Without tobacco, smoking cannabis is thought to cause cancer.
If not cancer, negative respiratory effects are unchallenged - dope smokers don't cough for no reason.

Actually,
certain chemicals in marijuana actually effect the lungs in POSITIVE ways. They reverse the effects of tobacco smoke, they open up the poars in the lungs. (Thats why if you know anyone who has asthma, they can smoke a J and go about their day, but if they take a puff of a cig, they will literally have an attack. (I will find the supporting documents , i understand that you will probably call a bluff on this one too)
I truly beleive that everyone is free to beleive whatever they want, and i will NEVER force my opinion onto others.
but I definitly beleive that alcoholism and cig addiction is 10x WORSE than pot. Yet because its "legal", its ok for bars to be packed on the weekends with people getting wasted, yet a couple at home smoking a joint = wrong.
You said that you call my bluff on knowing successful wealthy pot smokers. And thats fine, but its actually the truth. I know lawyers, doctors and bussiness men who all love to smoke. My doctor even recomended it for my anxiety attacks. (After i told her I do not want to take the pills she prescribed , which are FAR worse)
ReeferMadness over the past century has distorted the facts about marijuana.
TOBACCO
ALCOHOL,
All our addictive.
EXCEPT weed. (psychologically yes, but if someone cant get their hands on pot after being an avid smoker (daily basis), once a full week passes, they no longer bitch or moan about craving it, and the body only goes through minor withdrawls, like difficulty sleeping, and slight grumpiness.
(UNLIKE BOOZE , CIGS & CERTAIN PHARMACUTICAL DRUGS, WHICH ARE PUSHED HARDER THAN CRACK- ALL IN THE NAME OF MONEY)
Any addiction is bad. I agree, even WEED.
But i hate how, weed smokers = bad
while cig smokers and alcohol users = THE NORM.
EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.
THE WORLD REALLY NEEDS TO DE-BRAINWASH THEMSELVES FROM THE "ABOVE THE INFLUENCE PROPOGANDA".
Its as if NON weed smoker, feel like better people. I know. I was HIGHLY against drugs till the age of 20. I was wrong.
As for medicinal purposes, weed can assist MANY MANY things, but the pharm companies would never allow that to become legit. $ will be lost. And they are in the bussiness of selling chemicals, NOT helping people.
(Not all, but the majority)
Ask anyone who has ever been on an anti depresant, after they come off it, ask them how USED they felt, especially, if they came to beleive that a little weed now and then, could have balanced them out better than PUMPING MAOI and other serotonin level modification drugs into their head.
