+561 The whole "pot is natural, so it's safe" argument doesn't really work, because there are tons of natural things that can harm your body. I mean, mercury is natural, but you wouldn't sprinkle it on your Cheerios, amirite?

It's be kind of hard to sprinkle it like sprinkles because it's a liquid at room temperature ;)

The pot is natural so it can harm you argument doesn't work but the fact that studies have shown that it's far less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes is an argument that works.

Exactly. There are plenty of valid arguments that can be used for the argument to legalize cannabis. I'm just saying that this particular reason is stupid.

just becuase it's better than alochol and cigarettes doesn't make it healthy....

If you eat it, it's pretty good for you. It's rich in omega 3.

Meh, if you don't like smoking because you have asthma or something it'd be better. Just throw it in some brownies or tea and you're good to go.

haha i think a better backer to this argument is that tobacco is natural too

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The tobacco that people smoke has been heavily altered and filled with chemicals. Natural tobacco is not much worse than marijuana. Cigarettes aren't natural tobacco though.

The arguments is not "Pot is natural so it is safe" its "pot is natural, and they shouldn't illegalize nature" Plus its not the drug thats bad for you, its just the smoking it part thats not very good for ur lungs. but if u take it another way, like edibles and pills, its okay. Plus there has bern ZERO deaths directly related to cannabis. The only problem really with pot is that it makes people stupid and lazy.

I up voted your comment until the last sentence, so i down voted

Maybe that is the argument, but even so then there are many people spreading this version around. Enough so that this post is relevant.

You were good until you said it made stupid and lazy.

http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis.shtml A fair, balanced look at it, rather than that government health class bullshit. Some of the articles on the history are very interesting, by the way.
