alisonwonderland.

senior at virginia commonwealth university, walking a thin line between fear and joy at the freedoms (and downfalls) of my upcoming full-fledged adulthood.

it's no longer definable what i blog about but as a person i'm trying to be more conscious of myself and the world (and how we all relate within it).

i'm also a weed smoker and i blog a lot about that too.

disclaimer: none of the photos posted are mine (unless stated) nor am i trying to take credit for them, if you see your work and want credit message me :)

theatlantic: Moderate Marijuana Use Less Damaging Than Tobacco METHODOLOGY: Researchers led by epidemiologist Mark J. Pletcher used a large national database with more than 5,000 respondents to compare the lung function of marijuana and tobacco smokers over a 20-year period. They looked closely at their use of marijuana and tobacco, and measured for airflow and lung volume at years 0, 2, 5, 10 and 20. (Airflow is the amount of air you can blow out of your lungs in one second while lung volume refers to the total amount of air you can blow out after taking the deepest breath possible.) RESULTS: Repeated inhalation of tobacco smoke causes loss of airflow and lung volumes. Marijuana smoke, however, had the opposite effect, increasing both airflow rates and capacity. CONCLUSION: Unlike cigarette smoke, use of marijuana does not result in lasting respiratory harm.

    I know so many people who will be pretty excited about this. But they don’t care because they were going to be smoking...
