i am not a pothead, but this is an interesting find.

 

Hooorrraaaayyyy!

I mean...that's very nice to hear. Not for me...but for a friend of mine.

 

Perhaps smoking marijuana isn't likely to cause cancer. Nevertheless, inhaling smoke into your lungs isn't healthy by any means. It's common sense.

 

old news, nobodys ever died from weed, smoke up and enjoy

 

I wish I could meet the pioneering individual who thought it was a good idea to take something that's on fire and put it in your mouth.

 

Just end up with Schizophrenia instead, its all fun. then you'll never be stuck for someone to talk to.

 

thats is not true

 

yes it is

 

yuo shure?

I fink he si!

 

I used to know a guy who smoked a lot of weed and one day he went nuts and smashed all of the mirrors and windows in his house and cut himself up, he went totally schizo but I doubt it was directly caused by the weed.

 

Hard links have been drawn to schizophrenia and smoking weed.

It increases the liklihood by around 50% if you smoke it heavily before you're 14. I'll have to find the paper, and subsequent review.

but hey, its all good fun, and the key is moderation for everything!

 

Well that's good to know, I didn't start smoking it heavily until I was 14.

 

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm schizophrenic,
and so am I

or whoever ate the first oyster!

 

But it does cause limp wristed-ness and man boobs.

Oh wait, no, that's too many twinkies.

 

alcohol is worse for you than weed!

 

don't forget cigs! bleh

 

prove it?

 

oh c'mon parks u know its true!

that said i'm coming by next week to go pub crawling

 

prove it lol, I don't need to, all the alcohol related deaths have already proved it

 

If you had the same amount of people smoking weed as you did drinking alcohol, would the numbers of deaths match up?

 

Interesting question, I think that would have to be on a percentage aspect, not nearly as many tokers, as far as I know.

Beyond the health issues factor in alcohol is a mood enhancer, nothing like an angry drunk (a lady at work just had her drunk now exboyfiend wake her up with a gun to her head). Then pile on DUI's and the countless inoccents that have been killed due to a drunk.

I believe everything in moderation, but I don't drink anymore 'cause of diabetes.

 

alcohol kills your body

weed just makes your body lazy

 

I'd agree, simply because one thing is legal and the other isn't. It's just easier for anyone to buy a six pack than to buy weed.

That's what I'm wondering about. If a joint was as easy to get as a six pack, would there be as many accidents due to stoned people, the way we already have with drunk people? I guess we don't know unless they legalize it.

 

I drive better while baked

 

Unfortunately smoking too much weed is the leading cause of eating too many twinkies.
