California may have legalized cannabis today!

[Nemix]

when you say drugs people think of heroine (pierce veins lol) or cocaine

but actually smoking and drinking is more harmfull then weed

 

[Avenger]

Heroin is often smoked or inhaled, too. If you're crazy enough, you'll get your opiate high with laudanum (basically a solution with liquid in it which you consume orally). I wouldn't say smoking is more harmful than weed, since there's been at least one study showing that smoking cannabis can lead to prostate cancer (ironically enough, since it seems to have a beneficial effect on all other forms of cancer).

@Nemix:

That study is full of ****. I checked it out, and it's done by bringing in two 'specialists', and having them rate everything by how dangerous they 'think' things are. Overall that entire study seemed sketchy at best.

I'm going to go ahead and say tobacco is a hell of a lot worse than weed:

As far as actual deaths, alcohol and tobacco beat out drugs by quite a bit in the US:

I can understand why they'd be rated worse than marijuana or shrooms.

 

[Mkilbride]

Weed is worse than Anthrax for the body.

 

[Prozac]

Weed is worse than Anthrax for the body.

Okai.

 

[Spunky]

Weed is worse than Anthrax for the body.

I laughed. Can you name a harmful strain without Googling first? I doubt it. There are thousands of strains of marijuana as far as I know. It depends on the strain and the grower. This is like the five-thousandth time you've failed to do any research before posting. Unless you're smoking **** that's cut with heroin, weed has mostly beneficial effects on the body with the exception of the lungs and brain, but it's not significantly harmful to either.

Maybe he was high when he wrote that.

Or he's just being the devils advocate? I seriously doubt that anyone would actually write that seriously

Tobacco is only that much worse because there are that many more people using a lot of it on a constant basis. The habits that tobacco companies have made you develop (smoking a pack a day) are meant to be good for their wallets, not for their clients. I assure you that if you smoke weed every day, you're not going to end up healthy after doing it fo 40 years. Anyway, Prozac had the solution. Smoking tobacco wouldn't be a problem at all if you smoked it as little as you smoked weed (generally speaking).

There are two ways to use tobacco: smoke it, or dip it. Both ways will **** you up. Marijuana can be used in a variety of ways, all of them far less lethal than dipping or smoking tobacco because it isn't simply the act of smoking that kills you; it's the special ingredients found within. I don't know anyone retarded enough to "enrich" their weed with radioactive materials, either, so it has that going for it. When 1 in 5 dies because of weed, opinions will change to reflect the facts.

 

[Deathshot]

Personally, I think everything can kill someone somehow.

I am just surprised they haven't found out that Milk is giving us Cancer or something along those lines. If you catch where I am going with this.

I'll start by saying I smoke and drink and enjoy both.

However RE: the alcohol vs. weed debate, I just wanna say that any substance when abused will **** you up. Alcohol isn't worse in the sense that the affects are worse, but rather it's abused more. Hypothetically if Marijuana is legalized, you could have people treating it the same way that they treat alcohol (i.e. smoke and drive as opposed to drink and drive, both are likely to cause casualties).

I also know people who used to smoke everyday for years and are pretty messed up, and guys who drink everyday and are generally fine. It really comes down to the individual and isn't necessarily a direct relation to the drug itself.

The real problem is addiction and abuse of these substances, which is psychological more than anything.

 

[Zeonix]

I think the point of the study was that the effects of alcohol on your body actually are worse than weed.

 

[Nuttzy]

to be perfectly honest, I dont understand what all the fuss is about.


Was the fact that it was illegal stop you potheads from using it? nope
Is this recent failure going to stop you from using it? of course not

just sit back and enjoy what you have been doing anyways legal or not, before this was even thought about.

 

[Zeonix]

It shouldn't be illegal in the first place. No one should have the right to tell me what I can and can not do with my body, provided it doesn't infringe on the rights of others. I don't even smoke. It's just the principle of it all.
