Aw heck just read the thousand or so factual posts I have made...

Thousands of factual posts LMAO you should be a comedian.

I did search under 'harmful effects of marijuana' and couldn't find anything that could be considered remotely dangerous or life-threatening but thanks for wasting my time once again. Even cannabis smoke inhalation is much less threatening to the lungs then cigarette smoke because unlike cigarettes MJ isn't loaded with nicotine and artificial chemicals.

You might get a 'dangerous' case of the munchies and break out into laughter for no reason but that's about it. The effects of cigarette smoking, alcohol, many kinds of prescription drugs, etc have far more harmful side effects than pot and those are all legal. People easily die or go into comas from ODing on booze or prescription drugs or both it happens countless times a day and hospital emergency rooms are always filled with OD patients. Yet I never heard of anyone ODing on weed, which I don't think is even possible.

I think the real issue is nobody really knows whats even in pot and what those chemicals do and where they even effect the brain/body. They know some of them, but not all. Look at synthetic cannaboids, these things are really weird and have effects all over the place. What is known is that there are certain medicinal uses for it, smoking it is bad for the lungs (smoking anything is bad), it messes with younger peoples heads a little more than older people, and there is a significant portion of users who are addicts/chain smokers who go through significant withdrawal when trying to stop.

In small, controlled, pure doses without redosing within a week or two, pot is probably healthy. But opiates and Cheezit Snack Mix is healthy too if people would treat them that same way. It's the abuse that's the problem, not the use.

About CO, it's that people don't want the hardcore users in THEIR back yard. They can go somewhere else, but not in my neighborhood because the hardcore people come when something is first legalized.

There are millions like me. The vast majority have been "in the closet" for all these decades because of fear of draconian punishment if their "secret" was discovered by the local authorities. As time goes on, you will see just how many of us there are.

Fried brains. I'm still laughing about that one.

I suppose you would also tell this lady she is frying her brain?

Smoke Weed Every Day For 50 Years And This Might Happen To You

Be sure to check the comments section, where real people post their real experiences. They backup my claims.

You probably should not make such idiotic statements when it comes to subjects you know nothing about.

My wife a registered nurse in a hospital for 14 years just told me she never heard of anyone getting lung
cancer from smoking weed, and neither have I. Let me know when you find any such documented cases.

Otherwise the article is pure BS.

A few years ago, the only country which legalized marijuana was North Korea.
Last year, Jackie Chan's son was jailed 6 months for hosting guests to smoke marijuana in Beijing.
I expect more Americans to be jailed in other countries in near future.

MJ smoke isn't harmless but much less so than cigarette smoke imo.
But banning cigarettes would be as stupid as banning alcohol or marijuana.
Read up on the history of alcohol some time and find out why prohibition never works...educate yourself.

Cigarettes do not make people lose their mind. You can still drive your car or take a math exam or swim in Lake Michigan after several cigarettes.
