I used to smoke everyday for like 3 months at one period. I used to study a lot and then at nights chill with my friends. I passed the most exams that semester in university. I would study a lot and then at nights I would enjoy a good chill. Now you will be addicted if you are not a happy person in general because cannabis brings temporal happines. You have to know yourself very well and cannabis itself will help you find out sometimes if you use it correctly. Instead of playing video games or watching random shit sit and talk while high with a friend and discusss life matters and you will realize a lot. Try to smoke with moderation because your body will get used to THC and the high won't be the same. Cannabis never hurt me and the only problem that I could ever have would be with the police.(fuck the police)
I haven't smoked in days now and I haven't experienced what the video says about addiction and I was a heavy weed smoker.
[QUOTE=papaya;45429181]I don't know why people use this as an argument for making weed legal
if they're a thousand times worse than weed, shouldn't we be banning alcohol and tobacco instead?
of course, because prohibition has proven that taking something thats already legal and widely used and making it illegal is more trouble than it's worth, it's much safer to just leave weed as illegal, rather than making it legal, realising the shit is dangerous and then not being able to take it away because of the "right to get fucked up" or something. That way we only have two harmful but legal substances rather than three[/QUOTE]
Christ you're a shitposter and a half. Yes completely ignore all of the social aspects of the so called "war on drugs". Just because its illegal it will not disappear and you will be supporting criminals instead of legit businesses when you do obtain it.
What prohibition has proven is that making any psychoactive substance illegal is more trouble than its worth.
then clearly the solution is to be harsher on drug users so that people won't be supporting criminals because they won't be buying it
Pure propaganda bullshit. Aspirin is more dangerous. Ibuprofen is more dangerous. I could go on and on. Where are the videos of tainted foods with GMOs killing us? Or the video about high fructose corn syrup giving everyone high blood pressure, diabetes? Oh that's right. It isn't there. This propagnada video is exactly what ALL the pharma companies want you to believe so you can take all those "safe" (BUT MORE DANGEROUS) drugs from their company and give them way more money. They certainly do not want to have something someone can get in their backyard and not pay hundreds of dollars to them for relief.They do not want that. They want sick people who get sicker. They want you to get sick, spend your life savings on their fake medicine that makes you sicker. This is who makes these junk info videos and the people that peddle them around need to go get bent.

Clearly the solution is to decriminalize/legalize drugs, properly educate people about the effects and safe consumption, regulate them and reasonably tax them, and fix the underlying problems like poverty, unemployment and depression.
Take a look at Colorado for example after legalization of cannabis, made millions from the taxes, and reduced the amount of crime not to mention all these poor guys who would have been locked up otherwise.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45428278]No, it's just as unhealthy as cigarettes, smoking kills your lungs, especially if you smoke for a ridiculous amount of time like some potheads out there.[/QUOTE]
but people smoke a lot more cigarettes per day when compared to marijuana
there are people who only smoke weed on the weekends. there are people who smoke a joint everyday. there's people that smoke 2, 3 or 4 joints per day, but that's not as common, yet you see people who go through an entire pack of cigarettes every day all the time

I've never smoked anything before, how is the smoke from weed any different from tobacco? I'm talking pure weed vs pure tobacco not the tar infested stuff. I really have little knowledge on this but wouldn't the health risks be the same? Either way it's burnt plant matter isn't it?
To the people questioning whether or not marijuana smoke is the same as cigarette smoke, refer to the article I posted: [url]http://www.webmd.com/lung-cancer/news/20060523/pot-smoking-not-linked-to-lung-cancer[/url]
Largest study of its kind. Marijuana smoke does not cause lung cancer. The biggest risk you take when smoking something is the fact that the heat destroys the cilia that line your trachea. These are tiny hair-like structures that serve as a sort of filter for your lungs. They grow back after not smoking for a while.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45429681]The health risks are the same, smoking is bad for you regardless of the plant you're smoking, all of it will tear up your lungs.[/QUOTE]
but a. like i said, people who smoke marijuana usually smoke a lot less and b. you can't say that the risks are exactly the same. i'm pretty sure different substances (and chemicals) have different effects on your health

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45429681]The health risks are the same, smoking is bad for you regardless of the plant you're smoking, all of it will tear up your lungs.[/QUOTE]you could have actually told him truth; the tar + carcinogens from cigs/tobacco leaves tar on your lungs that won't go away. Marijuana smoke leaves resin (the weed equivalent of tar) residue on your lungs; the difference being? The resin from marijuana smoke can actually erode and dissipate after a period of non-smoking. And we haven't even scratched the surface with vaporizing weed; which takes away EVERY single side effect associated with "smoke on your lungs" considering it's water vapor

