A Lung Expanding, Tumor Preventing Miracle [Science Says So]
You know how it takes a lot of practice to work up the lung capacity to successfully take a huge bong hit without keeling over coughing, eyes watering and nose dripping while your throat burns. Experienced marijuana smokers, who have put in years of work to transcend this physical trauma can now revel in the recent findings by researchers at the University of Otago’s Dunedin School of Medicine in New Zealand.
They found that the long-term use of cannabis was associated with a variety of beneficial attributes to the smoker’s lungs. These included “higher forced vital capacity,” “higher total lung capacity” and “higher airways resistance.” Such daunting physiological terms may be hard to fully comprehend, but what’s certain is that the herb helps build a resilient set of lungs.
But for those of us who also smoke tobacco, these positive associations do not apply.
