CNN just had a report recently about weed and cancer... granted CNN is incredibly biased and stuff but the study found that in the brain when a tumor grows it sends signals to the cells around it and it causes them to also go haywire and become cancerous and grow out of control, add THC into the mix and the surrounding cells ignore the signals from the cancerous cells... hehe I suppose they are true couch stoners...
The cancer cells are like hey, do this
The normal cells around it are like... uhh no way dude.. I'm busy waching the tube.
Not to say stoners are all lazy bums.. I certainly am not. =)
But yeah there are alot of other things in weed that burn up when you smoke it, and whetehr or not the active ingrediant retards cancerous growth it is still bad for your lungs, it gaks up the surface and cillia of the lungs reduces its efficiency, If I smoke too much I notice my respiration increases and I have crap lung capacity, if I lay off, I can go back to breaking those lung capacity measuring devices eeheh
i smoke everyday and do intense meditative breathing and apply the breathing exercises i learned from singing stage and opera i exercise infrequently. i seem to be just fine, no garbage in my lungs, never get sick anymore.
Sorry about the Thyroid Jill, I pray to be wise enough to figure that out one day, but I cannot offer you any solutions, some advice, however:
i would say that the Meds your getting that come from pigs is the most unhealthy. pigs are EXTREMELY overbread in the usa, they all have short life spans and are producing some of the most dangerous strains of bacteria we've seen in recent years. some of which mutate in various forms that cause paralyzation and even eat flesh (omfg!), and that's just what they're finding in their shit and in pennsylvania ground water, where 70% of the nations pigs are raised by one company.
because of this overproduction, I am going to guess that your meds are subjected to the same type of evolutionary pressure. that could be good or bad, i have no idea how any of this effects your drug in particular, but I think you should find out, it may be helpful.
The EPA and FDA under the direstion of the current administration have revolutionized overprduction and put local farmers almost completely out of the picture. The consequences of big business using the government for their 'good ol boy system' has a serious effect on us all.
The most alarming things go on in texas and flrida, where our synthetics are isolated with certain chamical extractions from oil that are not legal in any other states and not leagal in most places around the world. we then ingest these. it worries me, but i have no hard proof
cept maybe the 80% chance of cancer in the usa
all the pollution is the same
it effects us on all levels, from our cars to our pills
