Yeah, I don’t get people who think inhaling the smoke from anything burning isn’t harming their lungs.
COPD is definitely a culprit, but check out the Breeders Syndicate podcast where they interview "Heavy Dayze", the Austrailian dude that does The Pot Cast. Turns out he is in the medical field in some fashion and there is an interesting discussion about the difference between the effects of tobacco and cannabis w.r.t. "tar" in the lungs.

Short version is that the tobacco tar kills the follicles in the lungs. They regenerate, but it takes about a month of no tobacco to start seeing that new growth. I smoked tobacco for 30 years and know I can't fix all that.

The tar in cannabis numbs them, coats them, but they don't die. If you have obstructed breathing from the build-up once you cough it up it's done. So the detrimental effects last a few hours. If you have seen both versions of lung-cookies you know it's true.

That said if you keep smoking and don't give it that resting period to recover it works out to COPD. I don't think there's been any reports of cancer from a non-tobacco-smoking cannabis smoker, but the way smoking was OK'd for so many decades there's not a lot of those case studies who have never smoked cigarettes but smoked cannabis to the point of lung failure.

I heard he's moving to edibles which probably means his doctor found an issue with his lungs and he needs to stop treating them like garbage. The amount of blunts he smoked every day has to have definitely done some damage.
It catches up to you when you get upwards of 60.
I'm smoking close to a dozen joints a day right now.
It has been a "top shelf" season.
The ole lungs have been working overtime this summer.
Healthwise, growing from the shadows, helps keep me moving and in good shape for my age.
I seldom press and consume concentrates.
I find the whole process gets old rather quickly.
and I've never ate a professionally made edible before.
I'll be very unhappy when I can no longer smoke my "own grown" flower.
I wish Snoop the best of luck.

Yup! It's what killed my dad. It's a horrible way to go.
It helped kill my brother in 2020 as "Rona" was just getting that "scary" foothold.
I'm just now getting his estate and assets sold and all the money turned over to the fucking nursing home and the state.
He unfortunately owned property of value and was on Medicaid.
I'm the executor and they get it all.
Hell, I'm having to buy his truck back through a 3rd party.

If they get it all I would tell them that they're the executor now.

It a real thing. I know a few folks who have had to step away from the pipe. I tell myself all the time I should quit. I definitely feel it after 50+ years of pretty much daily tokin'. I would have already stopped if I could get off on edibles. Lucky Dogg...

if I could get off on edibles
Green Dragon is the answer........well it could be. I use it a LOT and it cuts back on my smoking. And your uncooperative pancreas will never see it.......right under the tongue and into the bloodstream........the under the tongue part takes some getting used too. But.bam, you buzzin in 15 minutes.....very little down bubble to it, no crashing and a nice clean high. Like all things weed, tolerance is a bitch and builds up.
Forget dabs.............I got a dabpress a year or so ago and damn near killed myself smoking that shit............dabs make me hack like hell.


1/2 oz decarbed bud goes into a pint jar, then 5 oz's of everclear. Meanwhile, on the stove, you have a small pot with a couple of inches of water simmering @ 170-180 * F. Put the jar in that pot, with lid on, for 20 minutes at that temp. Take it out, let cool, strain into your bottles and that shit is done. Takes 20 minutes and the yield is 2 1/2 ounces. A 1 ounce bottle holds 30 "hits" :)

Yabbadabbadoo...LOL. I've never tried this approach...but I've tried just about everything else. Many attempts include some decently high dosages. (500mg)
It's something I noticed in college when we'd make hash brownies. Everyone else...wasted. Me....smoking weed and eating more brownies :ROFLMAO:
I've tried many times since then....and when I started makin hash I used that. The only time I've really had any effect was on the plane home from Amsterdam when I munched a few grams of black charas down at the airport. Gotta be honest...I've just given up.
