Sometimes the obvious isn't obvious to some people.
Some day we’ll celebrate the creation of a risk-free society. And promptly be arrested for it.
From the ingredients in cigarettes, I would think cigarette smoke has far more bad chemicals than pot smoke?
Ha Ha
I'm a goner then. I had the great fortune of going to a ridiculous amount of rock concerts at the LA Forum when I was 12 and 13. My Dad's partner owned a luxury box for every event, including all the concerts. I saw The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, you name it. To this day there's a certain strain of pot that has a slightly bitter odor and when I catch a whiff of it I'm taken back to that first Jethro Tull concert in 1973 when a friend explained to me what that smell was that assaulted us as we walked up the ramp to the Forum. I was such a clean cut kid, but it wasn't possible to escape getting high from the smoke alone in that place.
“could damage your heart and blood vessels as much as secondhand cigarette smoke does, preliminary research suggests.”
Which is exactly none.
When I spit chaw on the ground I was told by a city dwelling pansy that I am damaging the ground water.
Except that secondhand smoke is a crock just like human-caused global warming!
10 years ago or more El Rushbo cited a WHO, World Health Organization study that was done in Europe to document the perils of secondhand smoke. What they found was that the full strength smoke inhaled by the smoker IS harmful.
But secondhand smoke is diluted so much when it reaches the bystander that, while the SMELL may be unpleasant, the actual physiological hazard is practically nil. So since the result of the study didn’t fit their agenda, they spiked the story, never published it and most people know nothing about it. What else is new for commie-libs?!
Of course Chem Trails are totally safe. :-)
Only safe ting to smoke is tires.
They are everywhere now (the pocket-sized kind that looks to be about the size of a thick marking pen).
My bro in law has one for liquid nicotine, and he now mixes his own flavors.
His last mix tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal.
‘That whiff of pot that drifts your way at a rock concert or outdoor event could damage your heart and blood vessels as much as secondhand cigarette smoke does,’
IE: Not at all! It has no effect on you, unless you have enough concentration to actually get a contact high.
More nanny state nonsense.
The study is flawed. A pot smoker will smoke one joint and that’s it the whole night. At least the ones I know. I do not find the pot smoke all that unpleasant.
Cigarette smokers tend to smoke one after another. Especially when drinking in a social setting. Cig smoke is off the scale unpleasant compared to pot.
My experience and my opion.
If the marijuana smoke is really secondhand, I think the grad studentwho had to smoke it and exhale into the rat cage for a half hour shoukd be studied.
I don’t smell pot often, but when I do I prefer that it not be second hand.
