WA certainly has some beautiful areas but you gotta drive pretty far away for a view like that.

I read a study the other day that said moderate marijuana inhalation doesn't damage the lungs at all.

To be honest, a lot of "studies" on marijuana are full of shit, either for it or against it. Or at least that's how they appear to me, because I see them trying to conclude "marijuana is bad" or "marijuana is harmless."
I'm no expert, but I doubt inhaling smoke can ever not damage the lungs. That's all I'm saying.

I read that study as well, and I recall that there were numerous dubious statements that left me thoroughly unconvinced. I tend to echo what you just said, "I'm no expert, but I doubt inhaling smoke can ever not damage the lungs". One interesting speculation made in the article about the study was that the potential harm done to the lungs as detected by breathalizer tests could have been neutralized by the way in which marijuana is generally inhaled, almost like a "practice" for the test. Of course, potential lung damage has nothing to do with the fact that getting high makes you temporarily retarded, during which time plenty of bad things can happen.

The fact that it impairs your mental faculties (i.e. makes you "temporarily retarded") is enough to at least note that the risks of smoking it go beyond potential lung damage, and that a study insinuating that doing it moderately causes no damage shouldn't be construed as it being harmless. Sure, most people probably just eat, watch movies, listen to music, or whatever, but, as Ozzman said, taking a drive, or doing something else that may not be such a great idea when you're high, might not sound like such a bad idea sometimes, which can lead to "plenty of bad things". This is not a post advocating abstinence. I've stated more than enough times that I support it being legal.

I AGREE WITH THIS, PEOPLE WHO SMOKES IT HAVE TO BE CONSCIOUS WHEN AND WHERE THEY DO IT, THE SAME WITH DRINK TOO MUCH.
