxicity.

Nonsense. That’s just lies from Big Ammo who doesn’t want us rolling our own.
