Is there any evidence that pot smoking is anywhere near as bad for you as tobacco? Seems a bit ridiculous.If you smoked as much of it as the average tobacco smoker it sure would be.
Imagine being a two pack a day marajuana smoker.
We need some volunteers for a longitudinal study to explore this vital research topic. Maybe get some grants from the government as well. I think two to three decades worth would suffice. LOL!
That’s exactly what we need because quite often the results from more basic studies using animal models or looking at underlying changes in humans that you would think should lead to predictable health outcomes don’t.
There must be plenty of people out there who have been smoking pot frequently for decades, I know i can think of a few off the top of my head, and it's not like I'm associating regularly with people likely to fall into that category.
It would be nice to know the dose-response relationship too. Maybe it's like alcohol, where a little bit is pretty much harmless (or even beneficial) but a lot will absolutely wreck your health. Or maybe a little is dangerous, or maybe a lot isn't. No one knows until its studied.
