Study: SMOKING CANNABIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO LUNGS
By Patricia Reaney
LONDON (Reuters) - Smoking cannabis is not the harmless recreational activity it may seem because it can cause lung damage, researchers said Friday.
Regularly smoking three or four joints a week, even for less than six years, can impair lung function and rob the body of antioxidants that protect cells against damage that can lead to heart disease and cancer.
"Smoking cannabis on a regular basis actually depletes your lung of protective antioxidant substances...and this may have chronic long-term implications for young individuals," said Dr Sarah Nuttall of the University of Birmingham in central England.
In a small study involving 20 people aged 19 to 30, including non-smokers and those who smoked tobacco and cannabis, Nuttall and her team took blood samples, measured lung function and tested for antioxidant markers. She presented the finding at a meeting of the British Thoracic Society in London.
"We found that smokers, compared to non-smokers, had impaired lung function," Nuttall said in an interview.
Cannabis smokers also had significantly lower levels of a protective antioxidant and nitric oxide, which is involved in lung function, than non-smokers.
"These findings are important in young individuals in which the use of cannabis is increasing and may have serious long-term implications for what is currently regarded as a relatively harmless recreational habit," she said.
Dr John Harvey, of the British Thoracic Society, called for more research into the effects of smoking on the lungs.
"It is vital that young people understand the dangers of both cigarette and cannabis smoking since these habits can start having a serious impact on their lungs at an early stage," he said in a statement.
Some European countries have taken a relaxed approach to cannabis use. Although it is technically illegal in the Netherlands, the drug can be bought and used in cannabis coffee shops in the country.
The Netherlands was also the first nation to make cannabis available as a prescription drug in pharmacies for chronically ill patients. |

Yeah I believe that one.
I've consumed pretty much non-stop for about 20 years -- the first few years almost entirely bongs and I can say that there is only about one square inch of lung that still works.
I notice it most when I exercise -- I don't have the lung capacity I once did. And when I am between batches (like now dammit) I notice after about a week without, I can breathe much easier.
That's it -- I'm turning a new leaf -- a green sticky one!!

Stonesy, that is how you know I am a "Guinnness virgin".
It is too dark & scary for me 
|
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Oh FG.
I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk to you anymore. We C10 have certain rules about who we can conversate with, and I'll have to check on this in the by-laws, but I don't think we are allowed to speak with people who have never had Guinness beer on their tongue.
Guinness is the beer that eats like a meal!
Here's what to do. On your way home from work today, stop at a bottle shop and buy a six. Drink one when you get home. Either that, or lie about it. |

Oh, Stonesy. I've had Guiness, I just didn't enjoy it.
Perhaps I shall try again. Cans or bottles?? |

Hell man, music is the one thing we all agree about!
Sorry FG, when you put that Guinness virgin thingy in that one post I just assumed that you never tried it.
It's an aquired taste. Like Tom Waits or the White Stripes. It takes different folks different amounts to warm up to it, you know what I mean?
But you'll hit that one very special point with Guinness...the point where you come to a realization...a beer epiphany so to speak. You'll be staring down at that deep black hole in your glass, saying, "There surely is a benevolent beer god somewhere that created this black ambrosia."
It's all over after that. |

I'm game for Guiness |

|

I had tried Guinnes a few times here and it was okay -- but when I went to Ireland and had it in numerous, old, warm, friendly, Irish pubs...oh man!! The planets aligned and I have been a believer ever since.
But I prefer Newcastles!!

Man, that guy sure could write a good song. Warren Zevon is one of those guys that you don't really realize how good their stuff is until there ain't no more.
I'm gonna have one for him tonight. |

He's up for a Grammy, for what thats worth. I was curious as if he ever won one or was nominated before. I just don't trust awards shows. |
|
|
| Joey |
For what it is worth .......................
" Steely Dan " was shut out at this years Grammy Nominations .
Word ! ..............to your Mothers !
|
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Well, The Wind IS a good album. But honestly I think the nomination was all made for TV stuff. I could care less about the Grammy awards. I'd bet Warren would pretty much feel the same way.
It'd be fun to have a Grammy award. It'd make a great urinal cake. |
