llbcherry 591 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You know, it could be a rolled cigarette. Some of my friends buy specialty tobacco and roll them up. (And it is completely IDENTICAL in appearance to a joint. Someone said "that is NOT a rolled cigarette." Sorry, but as I said, unless you make your cigarettes with a tube that has a filter, they look exactly like a joint!) In addition, she is holding it between her index and middle fingers, like a cigarette. Usually, when people are smoking a J, they hold it between their thumb and index finger. If not, it doesn't bother me, but I don't think it was a good idea to put it on social media. Whether it's a joint or rolled cigarette, it looks like a joint, and if media runs with it, some people will be rubbed the wrong way. Lots of people these days are pro-marijuana... But many don't want their children's idols to condone it, for obvious reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe using filter was the wrong word but it is not harmful to the lungs. It is, anything that enters your lungs that isn't warm humid air is harmful, she is burning a leaf, a lot of burning hot carbon is entering her respiratory system, which causes a response from the epithelium. Let's say that it is less harmful than normal cigarettes, which has hundreds of oxidant cancerigenous substances, okay? Is that good for you?

notamember 667 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just now, Red said: - Cannabis does indeed have isolated substances that are anti-convulsivant. That doesn't mean weed is a medicine per se. You need to filter what is good from it. It is like saying eating burgers is good for your health cause it has fiber from the lettuce. - It does have a lot of negative effects, addiction being one of them (yes) - She is still putting a lot of antigens in her lungs and respiratory which causes inflammatory responses aka damage Those isolated substances can treat way more than just epilepsi, including chronic pain, depression, inflammation, anxiety, headaches and migraines, arthritis, MS, and lupus symptoms. Your brain and immune system have a Cannabinoid Receptor system, and your body CREATES its own THC, called anandamide. When your body has an anandamide deficiency, it causes stress, anxiety, and depression, and can lead to more severe immune deficiency. ONLY psychological addiction, not physical. Only 9% of people who try marijuana become psychologically addicted, and you can be psychologically addicted to ANYTHING, so that argument becomes irrelevant. If there are other side effects other than paranoia, dry mouth, increased appetite, or with some occasional strains, headache, I'd love to know about them, because no one has ever had any Not to mention, it's theoretically impossible to overdose from. You are correct about antigens, but that damage is nothing like what a cigarette causes, and it can not cause cancer. In fact, smoking marijuana DECREASES your chances of getting lung cancer. It is better to vaporize medical marijuana because then you aren't smoking the carbon plant fibers and such, but still getting the effects. Eating it in food is even safer than smoking or vaporizing.

They are flowers, just to clarify. It's been used as a medicine for thousands of years alone and in tinctures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petty 9,412 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 i knew this post would be messy. some of you are so young and sheltered - it's sad. the fact that you think you can stick to your wrong opinions when marijuana is out here curing diseases and help people get through hard times without taking a negative toll on their life. wake up because you sound ignorant if you still think weed is a drug in this day and age.

Okay, you are ignoring the part of the isolated substances so Imma ignore your first point. Let's talk about the other side effects of cannabis like immediate sensory reduction, paranoid episodes if you have the predisposition, long-therm effects like depression of the immune and nervous system... many many many. Even if you vape, your immune system is depressed, which will affect your respiratory tract somehow since it is one of the most vulnerable. I did find the article you guys are saying about it decreasing lung cancer, but I think it is really a reach to say you should smoke weed to decrease your chances of having lung cancer, how about not smoking at all and staying away from air pollution? Weed does have its pros, it relaxes and stuff but please don't come saying "marijuana is a medicine!! it has no side effects!!! it is good for your lungs!!!!"

Nicole 1,809 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 - Gaga is an adult who is capable of making her own decisions regarding her use of any substance - In the event that she is using a harmful substance of any kind, she will have to deal with potential health risks that may come about in the future. It is not in our right to demand her to stop. Gaga has implied in the past that her heavy use of marijuana was one of an addictive nature and was used an a coping mechanism which inevitably led to her addiction. So yes I can understand that fans might be a little bit concerned when they see her smoking it again due to such associations Gaga has made. However, there is absolutely no evidence that she smoking constantly and she has only spoken highly of the people around her, specifically what she has said about Bobby - who values her health above anything. So - I don't see why a casual joint, or even its medical use is harmful. She has said she suffers from anxiety, she has said she suffers from chronic pain - why can't she take advantage substances such as medical cannabis in that it alleviates symptoms of such?

Red 97,999 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I just wanna make it clear that I don't really give a **** if Gaga or anyone in the world smokes weed. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
