Isn't it true that weed has less of a health impact than tobacco?

[bennyfroobs]

depends on the state of ur mental health

* do u mean with ppl getting treated on the nhs or just peoples' health in general??

the government make more money off taxing smoking than they lose via the nhs on smoking related illnesses

I think that if people live longer then the government has more time to tax the individual through other taxes, thus counterbalancing the lack of tobacco tax revenue.

hmm yeah maybe man

the size of the tobacco industry and the quantity of cigarttes that people buy makes me dubious though

also anti smoking campaigns are like 99.999999% pointless

i did a dissertation about it

I'm sorry Froobydoop but this just isn't true. It must be in how you defined what is 'related'. Because there's too many consequences. Even with the uks quite severe taxation tbh.

Don't ask a guy producing jungle lol but yeah.
There isn't any direct impact except for slightly irritating/upsetting the air passages and lol I dont know what you call it but
the 'phlegm department' cynises etc.
Oh and fucking about with the bloodsugar might (we are not certain yet) have an effect on cholesterol (maybe even possitive though).

I know that my father's short term memory is shit and I suspect his 35 years of smoking ganja had a play in the matter.

No, you don't know that. Because you and me and your dad, isn't neurological geniouses that can discern what long, short or medium memmory is.
I know what you mean though ofcourse !

What we can experience is the shift in focus. Because the weed or hash is used to shift that focus and then being present or staying in that focus for long periods of time will make it appear as if that particular brain function has changed.

But it's nothing more severe than getting used to always wear a scarf and feeling slightly chilled without that scarf even when its not needed. Probably not the most applicable example lol.

I had to stop smoking weed as I was getting incredibly paranoid, had bad moodswings and was generally lazy as fuck all the time.

Then I stopped and it went away. I then gave it a break for years and tried again and it started making me feel fucked again.

[m8son666]

yh fuck weed, giving it up was the best thing i've ever done

i think the majority of people grow out of it eventually

[Genevieve]

Hope I get an infraction or temp ban at most, but I had to do it.

[m8son666]

hahahaha

[wolf89]

It's also actually really boring. Even if I could smoke it I wouldn't want to any more.

[Genevieve]
