The research doesn't support your assertion. This study, for example, shows that (unlike tobacco) marijuana use does not correlate with an increased risk of lung cancer. I can see where it's tempting, but it's simply not appropriate to assume that tobacco and marijuana smoke affect people in the same manner in terms of health. They are two fundamentally different substances, and they really should be treated as such.

As for spreading room-to-room, I'm not sure how to respond to this. You've taken the conclusions of a study on so-called "third-hand smoke" and expanded them to fit your position. It's not really a legitimate use of a study to say "well, they discovered A, and it makes sense to me that B (which is not discussed in the study) would occur after A, so I'm just going to assume that B occurs, even if there's no evidence of that." The study does not say the chemicals spread from room-to-room, and making that claim based upon the study in simply inappropriate.

I believe it has been firmly established that I am an ass. Yeah, probably a little harsh, but when I hear the ex is a heroin addict it tells me some things about the dope smoker that are not made explicit. I have no problem with dope smokers. I am one. But when I hear she had kids with a heroin addict it sets off alarm bells.

It's a great organization that is raising awareness about these issues and trying to have some standards and enforcement set in government to help protect people from exposure.


Im the proud member of a group that advocates requiring all children below the age of 12 be fitted with airbags. You simply cannot be too careful. And after all, its for the children.

I can't smoke a full joint anymore; not with the potency of weed nowadays. A month or so ago I tried but I got about half the blunt down and I was so wrecked I couldn't think. Glad I wasn't driving.

It did make my experience at Walking With Dinosaurs a real rush, though.

To be fair, I'm not certain that he was an addict before they had kids (though he very well may have been). Both of them did smoke pot though. That's why I'm so unsettled by this, she hasn't changed much at all since then except now she has children.

Though I'm kinda past this now. Things like this happen, and its not fair but that's just how life is. As I said before, I wouldn't mind if this topic was locked though it seems you all are in middle of a fairly civil debate so I'm not going to request it.

Lung cancer is just one, there's the possibility of other illnesses that may not be noted. Many people don't mention the psychological harm that can be done, especially the induction of mental illness.

Did you really just fucking write that?

...so you're worried about mental illness caused by third-hand pot smoke? Goddam.

Like Rube said, some of the weed out there nowadays is incredibly potent.
