Smoking = bad, evil, health hazard

Marijuana smoking = good, medically effective, harmless

Psst... liberals.

Inhaling burning substances of any kind is never a good idea.

Of course, neither is torching the Fourth Amendment and states' rights.

[Wolfie]

Just like tobacco in that regard. Of course, we don’t arrest and lock up tobacco users. Yet.

Of course smoking anything puts stress on the heat/lungs. However more and more people are vaporizing it rather than smoking now. The vaporizers are as small as pens, very cheap and user friendly.

Pot doesn't need a solvent to vaporize either. You can directly heat your dry herb with no additives. Tobacco requires glycol or something similar that we don't yet know longterm effects of.

I like how this one line is tossed in there, with no other context:

“People with pre-existing conditions appeared most vulnerable, the study added.”

Cause and exacerbate are two different things.

Caffeine, tobacco, sugar, sex, physical activity and tons of other things have an increased potential for dangerous results for “People with pre-existing conditions”

I suspect when the secrets are revealed, we will find that marijuana is not the sweet li’l innocent drug it is touted to be. Are the other drugs innocent? No. Could you pick worse things than pot to get high on? Yes. Should you smoke pot thinking there can be zero consequences? No.

Just my thoughts, but as one gets older time becomes more expensive and one wants to waste less of it. What do I have to show for the time I wasted smoking marijuana? Zip. Oh, lost money, lost productivity? Absolutely.

I have no one to blame but myself for choosing to smoke it, but I can offer my assessment of it from a sizeable distance now: DONT WASTE YOUR (VERY PRECIOUS) TIME. This could apply to a bunch of other things as well, but we are talking about pot.

[Salvation]

How will you answer all these law suits, Colorado?

[I want the USA back]

This will be hidden by the media as state after state rushes to push as much pot as possible into the lungs of their citizens, at the same time as they condemn E-cigarettes.

[Vaduz]

The sooner the SOB’s check out it eases the carbon foot print they think like that any way.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I love how these articles warning of the health risks of smoking pot are coming out now that it is on the cusp of becoming legal. When it was clearly illegal, Liberals loved it. Now that its legal or almost legal in a lot of jurisdictions, the MSM and Libs can’t resist the temptation to want to see its downside and use it to control people’s behaviour just like they want to stop people from drinking Big Gulps and eating at McDonalds.

[ClearBlueSky]

Nooooo...that’s not true! Marijuana is totally harmless. It’s GOOD to smoke! It’s the same as water! It has NO effect whatever on the human body-that’s why people want to use it!/sarc
And marijuana users believe this because it makes them STUPID!
Medical Marijuana?? If the active ingredient can be put in pill form ONLY for ‘medical’ reasons, wouldn’t that be good and less harmful than smoking it? Would that eliminate the ‘high’ people don’t get and eliminate the ‘medical’ excuse for self-stupefication?

National marijuana prohibition is dead in America and it's not coming back. It is now in the hands of the states, where it should have been all along per the 10th Amendment.
