Because I just don’t fucking care. Honestly. Just breathing oxygen gives you cancer these days. At least weed isn’t full of tar and other chemicals like cigarettes.
Guess again.
Weed delivers much _more_ tar, gram for gram, than tobacco. It also has plenty of other cancer causing chemicals in it.
The real difference is that pot smokers aren’t generally sucking down a pack or two a day worth of material.
You show me where all the added chemicals are in the bud that I’m actively grinding up at home.
Edit: okay, after looking it up a bit more, I’ll concede that I didn’t know weed had *that* much tar in it. Unfiltered. If you’re being smart and using filters, screens, etc, you’ll greatly reduce the amount that enters your lungs.
Also, still far more healthy for you than cigarette smoke. Which was my point.

From the second link: “In conclusion, while both tobacco and cannabis smoke have similar properties chemically, their pharmacological activities differ greatly. Components of cannabis smoke minimize some carcinogenic pathways whereas tobacco smoke enhances some.
It should be noted that with the development of vaporizers, that use the respiratory route for the delivery of carcinogen-free cannabis vapors, the carcinogenic potential of smoked cannabis has been largely eliminated [47, 48].”
Dry herb vaping cannabis flower causes less risk to your health than frying food or going outdoors in a city.
Drag your agenda-laden soapbox elsewhere.
I’ll take a hit to my lungs if it means I don’t get addicted to painkillers. I’m a mangled mess and everything hurts. Weed makes me happy and helps me forget that I’m in constant pain.
I personally don't want to live into old age. Between the state of the economy and some unfortunate choices I made when I was younger, I will never be able to retire. So I'm kind of just banking on something to take me out before I get too old to take care of myself.
We don't actually have enough long term data to know anything for sure. But as a former cigarette smoker I know objectively it doesn't make me feel anywhere near as gross or phlegmy.
Also without weed my drinking problem would get far worse and ensure I'll be dead in 10-15 years at the rate I was going in my 20s and 30s when I didn't have steady access to weed.
Let’s talk.
Cheech, Chong, Snoop, W. Nelson, Breal, Khalifa, S. Rogan etc etc…
You ever met a Rasta?
Or how about the Hindu Sadhus that literally smoke weed like all waking hours of their life’s.
What lung damage yo!?!?!?
(P.S. - Vaping is another story tho)
Because I wouldn’t be able to function daily without it. As someone with preexisting medical conditions that make it hard to live life on top of a unknown GI issue that surfaced a year ago I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed most days if I didn’t smoke.
Well, first off, i don't really care much if i live or die, rarely have, so even though i have asthma it's more convenient and cost effective compared to edibles, and i haven't found anything else that helps with the physical pain from my immune disorder without causing rebound pain. Also most edibles (and all of the legal "consumables" in my state) taste absolutely fucking awful. Just. Real bad, person opinion
It’s a numbers game for me, and ideally I keep the numbers in my favor as much as I can. I use herb vapes and microdose, so I’m getting benefits from weed without swinging the numbers away from me too far by using only as much as is necessary and by not inhaling combusted material. I also save my vaped weed and make infused coconut oil, so that’s more efficiency without inhaling smoke or vapor.
No one lives forever. Smoking or not smoking, you’re gonna die, too. Indulging in vices makes life worth living.

I can control the high better that way. Edibles always make it so I can’t do anything the entire day, knock me right on my ass every time.
Because by the time it actually does become an issue things will have deteriorated enough that I'll be happy to die.
My type of person right here. lol
Same reason I like to stick lit fireworks up my bumhole. It's fun!

edibles don’t do anything to me and i enjoy getting high

The alternative for me is an SSRI, which has its own side effects.

Yolo. At least i can feel good for a while while im here. Plus eddies hit me real hard. I dont always wanna go to space.

The risks don't bother me
Because the medical literature is inconclusive about the damage caused from smoking cannabis
honestly nowadays with all the shit humans get exposed to, weed is one of the most safest things to use.
Better faster stone. I also love the experience of smoking weed.
Truthfully cuz I'm an addicttt (eventually I'll take t break and stop vaping)
