In the State of Washington, smoking dope is now legal and every teenager can now smoke it as he/she pleases without fear of punishment. On the other-hand, smoking tobacco is becoming more and more of a criminal offence by the leftist state government and is outlawed in every public place and even in private homes. I'm sure these same leftists are smoking more then their share of dope, that's why they are what they are, because of their drug induced addled brains, -leftists.
I just don't get it, isn't marijuana just as bad as nicotine for being habit forming? Isn't the smoke from dope just as bad for your lungs as smoke from a cigarette? Arn't you just as likely to get lung cancer from smoking marijuana as you are tobacco? The left is now celebrating because they now can openly and legally smoke their dope while at the same time are making more and more laws agaist smoking tobacco. Something is screwy going on here. Will some dope smoker or druggy try to straighten me out??:th ink::thi nk:

Tobacco is infinitely more harmful than marijuana, although I personally don't advocate banning either.

Studies have shown that marijuana stems the growth of cancer cells, and someone that smokes marijuana in addition to cigarettes is actually healthier than someone that solely smokes cigarettes because the positive effects of MJ counter the harmful effects of cigarettes.

Well damn, I guess I'm in tip top shape! Seriously, I am a fast healer if that means anything.

Not true

It will be soon. Effective Dec. 6 in Washington and within 60 days in Colorado, state authorities can't arrest or prosecute people over 21 who have up to an ounce of pot or consume it in private.

Legalized pot: What happens now in Colorado and Washington? - The Week

Notice the "Over 21"

More propaganda that isn't true.

Why do you feel that supporting marijuana legalization is a leftist stance?

Blatantly false. Washington and Colorado both have requirements of being over 21. Just like another substance--alcohol.

Blatantly false. Tobacco consumption is not a criminal offense anywhere in the U.S.

I'm eager to hear where smoking is illegal in private homes--and as for smoking in public, you aren't allowed to drink in public either.

You're just woefully ignorant on the subject.

Last time I checked, MJ was physiologically not habit forming like nicotine.

This is true. Tar is tar, which you get from burning plants.

Quote:

Depends on what the actual carcinogens are. Cigarettes are mixed with tons of chemicals.

The only laws against smoking tobacco are where you're allowed to do so--public health concerns, much the same reason you can't drink in public (nor should you, degenerate).

You just rattled off a series of blatantly false statements that you think are facts, and the leftists are the dumb ones? Classic. Some quality blind partisanship right there. Best part is you won't even admit it now, even though the truth has been laid out for you on a silver platter by the previous poster. These aren't even things that are hard to figure out. I suggest you chill on calling people out until you have a clue what you are talking about.

This is another case of "Follow the Money". In this case from tobacco to big pharma and the medical industry.

Pot will now become the next fresh field of money to move from the farmers to big pharma.

Its hard to let go of things you've been told are true all your life. Despite peoples distrust of government, peoples parents have told them that marijuana roots your brain, etc growing up all their lives.

The fact that all of that was propaganda that had no basis in reality has no basis with these types of people, they simply don't care. Much like racism, much of this feeling must die with time, and there is no changing their minds. The best we can do is to dispell the myths for the posters who have the rational part of the brain working.
