The real truth? Is smoking cannabis just as dangerous, less dangerous or more th!


Question: Lesssss. Dont listen to these guys. They don't know jack. Cigs contain tar, which can destroy the lining of your throat and lungs, and weed is just a plant. JUST A PLANT!! They do not add anythin else. Trust me. But, weed can be more harmful in some ways. If you drive, or do something stupid while high, you could get hurt. Overall, cigs are worse. Also, they just cut weed with knives and tweesers, not anything bad. Why would they use medicinal marijuana if it was bad? It is antivomit and make u hungry.

More dangerous.

There's a good Family Guy clip about dope, basically summing up the reason it's called 'dope'.

It makes you dumb.
It's illegal for a reason.

Less dangerous than cigarettes.

it is less harmful than cigs. i quit cigs in April and i still smoke weed, my doctors says my lungs sound allot better than they did.

It has more cancer causing chemicals than tobacco. Also unless you grow your own your do not know what someone may have used to cut it.

You're not going to get the real truth here. What you'll get is a bunch of people who are for smoking it, who will tell you it's safer and less harmful. Then you'll get a bunch of people who are against it who'll tell you it's more dangerous and more harmful.

As far as I'm concerned, any drug (and yes, cannabis is a drug) that's taken into the body can cause harm. I think alcohol, cigarettes, etc. should be made illegal. It's amazing how sad of a state we are in that we feel the need to poison our bodies with this nonsense. As far as that goes, perhaps we should remove all chemicals from our foods and eat more naturally, too.

To the guy who quit cigarettes and still smokes weed: your lungs may sound better, but I highly doubt your brain has gone undamaged.

Weed is probably less dangerous. You generally smoke it less often and the health side effects I think are less severe. They're both bad for you though, then again almost anything is bad for you in the wrong quantity. Just don't smoke weed if it's illegal where you are, and don't smoke and drive or ride a bike (personal experience shows it's not a good idea)

Here's my opinion. Even if weed is worse than nicotine you don't smoke as much weed as you would nicotine. You smoke a couple bowls or joints a day compared to 20 to 40 cigarettes. Logically weed is going to be better for you because you are not inhaling smoke as much. Even if you stay high every day all day I feel it still doesn't compare to smoking a pack of cigarettes. I think it also depends on how you smoke the weed. Obviously it is not filtered so that's a direct hit. Smoking out of a battie for example would be worse than smoking a joint because a battie is a very direct hit to your lungs. Then there is the addiction factor. It is impossible to become physically addicted to marijuana whereas cigarettes are very addictive and have even been compared to having the same addiction factors as coke. In my opinion weed will never be worse than nicotine.

well have you seen the resen you get on a bottle after having a couple of buckets/bongs. inside the bottle go's like a crapy brown slime now your putting that crap in your lungs if you smoke a joint it is like smoking because you use tobacco plus you get the crap off the dope,

also 1 in 7 people who have used it for a while start to develope Schizophrenia panic attacks, paranoia, depression

just google it. a few of my mate are proper paranoid and one has slit his own neck luckily he lived but told me he started hereing voices saying thing like kill them all(freaky or what) they all smoke cannabis,

so it might feeal good at the time but in a few years time when you start going a little bit paranoid or schizo good look i wouldnt risk it

and come to think of it all my mates who do smoke it are lazy no job and as thick as pigs sh*t

For the jerk who said your not inhaling as much...Yes you do. You inhale and hold your breathe and then blow it out. Duh... It is still a drug and I think it will harm you in some way but I am not totally against it. I have not smoked it in years. If you do it just a little then maybe it will do less harm but I knew someone who smoked it morning,noon and night and this guy was a total airhead.It was like his brain was fried. This was years ago when I met him. I donot know what else he was doing but I say anything you do whether it is alcohol or smoking pot to do it on moderation only. I know a few people who use it for a pain reliever and get it from a doctor. So use your own judgement as far as how much and when. It is illegal in most states and you cannot get a job anymore if they find it when doing a piss test for a job. So that should tell you something there.

I'd say more, as you hold the smoke in your lungs so it has more time to cause damage. As weed is illegal and unregulated, you never know what pesticides have contaiminated it during growing and what toxic things it may have been cut with.

Also, it is dangerous to drive while under its influence and you may other poor personal decisions while high.
