Being an alpha male means to be confident and assertive, not a controlling manipulative dick. Maybe that's what it means to you. | ||

This is proof that you disregard any argument that doesn't agree with yours. Edit: See? We can both do it. Take it to PMs | ||

And cancer has never been proven in either cig smoking or marijuana smoking, trends indicate that BOTH do, however. (With cig smoking showing a larger trend) there are also trends that indicate marijuana smoke inhibits the growth of cancer cells and there aren't any cases linking emphysema to marijuana smoke that I am aware of although feel free to dispute that | ||

I knew a girl, we wanted to date, but I told her I wouldn't date someone that smokes (anything). She stopped because she felt I was worth it. Though we don't date now, she still doesn't smoke, and shes glad for that. Wins all around. If shes not willing to stop for that, then its probably not worth it. Or you stay in the relationship, so it must not bother you too much. >The words I speak are jumbled and probably make no sense | ||

http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/ "Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers." So if your problem is that it's something unhealthy you don't want in your life, you may feel justified. However, by your own admission she doesn't smoke that often and I haven't seen a study showing health issues relating to sporadic marijuana usage. Edit: I've grown up around cigarette smoke... maybe that makes it smell less awful or something, because to me they're both awful Edit 2: The whole marijuana argument comes down to personal freedom imo. Does your marijuana smoking harm others? (Other than a bad smell) I don't believe it does. Does marijuana put you at an unacceptably high risk? I don't believe it does, at the very least it's on par with alcohol (if not under it) Edit 3: Personal testimony from an anonymous internet user claiming to have gotten emphysema from near daily smoking of marijuana. http://www.marijuana.com/medicinal-marijuana/112018-6-yr-daily-smoker-diagnosed-emphysema-age-23-a.html To point out what emphysema is to those believing it is limited to smoking cigs... Emphysema is a serious lung disease where the alveoli and the narrow passages leading to these air sacs become permanently swollen air. Emphysema is not caused by smoking. But the smoking burns the tissue in the lungs so that the cells are dying faster than the body is able to replace them with new cells. So ANY smoking increases the risk of emphysema. Keep yourselves aware of ALL risks before trying any drugs people. Now, if you deem the risk sufficiently low, then go for it, that's a personal decision I feel you should be allowed to make. I couldn't let misinformation be propagated in this thread, though, sorry for the derail. | ||

I don't believe it does, at the very least it's on par with alcohol (if not under it) For some reason usually neither the proponent or detractors of marijuana usage ever seem to actually know the actual studies that have been performed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729.html EDIT: lol, maybe you should have read the rest of the passage you quoted: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana. By the way that study found the cigarette users in the group had 20x greater chances of cancer. You can read about it at the link. | ||

Alcohol, marijuana, any mind-altering drug. But that's a personal belief, and you are correct in that I am logical, so I do not hold my own beliefs over other people and allow them the ability to choose (I am pro marijuana legalization) | ||

Just because an article says a study was presented does not mean the ATS accepted said study as factual findings. I'd also like to note that I had to dig around for the study myself, as the marijuana facts page does not cite it. Probably because anyone who clicks the link and reads the study would realize how full of shit it was. | ||
