I'm sure the MJ is bad for your health, smoking anything is going to be unhealthy but I'm pretty sure tobacco is worse.  In fact there are a large number of scientist that believe that marijuana is by far the safest illegal drug and is safer then tobacco and alcohol.  Which leaves the question why is marijuana illegal while alcohol and tobacco are legal?  That would take some time to explain.\n\nI've heard that a joint has the same amount of tar as 8 cigerettes, but this is from an anti-marijuana ad which are known to lie or stretch the truth.  What they don't mention is the size of the joint.  They also don't take into account that joints are filterless as well as they are typically passed around in a group.  Cigerettes are typically not passed around and a person will smoke far more cigerettes in a day.\n\nBasically the largest risk of marijuana is accidents or mistakes made because of being high.  An inexperienced user may feel that they are dying but just calming the person down is the best treatment.\n\nIf stuff like this really interest you then I suggest a book for you to look at.\n\n"Buzzed," by Cynthia Kuhn,Ph.D., Scott Swartzwelder,Ph.D., and Wikie Wilson,Ph.D.\n\nit contains valuable information about almost every drug you could think of from Alcohol, Caffeine, marijuana, tobacco, etc.\n\nsorry for the long answer but people get the wrong impression of marijuana based solely on the fact that it is illegal

Yes, and do an expierament on your own. Watch the news and see what people are influenced by when they commit crimes. Not all crimes, but crimes that can be contributed to an substance. Hard illegal drugs(No not pot!) , Alcohol, and Prescriction Drugs. How many crimes are reported that people are under the influence of Weed?

Each year, a staggering 440,000 people die in the US from tobacco use. Nearly 1 of every 5 deaths is related to smoking. Cigarettes kill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined. \n\nCigarette smoking accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths. It is a major cause of cancers of the lung, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, pharynx (throat), and esophagus, and is a contributing cause in the development of cancers of the bladder, pancreas, liver, uterine cervix, kidney, stomach, colon and rectum, and some leukemias. \n\nAbout 87% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, and is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. It is very hard to detect when it is in the earliest, most treatable stage. Fortunately, lung cancer is largely a preventable disease. Groups that promote nonsmoking as part of their religion, such as Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists, have much lower rates of lung cancer and other smoking-related cancers. \n\nBut cancers account for only about half of the deaths related to smoking. Smoking is also a major cause of heart disease, bronchitis, emphysema, and stroke, and contributes to the severity of pneumonia. Tobacco has a damaging affect on women's reproductive health and is associated with increased risk of miscarriage, early delivery (prematurity), stillbirth, infant death, and is a cause of low birth weight in infants. Furthermore, the smoke from cigarettes has a harmful health effect on those around the smoke. (Refer to the American Cancer Society documents "Secondhand Smoke" and "Women and Smoking.") \n\nBased on data collected from 1995 to 1999, the CDC estimated that adult male smokers lost an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers lost 14.5 years of life because of smoking. \n\nBut not all of the health problems related to smoking result in deaths. In the year 2000, about 8.6 million people were suffering from at least one chronic disease due to current or former smoking, according to the Center for Disease Control. Many of these people were suffering from more than one smoking-related condition. The diseases occurring most often were chronic bronchitis, emphysema, heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.\n\nThere were about 163, 500 cases of lung cancer death in 2005.  About 87% are from the result of cigarette smoking.

drunk drivers kill so many people every year - way more than the percentage of marijuana smokers driving and killing people.  if alcohol is legal, pot should be

I have to agree with you about pretty much everything. I've smoked for about 10 years.  It's the 1 thing I enjoy above all others and the only thing I do anymore.  (Many various flashbacks thru all the times on everything...thanks! lol) I also have a good job & a nice house & continue to be a productive member of society, even though I'm a 'stoner'.  These days, plenty of people use the legal drugs to high every day and condemn us.  Weed is the best!

Look at the revenue that could be made by legalization and taxation.  More people than you realize use it on a regular basis.  Think about the 60's and what age the stoners of then are now.  If they were say 20 in 1965, they are 60 now.  And do you really think that all of those people quit smoking?  Not to mention how many more people have since started and add them all together.  I really think we could put a good dent in the deficit if we legalized and taxed marijuana.  Just my opinion.

I believe the danger from marijuana is underrated. Why? Because people that smoke it don't smoke as much of that as people smoke cigarettes. \nTry smoking two 'packs' of mary jane a day, and then come back and ask that.
