Please, that is nonsense. Alot of studies show Mobile phones or even bad air cn alter your DNA.

i gave abou 4 or 5 links that say you are wrongGeniusNProgress said:As far as marijuana leading to other "harder" drugs, that's BS.
you gave me links to sites with people that agree with your point of view..nothing of substance. The fact that the majority of major heavy drug users have used marijuana at some point just goes with what I said that if someone is inclined to get high, and enjoys the euphoria...than it's only logical to assume they started at the easiest attained, milder drug...marijuana. There is no proof that marijuana in any way compells someone to try stronger mind altering substances.leopold99 said:i gave abou 4 or 5 links that say you are wrong

which is exactly why i avoided anti drug sitesduendy said:and if your argument is 'ban marijuana cause it leads to harder drugs'? ytou should watch the well good and well funny film 'Grass'. narrated by Woddy Harrilson it shows exactly the absurdity ofStat propaganda about cannbis. they have tried all kinds of ridiculous ploys since the 30s to demonize weed.
i never said marijuana makes you killduendy said:...well like, rrrr what happend to marijuana makes you kill??
what happened to that leopold
but listen. EVEN if it does. that is no reason whatsoever for you and your cronies to tell people who use it they cant use it. to tell people they cannpot grow plants. you are facists when you do this. trying ti impose your idsras and practices onto others who do not want it. ANDit will NEVER work. so give itup already
i never said marijuana makes you kill

The Effects of LSD on Chromosomes said:...These children received LSD daily in two divided dosages of 100 to 150 micrograms for a period of weeks or months. The frequency of chromosome breakage in this group was less than 2 percent and did not differ from that of the control group...
RoyLennigan said:i think i had a momentarly lapse of reason there. i know that anything can potentially affect the copying of chromosomes in the body, and that is how cancer forms. i guess that is what i was saying, but it means that we're both right and i was a bit wrong.
i think these articles were saying that damage is mostly done by causing a greater chance for mutation to occur in the process of cell division. i'm not sure if the usage of lsd or cell phones can cause damage to existing cells (though the wording makes it look as if it does).
actually, it isn't unlikely. in fact its so likely that it even happens to people who aren't exposed to large amounts of radiation or carcinogens. mutations are normal in the sense that they have so many different causes, it is hard to track them all down. also, mutations are not always harmful (though they are most of the time).Ricky Houy said:Well, it's all about how you look at it. See what if it were to go like this i.e. (your genes were altered by bad air or cellphones or even marijuana and you had been using both for a long period of time and want to have a child. When you conceive your child has mutations. Due to the fact that your DNA had been altered because of this.) Although I must admit it is highly unlikely it could still happen correct?

but yes, it would be safe to say that people who are exposed to more carcinogens have a better chance of having more mutations than others. also, drugs like marijuana have a much higher chance of affecting chromosomes in germ (reproductive) cells than body cells. but only when the chemicals from marijuana are still in the bloodstream. once they are gone, that chance is gone with them. that is why pregnant women are advised not to drink or do other drugs. but i think that men and women who plan to have a child should also not do any kinds of drugs for at least a few weeks before conception.
the reason your child would have mutations (if you are exposed to things that cause dna mutation) is not because your own body cells are mutated, but because the 'half-cells' created by your reproductive system are mutated; the egg and sperm cells.
whoa there cowboyRoyLennigan said:ok i stand slightly corrected. mutations seems to occur in somatic cells even naturally. but drugs like LSD and marijuana don't seem to have a large effect on this, as shown by the link you included.

i never said marijuana causes cell damage or dna damage
