But we know marijuana is harmful, only questions left is how harmful. Common since should tell you to avoid inhaling smoke of any kind.. Hence the natural instinct to cough when there is smoke.. It is something you have to learn/train your bodies natural instinct to ignore.. Most marijuana smokers consume a lot less cannabis than cigarette smokers consume tobacco, however the harmful effects of smoking marijuana should not be ignored. Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking... Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, like frequent acute chest illnesses, increased risk of lung infections, obstructed airways. Marijuana smoke contains three times the amount of tar found in tobacco smoke and 50 percent more carcinogens, it would seem logical to deduce that there is an increased risk of lung cancer for marijuana smokers. However, researchers have not been able to definitively prove such a link because their studies have not been able to adjust for tobacco smoking and other factors that might also increase the risk. Studies linking marijuana smoking to lung cancer have also been limited by selection bias and small sample size. For example, the participants in those studies may have been too young to have developed lung cancer yet. Even though researchers have yet to "prove" a link between smoking pot and lung cancer, regular smokers may want to consider the risk.

But you can die! Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Marijuana can cause the heart beat to increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, and can increase even more if other drugs are used at the same time.
Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.

What's amazing to me is that this thread is allowed to go on, but discussion of the future of the sim that brought us all together in the first place is quashed.

Even in the "lounge" area of the forum.

Truly the world turned upside down.

Mods, if you could be so kind to explain this to me, as I am all at sea about it, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, and one thing on the subject of this thread, as you get a bit older, all the passions about "hemp" (nudge nudge wink wink say no more) all seem a bit silly in the great scheme of life.
