I've really been wondering about the long term effects of marijuana smoke, in particular the bewildering strains that have been bred in response to market forces and growing constraints over the past 50 years. I have a feeling that it is going to be the Millennial generation's "why didn't anyone tell us!" chronic health problem.
Pointless anecdata: a conversation with a coroner in Washington State reveals his observation that since legalization occurred the lung quality of younger folks dying for unrelated/accidental reasons has been atrocious.
- crawfordcomeaux 10y agoI'm betting we find a notable difference in effects based on what people are doing after ingesting in different ways. I suspect certain types of mental & physical exercises done at some point after ingestion could help to a large degree.
- jboggan 10y agoI'm solely talking about the long term effects of filling your lungs with fine particulates.
- crawfordcomeaux 10y agoGotcha. Maybe we can find a way to think the particulates out of our body?
- arcaster 10y agoI cannot agree more with your sentiment. As a millennial, I can't wait for the surge in lung and oral cancer in about 20 yrs, when the cannabis industry unsurprisingly starts dodging the "real" health negatives of smoking cannabis.
- AstralStorm 10y agoJust give us access to high quality vape and oral versions instead. It has to be legal and properly supervised by FDA to achieve this. More than tobacco.
