      Nicotine also does damage to the brain. Plus if they are old enough to have been breathing in leaded gasoline and everything else, there is no hope for them.

        And MDMA eats holes in your brain.

        And if you take Acid once, you will randomly go on “phantom trips” every month or so for the rest of your life.

        Just keep watching “Reefer Madness” on repeat as a documentary and dont worry about splashing your stupid on the interwebz.

      My favorite part is the idea that horrible damage suddenly happens in your 70s and 80s, as if decades of long term use can’t possibly add up to something.

        That is exactly what the debunk found though.

        Somewhere in the 70s they found a dude with complete liver and kidney failure who was in his 80s. He was a smoker.

        After autopsy, they too HIS lung, one guy, took a pic, and paraded it around America saying “this is what all smoker’s lungs look like.”

        It was a patent lie.

        The body is fully capable of filtering out waste and pissing and shitting it out… until the excretory system fails. Then sepsis sets in and a person dies of sepsis.

        God, the sheer unadulterated stupidity of you loud mouth prohibitionist asshats…
