The bulk of my writing is done for a pot-savvy audience, so it usually goes without saying that certain “cultural perceptions” about cannabis are wrong. To correct these marijuana myths to a crowd of potheads would be a classic case of singing to (an albeit higher) choir.

Click here for the Five Things You May Think You ‘Know’ About Marijuana That Aren’t True…VIDEO...http://ctpatriot1970.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/420-alert-five-things-you-may-thin...

As editor of a pot website, I live and breathe marijuana (see what I did there?) every day, and have a great chance to fully inform myself.

But when speaking to members of the general public, I’m often struck (and stop that! It hurts) with the wide prevalence of beliefs about marijuana that have been scientifically disproven for years.

How many of these myths have you trusted lately?

    • A blast from the past:" Folks.are you smoking more but enjoying it less ? "
      Then always remember our slogan L-S-M-F-T.Lucky Stikes mean fine tobacco."
      Original tobacco wasn't the heavily adulterated crap they sell in modern times.
      The burly was actualy fresh, and tasty for unfiltered smokes.God forbid the big
      tobacco companies ever try to market Cannabis. The weed killer poisonous
      chemicals they use to destroy the soil will ruin even the most hardy Cannabis
      stains, and turn an ultra valuable commodity into toxic waste.

    • Smoking anything is not a bright idea anyway, but if one must
      there are less harmful ways to accomplish it. Some people use
      either rice papers or roll the cola flowers in natural Cannabis
      leaf and make cigars out of their spliffs. The other way is much
      better still. Since you would not reasonably expect a warm, wet
      medium like the lungs to accomodate hot, dry smoke, the idea
      is to filter it through a water pipe with a menthol filter. Menthol
      is the product of mint oils which also have anesthetic medicinal
      herbal properties. The oils from the Spearmint or Peppermint
      plants are topical anesthetics and sooth any irritated/burned
      tissue until it has a chance to heal naturaly. I like to think about
      water pipes with menthol filters as plasma fluorescent lamps
      over the obsolete incandescent bulbs. You'll last a whole lot longer.

      I live in central New York, and my friend Paul who bought his Persian Hookah
      in 1972 had one of the delux jeweled ones. It was a full sized hashish pipe in
      which you could unscrew the top from the middle pipe fitting. The middle pipe
      fitting itself was screwed onto the lower pipe stand containing the fluid chamber.
      There were actualy 2 interim chambers in the pipe, now that I recall. One at
      the top middle was to resinate some Cannabis, and the one below it was the
      chamber in which you could insert a menthol cartridge, or strawberry flavoring
      cartridge if you chose to. It's actualy the pipe manufacturer which would have
      more direct contact with the accessories associated with the hookah pipe.The
      marketing outlet (as in a head shop or smoke shop) personel who sell this type
      of pipe in say San Francisco, would know more than I about what's currently
      available for the hookahs they sell.

      But a faster, cheaper, and simpler way to save would be to simply buy a metal
      water pipe with a stout stand, then brew some mint tea. Your local natural
      health food store or oriental/Indian tea store would likely have both Spearmint
      and Peppermint tea leaves available for sale. A combination of 1/4 lb. of both
      types would make a good blend. After boiling some combo mint tea until the concentration is strong, you could then simply pour the mint tea (containing
      the menthol) into the fluid chamber of your water pipe and be good to go.

    • Ah, Cheech Marin & Tommy Chong.. 2 of the most "overmedicated"
      comedians the world has ever seen. The myth about 1 J of herb
      = 20 tobacco cigarettes is such a whopping lie that it sounds like
      a group of idiots, imbeciles, and morons were brainstorming to
      invent that myth. First of all it presumes falsely that people need to
      burn it to dose with it. A total non sequitur. The same inhalers that
      people use will do the delivery job even better, and will spare the
      precious commodity. After that it's simply a matter of chewing it,
      eating it in a salad or baking it in some toklas brownies.

      For the sake of rational argument, even if people were to burn it
      and pollute their lungs with soot and ash and other particulate
      matter...which is not a bright thing to do considering all the oily
      resins that crap will combine with to choke off the alveoli in the
      lungs, and hamper breathing...the retards forgot that it has the
      effect of dilating the bronchial passenges anyway...And also
      because cannabinoids have an anti inflamatory effect, it will
      not cause swelling to aggravate any pre existing conditions
      like asthma. File that debunked myth under mensa rejects.

      Well it's like this. In my previous life on Earth, I've supersaturated myself with
      so much hashish. hash oil, Jamacian # 1, and Acapulco Gold etc..that it's like
      blasting out of Earth's gravity as light speed. Once you attain that flight path
      and velocity without any gravity to hold you back, the sheer momentum is
      enough to carry you forward for a lifetime. So, as loco as it sounds, I don't
      have to get high to be high anymore.
