Maybe if you plug it and leave it there it will turn into an infection in your rectum? Otherwise no.

Well it sure ain't going to make you healthier...
The way I see it, we have a pre-destined death, so I smoke like a chimney.

It might take 20 mins or 20 seconds but definately not 20 hours. Who knows though. How does someone come up with calculations like this??

There is some kind of saying that cigarettes take 7 minutes off your life or something so I think it's a spinoff of that.

if you are worried about your health, stop smoking it in joints with tobacco. try vaporizing or eating. then you avoid most of the nasty stuff.

Well...
The theory was for cigarettes. It basically takes the average number of years smokers live less than nonsmokers and divide that by the number of cigarettes the average smoker has smoked. lets do such a thing for bluntsmoking
-----
Lets say the average person lives to be 75 Lets say the average daily potsmoker lives to be 70 Lets say the average daily potsmoker smokes 5 a day and starts at 20
50 years = 18.250 days x 5 = 91.250 blunts 5 years = 1.825 days less = 2.628.000 minutes 2.628.000 minutes : 91.250 blunts = 29 minutes
-----
We are nut certain how many years of your life are taken by a lifetime of bluntsmoking, so this calculation is a "what if" situation. In this what if situation we arrive at half an hour instead of 20 hours, which makes me very suspicious of 20 hours.
Moral of the story: Do not smoke. At all. Use a vaporizer or better yet: eat your weed.
Weed belongs in the cookiejar, not the ashtray.
Whatever the risks of *smoked* cannabis may be, they are avoided altogether if you eat your weed and the high lasts 6-12 hours then too.

I wish I would have started vaping along time ago before I smoke huge bongs all day for years. It started getting to the point where I would get chest pains. That couldn't be healthy.

i dont think its true though,according to erowid, scientists got the theory one joint is equal to four cigaretts from the amount of tar on a pot plant and the amount of tar in a cigarette.and which a lot of people dont know is tar is not what causes cancer,its the radioactiviy in cigaretts that does.and i meant 20 mintues,not hours.
