Smoking cannabis is not good for you, that is a fact. Smoking anything is
not good for you. You can smoke as much as you want.. only going to make
your health worse. Eating it though.. now that is an entirely different
story.
Weed is overhyped as a medicine a by people who mostly want to get high
with it…the best "cure" for cancer and most diseases is something John
mentioned a few vids ago..a good nutrient dense organically grown plant
based diet..if you eat well you will find you will not have much use for
most medicine

I didn’t say that. you are an idiot. get off the weed and have a debate
when your mind is more intelligent. I said that smoke causes free radical
damage. do you know what smoke is? it is what burns. and do you know what
free radical damage is? look is up when your eyes turn white again and you
can read straight. any inhaling of anything burning causes free radical
damage. even eating charcoal causes this. burnt food.
Child, you know little when you have loved one’s dying in front of you. Yes
