More teens smoke pot than cigarettes, says CDC survey

[quote]A government survey shows more teens are now smoking pot than cigarettes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that 23 percent of high school students said they recently smoked marijuana, while 18 percent said they had puffed cigarettes. The survey asked teens about a variety of risky behaviors.
For decades, the number of teens who smoke has been on the decline. Marijuana use has fluctuated, and recently rose. At times, pot and cigarette smoking were about the same level, but last year marked the first time marijuana use was clearly greater.
An earlier survey by the University of Michigan also found that pot smoking was higher. A Michigan expert said teens today apparently see marijuana as less dangerous than cigarettes.[/quote]

Honestly, people that smoke cigarettes these days that aren't in some ridiculously high stress job are complete morons.
Bath salts
I can't decide what to think about this.
Everybody in my family died of overdosing on the evil marijuana.
The only survivors got AIDS from reusing weed needles.
Both are bad (smoking anything is bad for you), but weed is probably less harmful

Weed doesn't have 5,000 toxic chemicals added to have "flavor."

Most people smoke weed with tobbaco so that's not really true either.
All these dirty criminals admitting their crimes. Shame US is low on lethal injections

Who does that exactly?
I've never seen anybody do that. Or even heard of it.

It's a regional thing. Really I've only ever heard of people smoking weed with tobacco in Europe. In America, or at least the area where I live, it's incredibly common to smoke pure weed. In black communities, and more recently in some white communities, it's also common to smoke pure weed out of a tobacco cigar wrapper (a blunt), which I guess could be considered a mix, but other than that, not a single person I've ever met, nor anyone any of them has ever met, mixes their weed with tobacco.
In fact I'd never even heard of mixed joints and I'd never even seen one of those cones with the filters until I got the internet and saw pics of them from Europe. If you busted something like that out around here, it'd probably be a conversation piece.
Overall I'd say this is good. On one hand it's bad that more people are smoking pot, but on the other it's good that less are smoking cigarettes.

i've only ever heard of people doing it in Europe and I for sure don't.
It would be best if people just stopped smoking in general.

I think the main difference is, that Americans smoke marijuana and Europeans smoke hash.

cigarette threads are always such a joy, we have the moral-people who bitch about smoking, and the people bitching at people bitching about cigarettes.

am i the only one who thinks that huge hash block looks hilarious
"lemme just pack this bowl" *jams a brick in the top of the pipe*
In other news the Swedish police just released statements that the growing of marijuana in Sweden is widely surpassing the illegal creation of spirits. They said Sweden is almost self sufficient in weed.
There is an obvious trend going on for sure. Now I gotta water my tomato plants.

I quit smoking cigarettes the other day, because i wanted to. I don't feel any desire to quit smoking weed.
