So if a joint is 4x more harmful than a cig…why is it that tobacco users are still dying in great masses and marijuana users are not? I love how everything is backwards in this country.

4x more harmful than a cig in only some small aspects.

and im sure you believed everything the teachers, your parents, the police, and the government told you.

Intelligent means to think through the whole thing on your own, not repeat whats been ingrained in you…

Gotta love the “people that live in the cages they build for themselves….”

Thats a lie, cigs are way more harmful than pot . Putting a filter on a joint would just be a waste anyways.

The U.S.A. is in the process to patent a full spectrum THC and cannabinoid oral spray called Sativex. It’s currently in phase III/IIIb testing (the last rung). It’s already available in Canada and the U.K. If they can find a way…But they can’t stop our gardens.

zackryanperrow October 19, 2009 at 9:40 AM

the maan claims a joint is 4x more deadly then a normal cig… well a normal cig is fltered and a normal joint isnt….so if we filtered weed wud the results still be 4x as deadly… i doubt it

lynch02093 October 20, 2009 at 4:35 AM

weed is the miricle plant

Dannyboy1550 October 22, 2009 at 6:29 AM

Exactly the Pharma companies have a couple drugs such as Marinol. This THC drug Marinol costs the patient $1600 for 60 pills you could get so much marijuana for that cost.

ph33ric October 23, 2009 at 8:00 PM

also you cant patten or copy write a plant. so the big drug firms cant make money on it.

sholinandwutang October 26, 2009 at 8:23 PM

people are able to grow it themselves easily.
People could grow their own and not need to pay the government.
The government doesn’t like this, so they just say, if we can’t benefit from it, no one can.

ejbh3160 October 27, 2009 at 9:10 PM

wow… is sucking dick illegal in America then? ;-)

5tonyvvvv October 30, 2009 at 10:14 PM

very true,,suckin dick lol…tobacco and alcohol..and pharmasitcal drugs are far worse..

garthak2 November 3, 2009 at 3:35 AM

this is what i dont get… marijuana has been proven to stop the spread of cancer, and is one of the highest buying crops in the world if we(usa) legalized it they would be keeping the money out of the hands of criminals and makin LOTS of money in the progress, and also he said that he proved that cigs are way more harmful so wtf y doesnt our bitch ass government stop suckin dick and legalize it already jesuschrist

jimisinthebin November 3, 2009 at 8:24 AM

again its my fault too as my question wasnt clear at all

jimisinthebin November 5, 2009 at 7:04 AM

but is irrelevant for the orginally question i asked, i was using the blunt term to say how are these jst pot smokers smoking it, the doctor never said they are smoking it through a water bong or what? is i was confused in the way he comes across saying jst pot smokers have no extra chance of cancer and i wanted to know in this perspecfic study. i used the term blunt as an abbreviation. we are both wrong but only because u didnt understand the orginally question.

mptimoney November 7, 2009 at 4:51 AM

It isn’t irrelevant. Smoking cigar wrappers means inhaling nicotine and tobacco-specific nitrosamines. And outside of the UK, people don’t get crappy soapbar that needs to be mixed with tobacco to taste bearable. All I said was the statement “blunts are pure cannabis; and joints are mixed with tobacco” is false. In reality, cigar tobacco has more nicotine than cigarette tobacco; So depending on the circumstances, a blunt may expose the user to more nicotine and toxins than a 50/50 spliff.

jimisinthebin November 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM

look at your previous comment that true u didnt say mix, but for the purpose of my question what u been saying is irelevant. i cant believe this is what u meant. that amount of tobacco is non accountable the car fumes give u more than they will, u jst tried to be over smart when really you never knew the answer

mptimoney November 12, 2009 at 4:42 AM

I did not say that anyone mixes tobacco into a blunt. But a blunt wrapper is made of tobacco(cigar paper is tobacco!), so you are still inhaling tobacco smoke also. And believe it or not, rolling with tobacco is not very common in the USA; the typical joint does not contain tobacco here.

A9SecondSleeper November 15, 2009 at 1:10 AM

wtf did he just say? Did he say that tobacco has 4x more tar than marijuana? or that marijuana has 4x more tar than tobacco? I’ve rewatched it like 4 times

johnfactorial November 15, 2009 at 2:25 AM

No offense intended man, I could’ve been more constructive w/ the criticism, and I was watching while at work so that probably contributed to my attention span. Peace.
