ololololol. You don't think alcohol can destroy brain cells? I have some interesting news for you: it sure can. In fact, my grandfather developed dementia due to his alcoholism.

I'd argue that alcohol is worse for your health and more dangerous than pot. You can OD on alcohol. Alcohol also really wrecks your liver. It's also a widely known fact that alcoholics are a hell of a lot less pleasant people than potheads.

And given the choice, I'd rather encounter a driver who is high than a driver who is drunk. If you're high, you're more likely to drive really slowly and not necessarily weave all over the place like a drunk driver.

And please. Let's not be naive. The reason that pot was illegalized in the United States was not because ITZ SO BADZ 4 U!! It was due to racism and political and economic reasons. Let's take a look at what the man who helped illegalize marijuana had to say about it, shall we?

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."

Hmmm. Interesting. That is a completely rational reason for outlawing marijuana. To be quite honest, when I was, like, fifteen I believed all the anti-pot government propaganda. Then I stepped back and took a look at it. It's just so unscientific and ridiculous. I saw one ad making a claim that using marijuana (even once!) increases your risks for mental illness. Orly? I can think of several things wrong with a declaration like that. First off, you can't scientifically measure that. And say that people who smoke pot have more mental illnesses. That doesn't necessarily mean it was the pot that caused it. It could be that those with mental illnesses are drawn to pot.

But anyway. Unless it's an every day thing, I don't think that pot smoking noticeably impacts your health. Oh no, it has chemicals in it! It might give you cancer! Please. Everything these days causes cancer. Also, depending on what scientific study you choose to believe, scientists have found no link between smoking pot and lung cancer.

Please educate yourself about the issue before you get all indignant and uppity. The government likes to push a lot of propaganda and misinformation. God knows why. If they legalized pot and put a tax on it, they'd be rolling in money.

Getting high and being drunk. Sure it's bad for me, and if I continue to do so my health will decline. Believe it or not, I am capable of predicting what the excesses will do to me in the future.

However, this isn't about me.

I'h thought about that, but it wouldn't look good for the government to be saying it's okay to smoke weed.
But they would make lots of money, also it would help to reduce crime.

Sure it can, but not as a rapid rate as THC can. THC can remain in your body for over a month, ask mixed martial artist Nick Diaz. And Alcohol does not. Far more damage comes from THC, then alcohol. But I get your point.

And I have done my research, did you know cannabis that drug dealers sell has 7 times more tar in it than a one cigarette. I've seen brains of people who smoked cannabis on a frequent basis, it looks like swiss cheese from dead brain cells.

And don't you find it a little hypocritical you tell me to do my research when I support my theories with hard evidence, not just going "everything can give you cancer". Sun can give you cancer, matter of fact at age 65+ everyone's risk for skin cancer goes to 100%. People always want to pretend nothing bad will happen to them, or compare the small levels of pesticides on fruits to high levels of toxins in weed =/.

It's not being uppity, it's being truthful. I just don't want people spreading propagandis crap that doing things like this won't kill you. Talk to a MD with a P.hD.

And to add this, racism plays zero roles in the illegalization of weed. It's as simple as basing the facts of what the drug does to you health wise, good and bad. Bad outweighing the good by a mile. I think making accusations like that is also quite outrageous to be honest. Cannabis has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with your health.

I drink and I smoke and I'm in good health. To me the benefits of smoking and drinking are worth the damage they are doing to me. If they weren't I wouldn't be doing them.

Considering that we all die, it doesn't bother me.

Then where did this come from?

Please try to actually form an arguement, rather than just quoting me and getting me to explain myself to you. As fun as it may be, it's not really productive is it dear?

Oh god. The ignorance is choking me. First off, MDs don't have PhDs, lol. K? And I can cite a bunch of scientific studies (one: Donald Tashkin, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles) that found absolutely no link between cancer and smoking pot. What doctors HAVE found, actually, is that smoking pot is beneficial for those with cancer, glaucoma, and (still being investigated) Alzheimers.

Awww, are you having fun lying? Because you obviously have never seen brains from people who have smoked cannabis. First off, there is NO drug (no, not even ecstasy) that actually makes holes in your brain. Secondly, marijuana does not kill brain cells. There is actually NO scientific study that supports that claim. There is, however, a scientific study that debunks that myth. I'm lazy, so I'll just copy it:

"...Researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study."

You have just been owned. Have a nice day and stop pretending you know what you're talking about

Yeah I'm really pretending

Don't make this into a personal attack, honestly calling people ignorant makes you a keyboard warrior. It's really annoying.

And I would say with all today's advancements in technology, you'd think harvard MD's would know what they're talking about.

And I do know what I'm talking about, just because you quote a few things doesn't mean you infact, do. I think once again, you are being a hypocrite lol.

But won't it eventually effect your living standards? You can't just be able to smoke and drink without it having negative effects.
