Law Forum : Feds Targetting New Pot Laws

[Kemetstry]

Can't argue with your friend, but just wondering if you ever did any research about those saying the opposite? It might be interesting for you, hearing first hand from a friend, to see what other people who are supposedly researching the exact same thing came up with.

He's in the field. I trust his research and logic. And think about it. If pot generates more tars and carcenogens, it's only naturall that similar cancers would result. That isnt rocket science

No, the industry was/is looking into pot production if it is legalized

IF it did, I would agree that logically that's where smoking would lead. I wanted the proof of that, is all. That weed has tar, yes, I have heard. It is produced from lighting and inhaling. But I heard that it was LESS destructive, with like 30 percent or so of the tar that tobacco has. I also have heard that there is no way you can get lung cancer from weed alone (or at least, in the history of lighting up, there is no documented instance.)

I'm not going to get too far into how many people personally are known to me, as I can't prove any of it, but I will say my Uncle is in his late 50s, been smoking since he was a teen and he LOOKS it from his yellowed fingers to his teeth, to his breath and from listening to him cough, his lungs. And here in sunny CA, most people smoke weed, and you could never tell. The smell doesn't last, the physical appearance doesn't change like that. It seems a lot less harmful. The immune system lowers from smoke as well, but yet again not quite lung cancer or harmful to the physical appearance.

Where would I research his research and how he acquired it exactly? I just have seriously heard the opposite my entire life (besides from the anti-weed commercials on TV), and most of my research has led to show me the opposite as well. Does the tobacco industry publish this online? I am not ratting on your friend, rather an industry that probably wouldn't like competition.

The ATF has many of the tobacco industry studies. Plus I'm sure other have done so too. I havent been into control substances since I worked for Parke-Davis
