Well okay but the difference here is you average smoker is smoking 25 grams of tobacco/day whereas someone smoking 25grams of hydro everyday is going to have heavier and more immediate problems than the possability of cancer, imo.


The other difference of course is tobacco companies are still making money hand over fist with tobacco, meanwhile this represents an unfair buisness practice since I too have access to a naturally grown substance that is addictive, causes major health problems and offers absolutely no benifit except looking cool, (just like tobacco). I call it 'candy' but you might know it better as crack, heroin and pot. I fail to see why the tobacco companies can sell their product and I can't start up my own business.

I would also just mention for the heck of it that even heroin has very little in the way of harmful side effects that stem directly from the drug. Simply slowing down your metabolism is not so bad (mind you they end up forgetting to eat properly etc etc).



Just sayin.

So if it's flagged as spam until a moderator approves it, then wtf? I think it was the drug names in caps.


Anyways Patton, um, I hear ya. I wasn't trying to make heroin sound inoculate by any stretch. I agree the addiction, leading to long term usage and the effect that come with that would be a "harmful side effect that directly stems from the drug". Was that the gist of it?

This study is irrelevant since cannabis is smoked mixed with normal tabacco.

But those who smoke tabbacco only when they smoke cannabis some much less than regular cigarette smokers.

Now compared to alcohol, cannabis is innofensive.
Alcohol is not only a drug, it's poison. It's a poison before it's a drug: It damage your brain much before it become addictive.

... the weird thing: I've recently stopped smoking and haven't lit up in about a month... and I have had chronic pain in my heart ever since. May be heart burn - but I never used to get it when I smoked pot.

Yes, it's anectodal... but I felt like sharing...

As for weed, there is one major difference between it and alcohol/ciggerettes. Weed is not physically addictive. If used sparingly, no major problems occur, and in fact, the benefits are discovered... much like red wine.

What is red wine?

I think you might be referring to scotch, bourbon or whiskey....but..... If used sparingly....say two fingers of a 12yr old scotch on the rocks after work should cause no major problems occur.....

I'm reporting this to the mods. Scotch on the rocks? Heresy!!
