Smoking Pot Is 5 Times More Acidic Then Smoking 1 Cigarette

Smoking one cannabis joint is as harmful to a
person's lungs as having up to five cigarettes,
according to research published on Tuesday.

Those who smoked cannabis damaged both the lungs'
small fine airways, used for transporting oxygen,
and the large airways, which blocked air flow,
the researchers said.

It meant cannabis smokers complained of wheezing,
coughing, and chest tightness, the study by experts
at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand
found.

The researchers tested 339 people — those who
smoked only cannabis, those who smoked tobacco,
those who smoked both and non-smokers.

The study found only those who smoked tobacco
suffered from the crippling lung disease emphysema,
but cannabis use stopped the lungs working properly.

"The extent of this damage was directly related to
the number of joints smoked, with higher consumption
linked to greater incapacity," said the authors of
the report published in the medical journal Thorax.

"The effect on the lungs of each joint was equivalent
to smoking between 2.5 and five cigarettes in one go."

The British government is considering whether cannabis
should be reclassified as a more serious drug because
of the dangers associated with stronger strains.

"The danger cannabis poses to respiratory health is
consistently being overlooked," said Helena Shovelton,
Chief Executive of the British Lung Foundation.

"Smoking a joint is more harmful to the lungs than
smoking a cigarette and we have just banned people
from doing that in public places because of the health
risks."

Last week British researchers said using marijuana
increased the risk of developing a psychotic illness
such as schizophrenia.

"Smoking a joint will use up the alkaline reserves of
the body and create systemic latent tissue acidosis."

"The best advise I can give to protect the body and
especially the lungs from an acute or chronic acidic
dis-ease is not smoke pot! It is 5 times more
acidic then smoking one cigarette," states
Robert O. Young, D.Sc., Ph.D.
