Tobacco does coat the lungs with resin. Weed would do even more because it's smoked unfiltered. The filters would reduce the THC. Heck, if they were filtered, they'd smoke the used filters in their bongs, too!
AND, tobacco does not alter perceptions. Those who drive stoned are just as dangerous as drunk drivers. The problem is the sort term loss of long term memory. They'll forget where they're driving to. They may even forget they're the driver if they get their hands on that Canadian skunk weed.
If tobacco is considered demonic, the pot is Satan itself.

Actually, nicotine is MORE psycoactive than THC. Rip a filter off of a Marlboro, then smoke it like you would a joint -- Deep drags, holding it in your lungs for a long time -- and see what the effect is. Now, smoke a joint like you would a normal cigarette -- shallow drags, in and out -- and see the effect.

Most of the effect of THC is the manner in which its ingested. Eat it, drink it -- you get euphoric and relaxed, but not really dumbed down, unless your mind has prepared you to become dumbed down.

Alot of it is purely psychological -- i've know stoners who got oregano and thought it was good stuff -- all because their mind was expecting that. A similar effect can be observed in alcohol. People use alcohol as a excuse to act stupid, when they really haven't had enough to cause the psychoactive effect.

Any smoke put into the lungs is known to be detrimental to one's health. Fire fighters who breath lots of smoke during their careers often fall ill with lung problems years later. The alveoli that exchange gases in our lungs are extremely delicate and easily damaged.

That cigarrette smoke is harmful is obvious. All you need is to see is a set of human lungs of a dead smoker. I saw a pair of tar-blackened, cancerous lungs in a hospital morgue once and decided then and there never to smoke. The physician that showed us the torso and lungs said the victim had smoked for 25 years and that was his death penalty at age 40. While he explained the case to us, the doc was smoking.

Yes smoking anything will put you at risk of cancer, whether it's pot, tobbacco or bananna peels and yes it should be treated the same as alcohol in ref; to driving. If your driving while stoned & get caught, it's DUI bubba. But come on, we don't forget to where we're driving regardless of the quality of smoke. And for the record there is no way on god's green earth that anybody could smoke a filter, yuck.
