I don't like cannabis because it destroys the lungs like tobacco.
Also, about 20% of hospital admissions are directly or indirectly caused by
smoking tobacco.
The body needs to take in oxygen and to get rid of carbondioxide.
Cannabis & tobacco destroy the very cells in the lungs that take in oxygen
and get rid of carbondioxide.

That is if you smoke it.
There is no reason at all why it cannot be eaten in one form or the
other. People who dislike smoking it make cookies, cakes, or whatever.

Then, why (to make it on-topic) don't you cook with it. Cannabis
cookies can be very enjoyable ... I understand.

Yeah I've had Cannabis cookies and they were too strong.
I lay on the couch and laughed for an hour or two.
Also I found it a bit disconcerting that there appeared to be a time delay
between my brain and my body. Cannabis smokers have told me that it is
better smoking it.
I can't inhale cigarette smoke.

You do get a different effect when eating vs. smoking Cannabis.

Eating it produces more of a 'body stone' and lasts longer, whereas
smoking it hits you quicker, wears off quicker, but gives you a more
cerebral high. As you've found, it's important to get the dose right when
eating it

I've read where Cannabis loses about 40 percent of it's potency if it
is cooked and eaten as opposed to smoking it. I tried Pot Brownies a
couple times and didn't get a buzz off them. Used to smoke pot;
haven't touched it in ten years since my workplace adopted a random
drug testing policy.

The wife of one of my editors used to cook up hash brownies and send
him to work with a bunch for me to take home.

The publisher was very much against that sort of thing and had a fit
one day when I burned some incense in my office because he thought it
was a joint. After showing him the packet it came in I convinced him
otherwise, but he asked me not to do it again because someone else
might think the same thing.

The editor and I used to eat a few brownies at work during the day and
share them with the receptionist. It was a happy workplace and the
brownies certainly made the day more pleasant for everyone, including,
I daresay, the publisher.

Don't know about cookies but brownies are traditional.

Never tried spaghetti with meat sauce, but I understand that that works
also. It's just another herb in there.

Ted,

Try this sometime...

In a small sauce pan, add a cup of water and 2 tablespoons of butter and a
handful of marijuana leaves (NOT buds!!!), gently stirring constantly until
boiling. Remove leaves, squeezing the oils back into the pan, reduce to
simmering and add a packet of instant oatmeal and cook until done.

Sweet dreams!

See ya tomorrow!!!

Andy

OK, I gotta ask: Why not buds?
(Other than a handful would be a *bit* extreme!)

Probably 1/8 handful crushed buds?

Today's pot ain't what it was back in the 70's. <g> Sticky buds are a
LOT higher in THC than bunk.

Personally, I hate the stuff. Last time I got stoned (21 years ago) I
had a severe panic attack. I seriously thought I was dying.

I'll never go anywhere near Pot again!

Probably due to strength...

Better for those who smoke to save the buds for that, then use the leaves
for cookies, etc.

Interestingly, as an experiment we tried using the dried, yellow crap
leaves that you'd normally throw away in cookies.
They actually were /very/ effective, and yet a quick test smoke of the
same leaf produced no effect at all.

If you're fortunate enough to have access to and correctly handle liquid
hydrogen you can freeze dry marijuana into crystals. A few grains puffed
will HIGH you into outer space!!!

Not that I know what I'm talking about!!!

Not according to the latest medical studies..

They actually claim it prevents lung cancer.

Perhaps not cancer but cannabis joints damage lungs more than tobacco -
study

http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/20...dalcohol.drugs

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0123104017.htm

How does marijuana affect the lungs?
Scientists believe that marijuana can be especially harmful to the lungs
because users often inhale the unfiltered smoke deeply and hold it in their
lungs as long as possible. Therefore, the smoke is in contact with lung
tissues for long periods of time, which irritates the lungs and damages the
way they work. Marijuana smoke contains some of the same ingredients in
tobacco smoke that can cause emphysema and cancer. In addition, many
marijuana users also smoke cigarettes; the combined effects of smoking these
two substances creates an increased health risk.

Can marijuana cause cancer?
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is
found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been
exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed
cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In
laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when
applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that
marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years.

The study quoted on WebMD, compares some one who smoked 1 to 1 1\2
joints a day to some one who smoked 40 cigarettes a day. Hardly a
valid comparison. 22,000 joints divided by 40 years, divided by 365
day per year.
