here ya go.

The Yanghai Tombs, a vast ancient cemetery (54 000 m2) situated in the Turfan district of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, have revealed the 2700-year-old grave of a shaman. He is thought to have belonged to the Jushi culture recorded in the area centuries later in the Hanshu, Chap 96B.[109] Near the head and foot of the shaman was a large leather basket and wooden bowl filled with 789g of cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions. An international team demonstrated that this material contained tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of cannabis. The cannabis was presumably employed by this culture as a medicinal or psychoactive agent, or an aid to divination. This is the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent.[110]

cannabis use is also thousands of years old. it's quite a stretch to say that any consumption of marijuana is harmful, especially since, as the poster above points out, it can be eaten, which negates any ill health effects.

Drinking too much water can cause death too. I'm talking about "slightly drinking".

Also, alcohol can only be consumed by drinking, so there is no direct chemical effect on other individuals (except for pregnant women and their baby). However marijuana is totally different.

Shaman? They did all kinds of weird things, and do not represent common population of that time. Their job was to get high and behave oddly.

In fact cannabis consumption has always been extremely rare in China.

so what? you claimed drinking alcohol 'at least causes no harm.'

and you said nothing about 'slightly drinking.' are you wanting to compare that with 'slightly' using marijuana?

Also, alcohol can only be consumed by drinking, so there is no direct chemical effect on other individuals (except for pregnant women and their baby). However marijuana is totally different.

what does that have to do with anything? eating cannabis or smoking it outdoors affects no one but the user as well.

cannabis is the most used drug in the world now surpassing alcohol, and its a lot safer... one only has to look up the stats on alcohol to see for them selves..

No wonder. It turns mass populations into duds who think they're the next Einstein. Although I agree, I've seen alcohol screw up more lives than marijuana.

I know people that smoke like one joint a week, and some only partake like once a month, some smoke a little a day..

just like I know people that drink a few drinks a week, some a few per month, and some drink a few per day.. personally I drink like once a year or less for the past fifteen years..

You mean you fear more people smoking pot means more people being made sick from it and adding stress to an already strained medical system, therefore, legalization should of marijuana should stop?