Burning something and inhaling it is going to impact your lungs and body, period. The difference is that most joints don't have filters on them, whereas cigs do. Inhaling smoke from burnt organic plant matter is going to have certain short-term negative effects regardless of what it is. In some cases, especially with chronic use, longer-term health effects begin to accumulate.
However, smoking is only one way of taking cannabinoids into your body. I also have yet to meet someone who smokes more weed than a pack-and-a-half-a-day cig smoker gets through in tobacco, so the actual daily intake level isn't the same, either.
We have an entire cannabinoid receptor system, folks, and we don't even know everything it can do for us. Research has shown that there is a potential cancer-fighting effect, but a lot more work needs to be done before we can make solid conclusions. Before anyone else does, I'm also going to point out that the cannabinoid receptor system evolved long before the emergence of the species we recognize as [I]cannabis sativa[/I] and [I]indica[/I].
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45429750]We weren't talking about cigarettes this time, we were talking about smoking tobacco vs marijuana.[/QUOTE]
talking about how much a substance harms you without taking into account the amount (or the way, in this case, cigarettes) that people use is pretty pointless
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45429834]All you've said so far about the amounts of tobacco smoked is an idiotic generalization with no source.
Do people that smoke tobacco smoke more than people that smoke marijuana? Yes, but that doesn't mean every tobacco smoke goes through multiple packs a week, tobacco smokers vary in usage.[/QUOTE]
and so do weed smokers, whats your point
[editline]18th July 2014[/editline]
and if saying that tobacco smokers smoke more than weed smokers is an idiotic generalization, then congrats you just said literally the same thing
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45429953]This is basic economics shit dude, tobacco smokers make up a vastly larger portion of the world's population than marijuana smokers, and tobacco is consumed more than marijuana on average.[/QUOTE]
then don't call it an idiotic generalization?
I think people should be discouraged from smoking weed with joints, blunts, metal pipes, ect, and use bongs, vaporizers, edibles, and drinks instead. Of course that's much harder to come by when It's illegal..

tobacco(cigarettes) have a thousand times more added chemicals in 'em, like you probably know..?
only little traces though, otherwise it would probably kill too many people too fast.. not that the hundreds of thousands tobacco-related annual deaths aren't too much but.. you know?
most people mix tobacco with weed and smoke it up all the same anyway, at least most of the pot smokers that I know.

Yup, we had this Jamaican dude stranded in Finland. The hopeless fellow didn't even know how to operate a bong, and didn't really like the idea of cigarettes, especially in weed. He would also randomly sing.
But anyway I won't take your word for granted either. How could you possibly know the ratio between those that do smoke weed AND cigarettes, and those that only smoke weed? Let alone mixing it up when smoking weed.
I do sometimes (at parties or when there's a lot of friends around) smoke weed, but never tobacco alone. I would just smoke weed alone but my friends insist there's tobacco mixed because "it burns better" and that's somewhat true. Most of my friends smoke both weed and cigarettes but some switched from cigarettes to just weed.
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;45428313]Then the question is [I]who the hell actually takes tumblr or reddit as a credible source for anything[/I]?
The people I know who smoke weed are fully aware that they shouldn't be driving any kind of vehicle when high.
As for addictiveness, should add that the ones I know are able to go any length without the drug as they want without withdrawal symptoms, and a few ever quit voluntarily without problems.
[/QUOTE]
I quit myself at the start of this year, no withdrawal symptoms, no cravings or whatever. I had a sneaky few joints between January and March but none since. I could quite easily smoke a big fat blunt, get chonged off my tits and then go back to not smoking it for another year or whatever. I could just as easily carry on not smoking.
I wish I could say the same about cigarettes but they get their fucking claws into you

The reason I smoke tobacco in the first place is because of this practice. I started smoking weed when I was fifteen, and being the little shitbucket I was immediately hooked on weed from the first time I got high (Again not chemically, in the same way as videogames or w/e) but I rarely had money and didn't know any dealers so I thought fuck it, I'll get cigs to "hold me over" so to speak

and i've smoked joints with both tobacco and weed in them (colloquially known as spliffs) before a couple times, they're actually pretty nice
