Answers: Why do people think its ok to smoke weed but its wrong to smoke cigarettes?
Well to begin with, weed is categorized as a a schedule 1 drug under the controlled substances act, which according the act means their is a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use, and has no real use expected maybe under medical supervision, but most of all its illegal. However arguably there are several legitimate uses for marijuana in the medical field and is actually legal in many states for such purposes. It is impossible to become addicted to weed.. Marijuana has less then half the tar in tobacco, and due the the psychoactive affects on the mind people tend to smoke marijuana alot less than tobacco. Infact not one case of lung cancer has been succesfully linked to weed. Although tobacco is also grown, it is combined with several thousand chemicals that can cause several issues within your body; Over 390,000 people die each year from the effects of smoking tobacco, and smoking also doubles the risk of a heart attack. Weed however has no death rate, and i can only say WILL infact increase your hunger, and cause drying of the mouth, also if you happen to smoke POUNDS of weed a day, you might cause damage to your short-term memory. In essence cigarettes are in a another league altogether when in comparison to weed. And if you want to know why although every government commission report on marijuana in the last 100 years has shown weed to not be a serious threat to any one individual or the public, and is not legal, but cigarettes are... talk to the lobbyist
i dunno... but i think the same way
They're both wrong. But when you're stoned you think it's OK
There is no "benefit" to cigarettes.
I personally believe this because I get something out of smoking the marijuana while smoking cigarettes gives me no physical or mental positive effects. If I had the time I would always cook my marijuana instead of smoking it but this is too time consuming so I lazily resort to smoking it.
i don't know anyone who thinks that.
Cigarettes can KILL YOU. Weed gets you high. It doesn't KILL YOU.
the only difference is hittin a fattie is way better than smokin a grit
ONe is just as bad as the other, harms you regardless
Because weed is an anti-depressant
Cigarettes can calm you down but not nearly as much
plus cigarettes have chemicals to make them addictive
and other stuff in them 2
Weed is all natural herb
Pot takes you to places that tobacco can't go. Plus tobacco is plain nasty. Who wants tobacco breath? I've never heard anyone say you have weed breath.
Cigarette-nicotine
Weed-worse!
Weed isn't a very good choice to make.
some people smoke A LOT of cigarettes every day. few smokers are only going to smoke one a day, while people who smoke weed might only smoke one joint a day, or a week, or a month. the smoke attacks your lungs, and a lot more smoke is involved in cigarettes. pure marijuana doesn't have all of the chemicals found in cigarettes used as filler, either.
plus, cigarettes are addictive. weed is natural.
Weed sometimes cures migraines and gives cancer patients their appetite back.
Because when you smoke weed you get high and with cigs you get cancer point blank!
if your not educated enough to know the difference you should not be smoking neither one. anyway i dont smoke but i have! ciggerettes have nicotien in them which if you dont smoke much can give you a head buzz for a little bit its relaxing. weed will get you high. weed is a drug. and there both bad for you.
Maybe they think that since a person tends to smoke cigarettes regularly, and pot not so regularly that they're being exposed to less crap? lol I don't know, I honestly haven't heard of anyone thinking it was better I don't think...wierd. 1 joint = the same amount of carbon monoxide as in 4 cigarettes. 5 joints per week = exposure to the same amount of cancer causing chemicals as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day per 1 week. Maybe people just assume, but aren't really completely educated about it?
u don't get high from cigarettes. cigarettes r just addictive, no other effect on inhibitions. Weed is used as a drug which has consequences w/ use. Though....alcohol is the real prob, drunk driving for instance. alcohol really screws up ur intuition and inhibitions more than anything...too bad prohibition didn't work [since ppl obviously can't drink in moderation]

It depends on what people you talk to. Tobacco has prov en health problems associated with it, but weed is illegal
Hi,
cigarettes contain more carcinogens, from growing process and the filter.
Weed may be extra bug-sprayed for buzz (kills brain cells), but usually hydroponics or home-grown requires fewer chemicals, thus a cleaner product to burn and parch one's lungs with.
Weed is also not addictive, physically or mentally. Nicotine is very addictive. People may become dependent on weed but there is no withdrawal other than their need to self-medicate
