So? It doesn't work if you don't smoke 200 joints every day.

[lavar78]

Just say no.

Interesting... 100 times more potent than THC... HU-210. Without having to smoke in the tar and whatnot that causes cancer of the lungs.

Wow. Cool news man. I don't smoke very often, but honestly, when I do I figure out things that I havent' been able to figure out before, I feel more relaxed, happier, and generally just 'better' about a lot of things. Without put I'd have more issues I would not have worked out, but the single best thing about smoking is I'm able to put myself in other people's shoes more easily.

You should smoke more of it.

I think there are natural "medicines" in this earth. Humans tend to abuse these things and give them bad reps when doing so.

Take opiates for example. Someone in serious pain, it's great.

But then those that abuse them (It could be any of us really) give it a bad name.

Seriously. It allows me to change my viewpoints to other people's a lot more effectively, thus learn things about situations I would otherwise never figure out. It seems to help me almost focus on things in a way. But...meh. I'm not up for doing drugs often. I am who I am. An occasional high or drunk is the way I like things to be.

Pot not a major cancer risk: report

Whereas nicotine has several effects that promote lung and other types of cancer, THC acts in ways that counter the cancer-causing chemicals in marijuana smoke, Melamede explained in an interview with Reuters Health.

"THC turns down the carcinogenic potential," he said.

For example, lab research indicates that nicotine activates a body enzyme that converts certain chemicals in both tobacco and marijuana smoke into cancer-promoting form. In contrast, studies in mice suggest that THC blocks this enzyme activity.

...

All of this, he said, fits in with population studies that have failed to link marijuana smoking with a higher risk of lung cancer -- though there is evidence that pot users have more respiratory problems, such as chronic cough and frequent respiratory infections.
