Carlos prates says he smokes 10-15 cigarettes a day

Depends on the person
For me it's not addictive i been on other shit before I know what addiction is I never felt addicted to weed

I can quit anytime I have for weeks and months at a time so I can get higher n feel refreshed was it easy not really but it's manageable it's not like being addicted to other shit not even close

I don't smoke it 365 stop projecting lol smh

Lol at spending 30% of my funds on it not even close I know people that grow and I got the hookup.

I get that weed might be an issue for some but it isn't w/,me stop putting everyone into a box
I have stopped for some weeks

I can stop

Other things are more adictive

Most weed smokers who smoke regulary will smoke every single day and if the don't they get headaches and depression and agressive or negative moods
Of course it is probably nothing compared to heroon and other harder drugs.
But weed smokers who smoke every day for years saying they aren't adicted is quiet funny. Yes you can stop smoking. I also can start joging 1 hour a day, but I didn't do it.

Your decisions on what you do.

Weed smells nice and tastes good it is fun. I personally react strong to it and get side effects and no ty to being in a altered state of mind every single day of the week.

It's true that some people react very strongly to it. I smoked with this dude once and it was like this motherfucker just took a hit of some PCP and started running around the neighborhood screaming. Shit was fucking wild. Me and my homie watched and laughed. Didn't smoke with him again though.
 
Smoke weed for 7 years. Stop it. Now you can't sleep, get a fever, lost your apetite.

Yeah it's not for everyone
But the ones who tolerate it perfectly fine still are gonna get symptoms when they quit. It also distracts you from your career / life. It costs money. You are literaly walking around high sober people judge you.
 
Smoking a pure cannabis joint (without tobacco or additives) still carries physical risks, though they differ somewhat from tobacco smoking. Here’s a breakdown of the potential physical damage:

Respiratory Risks

1. Lung Irritation – Cannabis smoke contains many of the same irritants, tar, and carcinogens as tobacco smoke, leading to coughing, phlegm production, and airway inflammation.


2. Bronchitis-like Symptoms – Regular smoking can cause chronic bronchial irritation, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, and chronic cough.


3. Reduced Lung Function – While cannabis doesn’t cause emphysema like tobacco, heavy long-term use can lead to some degree of reduced lung efficiency.



Cellular and DNA Damage

4. Carcinogens & Toxins – Although cannabis itself hasn’t been definitively linked to lung cancer, the combustion process produces carcinogenic compounds similar to those in tobacco.


5. Mucosal Damage – The heat from smoking can cause minor burns or irritation to the throat and airways, potentially leading to cellular damage over time.



Cardiovascular Impact

6. Increased Heart Rate – Smoking cannabis causes an acute rise in heart rate, which could pose a risk for those with pre-existing heart conditions.


7. Blood Pressure Fluctuations – It can cause temporary blood pressure drops, increasing the risk of dizziness or fainting.



Other Risks

8. Toxin Absorption – Without a filter, you inhale unfiltered combusted plant material, leading to higher exposure to toxins.


9. Mouth and Gum Irritation – Smoke exposure can lead to dry mouth and irritation of the gums, potentially increasing the risk of oral health issues.



How It Compares to Tobacco

Cannabis smoke lacks nicotine, so it doesn’t cause the same level of addiction or vascular damage as tobacco.

However, deep inhalation and breath-holding (common with cannabis) increase tar deposition in the lungs.

The overall frequency of smoking is often lower than cigarette smokers, reducing cumulative exposure.


Mitigating Risks

Vaporization – Avoids combustion and reduces exposure to harmful byproducts.

Edibles or Tinctures – Completely avoids inhalation risks.

Water Filtration (e.g., bongs) – Can slightly reduce some particulate inhalation, but doesn’t eliminate toxins.
Weed feels much lighter on the lungs than cigarettes. Also people smoke packs 20 pieces of cigs. With weed you can smoke 1-3 a day. Depending how much you use.

I personally see more of the risk in it affecting you spiritualy as the thc. It gets you high changes your senses. Nictone is nothing compared to it. You just get a small pleasant buzz. Weed gets you high.

Also depending on where you live weed can be massively impurifyed. Like cut and sprayed ect. 100% true. But depends where in the world.

plus u can just vape the weed and circumvent the whole combustion aspect of smoking weed
 
There apsolutely are weed smokers who are super lazy and slow in life and broke. It exists. Wake and bake.
I mean, there are absolutely people who don't smoke weed who are super lazy and slow in life and broke. It's definitely not for everyone, but not everybody who smokes weed is doomed to be some sort of failure.
 
Genetics are weird. Everybody is different. My grandfather smoke and drank every day for like 60 years and died in his mid 80s.

Cannabis smoke is still harmful. I did a quick google and one joint is like 3-5 cigarettes.

Not sure where you got that.
I was curious (I'd just assumed tobacco is wacco from all the totally "scientific" scare-tactic D.A.R.E commercials), so thought it was weird that marijuana was worse. . . but after some (albeit cursory) googling, . . . .they both look bad, but tobacco looks significantly worse and in many more different ways.

This is from an open access health journal and educational publisher (Springer Nature):

"In conclusion, while both tobacco and cannabis smoke have similar properties chemically, their pharmacological activities differ greatly. Components of cannabis smoke minimize some carcinogenic pathways whereas tobacco smoke enhances some. Both types of smoke contain carcinogens and particulate matter that promotes inflammatory immune responses that may enhance the carcinogenic effects of the smoke. However, cannabis typically down-regulates immunologically-generated free radical production by promoting a Th2 immune cytokine profile. Furthermore, THC inhibits the enzyme necessary to activate some of the carcinogens found in smoke. In contrast, tobacco smoke increases the likelihood of carcinogenesis by overcoming normal cellular checkpoint protective mechanisms through the activity of respiratory epithelial cell nicotine receptors. Cannabinoids receptors have not been reported in respiratory epithelial cells (in skin they prevent cancer), and hence the DNA damage checkpoint mechanism should remain intact after prolonged cannabis exposure. Furthermore, nicotine promotes tumor angiogenesis whereas cannabis inhibits it. It is possible that as the cannabis-consuming population ages, the long-term consequences of smoking cannabis may become more similar to what is observed with tobacco. However, current knowledge does not suggest that cannabis smoke will have a carcinogenic potential comparable to that resulting from exposure to tobacco smoke."
 
The most motivated guy I know was a weed dealer who started up a few dispensary’s and then snack shops
Now he’s starting his own cannabis brand
He smokes all day, yet dosent stop working, up first thing morning, still works out regularly
He’s rich as fuck now
He’ll smoke a phat joint then drink a crazy health smoothie
I use to just hang out in the back room, trying all the new strains and having BBQs out back
Shit was the life lol, so much free weed


I smoked/vaped heavy for 20 years, every day
I quit cold turkey a year ago
Was grumpy for like a week
Sleep issues took a few months to get regular
It was minor
I still have ounce in the stash and a jar of concentrates
Haven’t thought about touching it
And I’m a long term cancer patient on top, chemo every month
 
good fi him mi hear scrappin' mad stressful
 
And then there's this dude...
