Is there any fighter's that smoke???

[Eyegouge]

hey, i eat my smart start, i take my vitamins, i use tons of herbs and spices in my cooking.....my cell phone can give me tumors and cancer....the powerlines that go over my apartment can mutate me....the pollution in my town taste so good when i go for walks or runs. The water that comes outta my sink....sub par when compaired to mexican water....I just stopped worrying about all that shit.

Fighters do what you can to be a damn good fighter. But if ya like to smoke....cigs or weed....or drink beer or booze....freaking who cares? it's not like we don't already live in a world where if you let the wrong girl from the club hump the hell outta ya, even if you wrap your jimmy, you'll still get aids. We take chances everyday guys.

If you want to smoke pot, or cigarettes, or booze, or hump whoever you want, your gambling, just like you are when you get in the ring. Who's to say that elbow point won't land right in your eye instead of your temple? Uh oh, now your half blind in one eye....well that sucks but it's life.

We throw huge punches with 4 oz gloves on people...smoke, drink, hump, do whatever you want....we all get hurt. If it's our time to go it's our time to go. If I get lung cancer, my liver fails, and break my hands....well, then it look's like I'll have to take up a new hobby.

No, bud does hurt the lungs believe me. Im not sure where that myth came from but putting any kind of smoke into your lungs hurts them. It cannot give you lung cancer but it hurts the efficiency quite a bit.

Been smoking for a long time now, I dont see myself quitting but don't fool yourself into thinking it doesnt hurt you. Slows your thinking down as well, everyone that smokes will tell you how bad their short term memory is. But stop smoking for a month and your back to regular brain activity again. I don't know how many times I have lost things just putting them down and forgetting where I put them 10 secs later.

i didnt say weed didnt hurt ur lungs. i was just pointing out that tobacco is way worse. also, they have alot of different devices now for marijuana that help reduce the harmful chemicals in it like bongs, vaporizors, and bubblers. also, u gotta keep in mind that tobacco smokers and bud smokers smoke differently. tobacco smokers inhale way more smoke because they usually smoke many times per day. most bud tokers do no smoke as much as someone who smokes cigs, they only need a few good hits and they are good. most bud tokers i know dont even smoke everyday, and the ones that do will only smoke mabye once or twice a day. so even if bud is harsher and contains more chemicals, it is usually smoked much less than tobacco and many people reduce its harmful chemicals with devices, unlike tobacco.

btw, they came out with a huge study recently that said thc actually acts to prevent tumors from forming in the lungs, which tobacco is known to do. u can still get lung infections and whatnot from excessive smoking of bud, but thc itself was shown to prevent lung cancer. marijuana and tobacco effect the lungs in completely different ways.

From your origional post it seemed to me you were saying it didnt have any effects on your lungs. I was mistaken, I was just giving some info on the subject. Hey I smoke bud too, I smoke much more then the average smoker, has been a few weeks since I have taken a puff but when I smoked I smoked a lot.

I was one of the smokers that enjoyed the smoking experience, as in I liked to smoke for the smoking not the effects. It was like smoking cigs for people who enjoy it. I smoke way too much of it, so I am relating from personal experience. But for the last month I have taken a break, due to the fact that I am moving to BC. Just thought I would clean out the old brain a bit.

Anyway, sorry if my post upset you but I was just responding to what I thought your post was saying.

lol are u taking a break just so when u get to BC u can go nuts with that BC bud ?

[shadowkiller]

Nope I gotta give my brain a rest so I can get back into school mode. I know I will smoke in BC but I gotta get out of my bad habit of doing it everyday. Especially wake and bakes, those are the worst for me, because I usually end up smoking for the rest of the day. Just cause burning out is so shitty when you have things to do.

Hopefully I can become a recreation smoker again, those were the fun times. When I actually did things and pot was just something that made the experiences all the better.

Worse than the ill effects of lethargy, lung damage and brain damage (don't forget the way that crap trips your short term memory) you can be associated with all the other vege brain druggies that clog the arteries of the industrial country you live in...

Scum of the earth, welcome to my world.

am i scum too cause i like to smoke bud? i work, go to school, and train in multiple martial arts in addition to lifting weights. am i scum because at the end of a hard day of work i like to smoke some bud and watch cartoons by myself? is it really so bad? am i that big of a menace to society because i just wanna smoke a joint and watch some sienfeld by myself at the end of the day? i mean if so, i guess im a bad guy.

you are right tanto, people who smoke bud do get stigmatized in our society. but its really unfair i think. alot of times when people hear i smoke pot they immediately think im a lazy, unmotivated douchebag, and they dont even know me. its unfair, and alot of it has to do with our bs "war on drugs" which has only been proven to create crime and social problems instead of making them better. marijuana is really less harmful than alot of other things that people do that are legal. there are people who smoke tons of cigs, binge drink alcohal and go nutz, are addicted to caffien, cheat on their spouses, are out of shape as ****, and yet for some reason they have the balls to look down on me cause i like to smoke some bud. i think those people need to look at themselves first before they pass judgement on me.

Your not scum, man. I grew up in the seventies when everyone smoked bud, we wern't scum either. We were "enlightened". And it was a hell of alot cheaper then too! $30. an oz. got you pretty damned enlightened.

[mixwell]

smoking weed is at least 20 times more expensive than cigarettes, and 4 times more harmful to your lungs. do some research bitches.

word.. Smoking herb is just as bad or if not worse than cigarettes.. And you can get cancer from smoking herb as well. Not sure about the tar opposed to weed but its any smoke in your body isn't good.. I happen to smoke cigarettes myself.. No one else in my bjj class smokes except for me..

"Enlightenment" as you put it should NEVER involve polluting your mind or body.

The cost of addiction isn't measured in the number of dollars burned. Is it? Enlighten me, how much has it cost you personally? In dollars? I don't want your sob stories about girlfriends that left just what you spend on weed? Since you started smoking back in the 70's? Not if you ever got popped for possession or how much THAT cost? Or had to pay high premiums for insurance because of that stupid DUI ? Not the fines or any jail time, just dollars for the weed?



A man that smokes a pack a day can spend more than 100.00 dollars a month for his habit... what does that dope go for these days? More expensive than gold you say? Think about that?

well just a few weeks ago they came out with the results of a pretty big study about marijuana and cancer. this was a top story in the news, u can search for it yourself. they said that thc itself acts in such a way that it prevents cancerous cells from multiplying. thc starves tumorous growths of blood cells they need in order to keep growing, but doesnt damage any of the healthy cells that surround it. for this reason, they are speculating that thc may also prevent other cancers from growing, like brain tumors and breast cancer.

btw, when they did population studies on rastafarians they werent able to find any link between marijuana and cancer either. rastafarians smoke bud all day long and have been doing so forever, and they didnt have any higher rates of lung cancer than regular people who dont smoke.

But not toe cancer then.

Let me ask you a question, do you drink?

Cause if you do, you must be an alchoholic, right? I have never seen someone that has just smoked a joint get up and want to get into a fight, if anything they would rather break it up. Alchohol is a much larger problem than pot, its just more widely accepted. Have you ever smoked a joint before and if, did you feel like scum, well according to what you said you are scum. And if you haven't shut up. If this is the case you have no backing for any opinions you might have. So let it be, either way you won't win.

100 dollars a month? More like that in a week.
