Researchers at the University of Leicester in England have found "convincing evidence" that pot smoke damages DNA in ways that could potentially increase the risk of cancer. "There have been many studies on the toxicity of tobacco smoke,” researcher Rajinder Singh said in a news release. “Cannabis in contrast has not been so well studied." Singh said cannabis smoke contains 400 compounds including 60 cannabinoids. It also contains 50 percent more carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including naphthalene, benzanthracene, and benzopyrene, than tobacco smoke, Singh added. In the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology, the scientists describe the development of a new method that provides a clear indication that cannabis smoke damages DNA, under laboratory conditions. "The smoking of 3-4 cannabis cigarettes a day is associated with the same degree of damage to bronchial mucus membranes as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day," the team wrote in the journal. "These results provide evidence for the DNA damaging potential of cannabis smoke," the researchers concluded, "implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development." | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Even if weed smoke was that damaging (5x that of tobacco) it doesnt matter because tobacco smokers smoke 5x as much as a pothead does anyday. I know 3-4 joints in a day would be a heavy day of smoking for me, but 20 ciggarettes for a chain smoker? Nooooo problemo. Fuckin' douchebags..

I've got news for them...there isn't a person on this planet who's DNA isn't riding a downward spiral the moment their DNA begins splitting cells. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | they are trying as much as they can to make this like conclusive and a done deal, they say they are Developing a method that Might *they arent really sure* show that cannabis damages dna. but their phrasing makes me think that they are either. A.on the payroll for some antimj *and now having not come with anything really, they slam this statement out for publicity* B. some guys that blame mj for something and so are out to get it *and now not having come up with anything really they slam this ...* C.smoke really is damaging to your dna and we should all vapourise or eat it. well... ive smoked since 18 *cigs since 15, only smoke now mixed with mj and last 3-4 years *cant remember really* ive just lain in bed for the most part, no exercise beyond walking to the store *only last year a kilometer off, usually 100 m or so* and just for the heck of it *lol ok it was almost storeclosing time and i was out of cigs and the next shop is 3 km off *i ran the entire way there and my lungs are fine *slightly out of breath for 5 mins* and actually ran back just for the heck of it *ok ok , i bought pizza too and i didnt want it cold* and felt that less. i smoke everyday all day, as much as i need *which is usually as much as i can* but cigarettes for last 3 years more and more only mixed with mj, before that pack a day *most 2-3 packs* and the only exercise ive done since school, was a bunch of manual labour between 18-24. so how is mj damaging to my dna? lol i hate how much people Actually listen to doctors and scientists, though its getting more amusing than annoying. i met a shrink the other day , who told me in all seriousness that mj was brain damaging and addicting, he was referring to the infamous monkey trials.... this is a respected man (at least to some degree) and all he is , is a misinformed, vaguely intelligent drugpusher *lol wanted me to test a ton of drugs, most with 30% claimed effectivness *mostly placibo effect i would think* and a ton of the shittiest sideffects. lovely. but i digress. this article is a joke, halliluja. bless ya all ![]() | ||
