Just started smoking again in October.

[Aristus]

3. I have no medical objection to marijuana as a recreational drug.

I advise all of my patients who use (and there are a lot of them here in Washington State) not to smoke it.

The bioavailability of THC in marijuana that is smoked is about 27%. The bioavailability of THC in edibles is about 9% from what I understand. So I'm sure smoking it gives you a better high. A study was published last year that concludes that marijuana smoke is not as bad for you as tobacco smoke. But you're still inhaling the by-products of combustion. i.e. carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc.

I hope you'll start using edibles instead.

Either way, enjoy!

I can't believe we spent so many years and so many billions of dollars keeping cannabis illegal, when the deadliest drugs known to man are nicotine and alcohol, and they're legal.
