I would like to point out the risk for weed alone is significantly higher as the weed just has more toxins in sheer quantity. While alcohol is bad, it only has ethanol and ethanol is only one toxin where as weed has as many as cigarettes.

Well, I actually would say it's pretty safe. I do acknowledge that inhaling any sort of smoke isn't good for your lungs, but unless you're smoking multiple times a day, everyday (even more than someone smokes cigarettes), it doesn't have a strong impact on your lungs, or really any noticeable impact at all. In regard to the world of drugs, it is the absolute safest one out there. It's not physically addictive (getting addicted to the feeling of something is entirely different. In that sense, you can get addicted to anything), nothing unnatural is added to it, it doesn't make you completely lose yourself, and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't kill this large sum of brain cells. Before someone argues with me on that last point, smoking weed kills about as many brain cells as holding your breath for an extended period of time (mostly because people hold their breath while smoking). Probably the most unsafe thing about weed is that it has the potential to be a serious gateway drug. Stoners will try to tell you time and time again that this isn't true, but being completely unbiased here, I know otherwise. I have never been so close to hard drugs as I have been after smoking weed.

I smoke, but I have always acknowledged the fact that inhaling any sort of smoke is harmful to your lungs, even if the smoke from cannabis won't really have a large enough impact on them.

It's not safe because it's natural. It's safe because it doesn't cause many problems. It's not (physically) addictive. There's no solid research on the point of cancer because 1. it's not legal and 2. most weed smokers also smoke cigarettes. The general consensus is that it doesn't have much of an effect on your lung health unless you smoke very regularly. It is also physically impossible to OD on. However, weed is no longer the natural product that the founding fathers toked. It now has 70% more THC than before because of all of the fucking with it that people did.

For certain people yes. There are two people I know who I can use as alternate examples for this. Person A: They started smoking at a very young age. They smoked constantly. They dabbled in harder drugs, but never really got an addiction. They did menially in school and eventually dropped out of their first year of college. HOWEVER, they had a history of serious mental issues and a very addictive personality. It's surprising that they only got hooked on weed. He currently lives in a run down one bedroom apartment. Person B: Smoked fairly often starting at around 16. Mostly on the weekends, but sometimes during the week. They excelled in high school and are currently getting straight A's in college. They are on their way to becoming a successful nuclear engineer. They also work out five days a week and eat healthy. Weed can vary from person to person on its effects on your life. I can't tell you that if you smoke weed you'll be fine because you might not be. I can tell you that Person A wouldn't have had to drop out of college or lead his current crappy life if weed was legal. He was arrested a few times for possession and this makes it difficult for him to get a job today.

It's natural? So is a grass fire, and where I'm from, those will kill you quickly. Marijuana has different, but as many, chemicals as cigarettes. No matter how natural it is you are inhaling smoke which damages the cells in you esophagus which aid in the movement of mucus. This brings about smoker's cough. It's also worse for your lungs because of exposer time to the smoke. One smoking weed generally inhales, holds, then exhales. Smokers inhale the exhale.

"the marijuana people can buy in this day and age is usually not pure, it often will have some other substance mixed in." Lol whut. No. This isn't cocaine we're talking about... Dealers aren't going to mix drugs more expensive than marijuana with marijuana. That's not a very good business model.

It does happen a lot actually. Maybe not cocaine necessarily, but in order to increase the value and make more money selling it, dealers will mix in other things with marijuana.

Give me some examples.

Of drugs mixed in with marijuana? Well it can be just about any solid drug, usually others that are smoked or sniffed. The dangerous thing about marijuana today is that, with illegal marijuana anyways, you really don't know what you're getting.

You obviously have never purchased marijuana before. If there is ANY lacing of marijuana, it is done by the end user. It would make no sense to add something like PCP to weed since it's one of the cheapest drugs you can get (weed, that is). Even if a dealer does lace some pot he's about to sell, he won't be in business long. People know how a marijuana high feels. If something is added to it, the user will be able to tell, and I'd imagine get pissed at being sold garbage. Believe it or not, a lot of dealers rely on reputation (in regards to marijuana). Marijuana has always been illegal. Recently, you can buy it for medical problems - so if anything, there's less of a chance of it being laced, since there's reputable people growing it for dispensaries. More 'untainted' product on the market, if you will.

No, I haven't bought marijuana before. Nor have I ever used, and I never will. I see your point, and can understand your logic, I'm only going by background information, which I also understand may or may not be correct. And by "illegal marijuana", I meant the present marijuana bought from dealers, as opposed to if it was made totally legal (beyond just medical use). I'd have to agree with one your last point, marijuana bought legitimately would be much safer by comparison.

I think you're the first person who's brought up those issues with weed in this comments section.

I do love how many people commenting against pot use arguments that are essentially made up. This is one of the funniest POTD comments section i have read.

I don't need to smoke weed to feel good about myself or get away from my problems. Grow a pair and find something else that's legal that can do that

Technically, because everything is made out of combinations of the same atoms/ fundamental particles, one could use this same logic to say that everything is natural therefore everything is safe. People have become so brainwashed by The media to believe that everything natural is safe, that it is almost scary.

I just read something very similar to this not even a minute ago.

I have not heard a single person say that in all of my years.
