Cell Phone Users Should Smoke Pot
Recent studies have shown that cell phones potentially cause brain tumors in people using it 30min or more per day
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7733586/Mobile-phone-study-reveals-cancer-concerns-over-heavy-users.html

and what a coincidence!
Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74

"In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice"

http://www.alternet.org/story/9257

The solution is obvious. Prevention is key.

4. I don't even want to listen to the other half of the conversation
as people yell into those damned things all over the place.

5. Reminds me of a call I got from a friend one night while she was making a Margarita Pie
I was sure she'd had too much to drink, or something else. I saw her at work the next day, she brought the pie in to share with everyone, and it was great! She did say her kitchen was an unbelievable mess, though.

I suspect that might have been my first experience with a stoner call. :rofl:

2. Could we make it a requirement?
If we'd require cell phone users to smoke pot, it could lower the impact they have on our government medical costs. You know, like the taxes on tobacco products. If the end result is the same, why is not a good idea. I'd volunteer for a study if you like!

3. The article says that cell phone statistic is 'flawed.' The link is 'inconclusive.' nt

8. might as well err on the side of caution eh?
I'm sure we could come up with a long list of things that were 'safe' until we found out they weren't.

10. YAY for text messaging!
I hardly talk on my phone. The 3,500+ minutes of rollover prove it.

They'll have to switch Domino's over to 911, so people don't forget the number.
