		<description>i smoke all the time, but if you combust ie use a lighter, this process creates butane vapor from lighter , and carbon monoxide from the ignition. This alone will rot the tissue of the lungs, so vap all the way cos there is no harm in natures herb, thats why it&#039;s there ffs.

		<description>Tobacco is a poisonous plant.  It makes sense if you smoke, chew, or eat poison then it is detrimental to your health.  I have not found the state &quot;poisonous plants&quot; poster that shows cannabis to be poisonous.</description>

		<description>jaymz...i too experienced similar circumstances when i quit smoking cigarettes. i was never a singer in a rock band or an athlete but i did notice an increase in my endurance in walking and any other phyical activity where i had to exert myself as to be short of breath after i had uit smoking cigrettes. i am a stroke survivor and 2 of my 4 doctors dont exactly encourage me using cannabis, however, they did not say anything negative about it. my old pcp (promary cre physician)actually reccommended i go to a &quot;pot doc&quot; as at the time (and now) i have/had trouble goint to sleep in a reasonable amount of time...now i just eat a cookie or brownie and im ready to fall asleep within an hour (sometimes longer, depending on potency) and my experience with ambien was horrific. the next day i wasnt remembering things i did hours before i went to sleep. i def do not reccomend ambien. ita a scary drug.period.

		<description>I have struggled with tobacco for years, and finally kicked the habit.  I quit because I could no longer breath, walk more than a block on a slight hill, or much less run anywhere.  I also sing in a hard rock band and when I quit, I obtained a much better vocal range and more wind.  I started jogging, and I can breath like I never have been able to before.  Throughout this time I never gave up cannabis.  I may have even consumed more cannabis while kicking the addiction of nicotine.  It kills me to hear the myth, &quot;Smoking one joint is like smoking 10 - 20  cigarettes.&quot;  Completely false.  Well now that I&#039;m free from nicotine, I can now enjoy cannabis at a higher level, and somehow maintain open windpipes and much better lung health.</description>

		<description>Q: Why haven&#039;t we heard about it?

A: Bilderberg Group


Actually I hope not, but I remember watching a show on Secret Societies on History Channel and as it seems more and more confounding why these studies do not get exposure to the world it seems like a plausible explanation.


Smoke on!</description>

August 19th, 2009 at 5:41 pm&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&quot;Something I never understood…
When I was still smoking cannabis 
I never ever mixed it with Tobacco. 
Why on earth would you want to do that? 
I used to smoke cigs, nasty shit! 
I loved the taste of pure cannabis. 
Please, someone enlighten me to this practice....&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


&lt;b&gt;RE: R.O.E, 
To look at it another way...
 
- Some of us who like to smoke, 
(or vaporize), tobacco, find that adding cannabis improves 
the taste of the tobacco, in similar manner as adding 
mint-leaf, mint-extract, (menthol), does, only better... :D

- For those of us who prefer to add tobacco to our cannabis, 
this also has advantages, especially, to &quot;liven-up&quot; sleepy, 
high-cannabidiol Indica cultivars, and to improve the taste of 
varieties that tend to have a &quot;piney&quot; / &quot;Pine-Sol&#8482;&quot; taste through a vaporizer...

BTW: 
- Some of us hate the taste of most commercial cigarette-brands, 
(Crappy, putrid corpoRAT tobacco most definitely, 
ought to be dis-allowed, but not high-quality blends), 
and don&#039;t even like to smoke, preferring vaporization and / or 
minimally-processed, whole-leaf chewing-tobacco...

Organic tobacco, 
(that doesn&#039;t contain additives, 
nor is grown with radioisotope-bearing 
chemical-fertilizers), is less hazardous than 
big-cig tobacco;  And, through a vape, tastes quite 
delicious, peppery...&lt;/b&gt; 
:) 

R.O.E. 
I hope this helped enlighten you...</description>
