I'll smoke to that 
Just for the record I in no way believe you can live to 120 smoking weed and eating McDonalds everyday
This is just to show the naysayers(MFT) that smoking weed is not harmful and can actually be part of a healthy long life.
Don't trick yourself into thinking weed is the sole reason this lady lived to 120, she ate food that was probably grown herself or by neighbors and lived in a pristine environment. Most of us can attempt to recreate this lifestyle tho

Smoking weed is not harmful? What planet are you from? 1 lady means smoking weed is not harmful? Did she even smoke it? How do we even know? Some people have different genetics, they are outliers in populations, and there are countless variables involved in what you're saying. I'm so tired of hearing braindead comments like "Smoking weed doesn't harm you!" It's like I'm 13 again!
Someone's rock bottom standards of living, mentally and physically, don't mean smoking weed is harmless. Other people have higher standards for mental and physical well being, and it's obvious that smoking anything, not to mention a drug that changes the mental foundation of that well being, is not without damage or detriment to daily living.
If you sit around and grow weed all day, or work at a convenience store, sure, maybe you can get by with smoking weed every day. If you're serious about athletics, and use your mind heavily on a daily basis, then it will obviously be harder to get by, or, maybe you will, but you'll do it a lot crappier than without weed. It's a drug, and smoking is harmful, period. Some people just choose to live with the damage while others minimize it, and we all weight the benefits vs the damage that using/smoking mj induces. Ignoring that is just stupid and that kind of disregard is heavy in the mj community, sadly.
Cue the "But but but I got a PhD/Master's so it must be ok!"...I'm tired of hearing the BS to excuse the reality of being a mj addict, at least acknowledge reality, jeezzz

I don't know, strictly speaking from personal experience I have had periods (years) in my life where I smoked daily, and periods (such as the past several years) where I smoke perhaps a couple times a year. (I do have to use my mind heavily on a daily basis, but I'm not speaking to athleticism)
I haven't noticed it being easier or harder either way. My biggest leaps forward in my career were while I was smoking daily (though it was also early in my career where big jumps were more common).
What do you base your 'you'll do it a lot crappier than without weed. ' hypothesis on?

Im basing this on every day use. Everyone is different, every career is different, and some people may benefit from every day use, but they're in the minority.
There's a reason that the best doctors in the country, for example, don't smoke weed every day. There's a reason that the majority of surgeons don't smoke weed every day. There's a reason that the best athletes (and the majority) don't smoke weed every day. There's a reason that most engineers in the world don't smoke weed every day. It goes on and on and on and on.
Any 1 person can say "Weed helped me during the biggest leaps forward!" By and large though, when you look at this as a whole, weed hinders these kinds of things, unless you've convinced yourself that without it you'd be worse off if not using daily (these people either convince themselves of the validity of their habit, or they are in the minority and have unbalanced mental capacity/other problems for which mj helps assuage).
Please pardon my asshole attitude. I haven't smoked weed in a while (See, Im willing to admit that I've convinced myself that exercise alone + alcohol isn't enough to keep me from being a type A personality douchebag). Everyone's different. But smoking weed every day isn't "harmless" and it isn't going to make you live past your 100s. I'm fuckin tired of hearing that weed is harmless, it's fuckin stupid.

And I'm tired of coming to my favorite MARIJUANA grow site and hearing some random dude talk about how bad cannabis is and how addicted we all are etc. etc.
Get a clue bro, theirs plenty of sites where you can bash weed smokers. I don't consider this one.
You have voiced your opinion numerous times and I'm fairly sure most on this site disagree. Maybe the people over at freevibe are more your crowd?
You make wild assumptions that are based on your opinions and your basically bashing everyone on this site. Do you even smoke weed? lol
But smoking weed every day isn't "harmless" and it isn't going to make you live past your 100s.
prove it?

You mean the same doctors that eat crap everyday?? The same doctors who are overweight?? The same doctors who put all there faith in pharmaceuticals?
The funny thing is you probably preach about how unhealthy weed is while your eating a whopper with a large coke.
foaf thinks she lived so old more because of a healthy lifestyle filled with hard work and she wasn't eating crap food with preservatives and made from GMO's (genetically modified). anybody in the U.S. that eats/drinks anything with corn in the label and isn't organic is made from GMO corn, probably roundup ready corn. im sure some of you will want to read up about how bad for your body GMO ingredients actually are.the government is allowing food industry to poison us. GMO crops don't even yield more, they just make more money. only way to know for sure you are eating non-gmo and pesticide free is to buy organic.
sorry for the rant. there are many reasons to smoke marijuana. living a long time isn't one of them.

I don't bash weed, I just try to view the world realistically, and object to living in a 13 year old's dreamworld saying "Weed is harmless!" and "Smoke weed if you want to live to 120!" Fucking retarded.
Why not? I totally agree with the post but there is evidence that smoking weed will lead to a long life. We have scientific evidence(certain cannabinoids) and we have real life evidence!
I think people need to realize that maybe smoking isn;t as bad as they think, there is a village in japan where almost everyone lives past 90 and they smoke packs of cigarettes a day. The oldest person smoked most her life, as did a lot of other centenarians. Smoking has only become bad recently with the introduction of mass made toxic cigarettes(marlboro anyone?)
Ok tell me why it is retarded?
This lady lived to 120, she smoked everyday? What am I not getting?
How is weed harmful? Do you know the exact mechanism?? Unless you do stfu

We went over this in the last thread, it's not worth the time
What did we go over?? how ignorant you are and how you really don't know shit?
You act like your so smart but you have no idea what weed actually does, everything you say is entirely assumption based or based on someone research(which you haven't recreated or verified).
You belittle me for my opinion that weed is healthy, that makes me a 13 year old somehow?? lol
Your probably some stoner loser who fucked his whole life up smoking weed everyday and never getting anything accomplished, so now you look back and blame it all on the weed. FYI it wasn't the weed.
Your athletic argument is bullshit, didn't we go over in the other thread how you have no proof it hinders any athletic ability? How most athletes use marijuana to unwind and deal with aches/pains?

I really enjoy the the herb smoking it and injesting it in all it's forms. But I have to stop every now and then as it effects my vocabalory and I need to make speech's every so often in my work. I work in the creative industry and find cannabis to be very good at expanding this and this is when I get my best idea's.
When I stop I usually notice a big jump in my outlook on life in general and find I can be very productive in other way's I would not bother while using cannabis.
Just my experience.
