Smoking Pot Increases Lung Capacity

[freespirit]

Smoking weed packed out with tobacco can't be healthy.
Then again my Grandmother smoked 20 silkcut all her life.What finally called time on her life was simple old age 94 !
She lived a long and healthy existence and passed away in her sleep at home with her family around her.
There is an old saying 'every thing in moderation'.

It is said that some of us will inherit genetic weaknesses with predispose us to certain weaknesses and disease.

Smoking pot/weed/joanna/ganga/cannibis sativa,indica increases lung capacity ?,well that sounds a bit mad to me.

Pretending to smoke pot and taking very deep breaths and holding them while imagining happy thoughts.....
..... also known to increase lung capacity.
Actual pot optional.
results may vary.
don't consult physician.

There is strong data supporting the idea of tobacco being healthful. Only tobacco, no additives. Dr. William Douglas (alternative health newsletter) often cites the cases and fully supports the idea of moderate smoking being healthful.

I remember summers at the public pool (olympic size) and I liked to swim the length underwater too!... (must be something to it) I thought the weed was helping because I was just more relaxed and moved more rhythmically or in flow while under water, great combination either way... the two go together well... lol

in my experience.....and i smoke more than i would like to admit..... i have no problem jogging 5-8 miles on mountain trails regularly. i havent always smoked, but right now my cardio has never been better

as far as edibles go im sure many of you know, its wise to take it slow because you cannot uneat them

"Unlike smoking cannabis, edibles are introduced to the body through the gastrointestinal tract and processed by the liver before entering the blood steam The liver changes the cannabinoid THC into the more potent 11-hydroxy-THC which tends to have a stronger more sedative effect.. Patients ingesting cannabis will often feel the effects within 45 to 90 minutes with a high lasting between 6 to 10 hours."

ive heard the 11-hydroxy is around 5x as potent? a good month ago, i had a bit too much and had quite the spiritual experience on edibles. but atleast i recognized something my life was trying to tell me haha.....

Yeah, I use to smoke a cig before I took our PT test (fitness test) in the military and it does open lung capability, that's why we did it.
I occasionally smoke cigars now and run 5 miles a day so...yeah....lol

I think the physical act of inhalation/exhalation is far more pronounced when smoking tobacco or cannabis, which acts like excercise. Much like rhythmic breathing, smoking draws a lot of focus to the lungs, and draws concentration to something we do many times a day without even thinking of it.

I have read that cannabis can curtail some of the dis-ease of tobacco smoking, but any real studies are controversial. Make your own mind up!
