At a time in history when cigarette smoking has practically been banned from society the pot heads are trying to convince themselves and others that marijuana use is not only harmless but medicinal as well. It's proof that the world is upside down in the liberal mind. The old Cheech & Chong movies are not far from being documentaries. Chronic marijuana use produces social zombies who are unable to function in society. Why do people believe that constantly inhaling burning tobacco is harmful but inhaling the smoke from burning weeds is harmless? It's the same toxic mixture of tars and chemical compounds and crap with a psycho spin.
Because the tobacco in cigarettes is pulped, LOTS of chemicals are added to it, and then the slurry is dried out and ground up (again), and then packaged into cigarettes.
Go to a 420 shop in Colorado? There is a grow house that produces the buds, they are then harvested and packaged. NO CHEMICALS ARE ADDED.
And............there was a study done a couple of years ago by the British Medical Society to check cancer rates in smokers, non smokers, and those who smoked cannabis only.
If you smoke cigarettes, you are 21 times more likely to die of lung cancer than non smokers.
If you are a cannabis only smoker? Your rate drops to 0.93 to 0.72 percent as likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker.
And yes..............marijuana has medical benefits for those with epilepsy, and it has shown promise for Alzheimer's, as well as helps with pain management, stress and appetite stimulation for those undergoing chemo.
Cannabis is MUCH more beneficial than cigarettes.
