“The slight lung damage from smoking “

You’ve never been around dope smokers. I remember my roommates coughing up blood. Of course, they smoked from dawn to bed time.

“You’ve never been around dope smokers. I remember my roommates coughing up blood. Of course, they smoked from dawn to bed time.”

Most likely from contaminated pot or mixing with tobacco. I knew a fella who got pneumonia from smoking slightly moldy pot.

I know people that chain smoke the high grade stuff like some people smoke cigarettes. Some in California for decades. They don’t touch tobacco at all. None have lung issues and several are former athletes still in top condition.

The people I know with the worst lungs are those who mixed it with tobacco for years. If you put both in a pipe, it forms a gunk that sticks to everything and can’t be removed with a single solvent. IMO, it’s due to the mixing of polar and non-polar tars. 1+ pack a day tobacco smokers are almost as bad.

Puff-for-puff there is no way pure pot is more damaging than tobacco. From what I’ve seen over tobacco is far worse and several studies have backed that up. And tobacco isn’t even that bad unless you consume more than 1/2 a pack a day or have a family history of cancer.
