the only reason people who smoke pot get mad wen other people bash weeds cause its because of those people who talk shit about weed that it remains illegal. if it was legal and people talked bad about weed, we wldnt give a shit :) but im glad 2 see that there r people out there that dont smoke weed and also arent crazed anti-pot supporters.

if you're still young enough that someone is telling your mommy and daddy on you, you probably shouldn't be doing it. and there are other ways to chill out and relax than using drugs. YDI - oh, and 151 YDI means You Deserve It.

Couldn't the same be said of tobacco or alcohol?

@158: yes I suppose but marijuana is used for its hallucinogenic effects whereas alcohol is a depressant. I find alcoholic beverages to be the lesser of 3 evils but still a widely abused substance.

if you think weed is mostly used for its hallucinogenic effects you are mistaken... it is mostly used for its relaxing effects. most people who smoke weed don't smoke so much they hallucinate on a regular basis (you have to be really really ****** up too start seeing things). i'm also surprised you think alcohol is the lesser evil... how many people have you heard of that get really high or smoke a lot of tobacco and then crash their cars and kill innocent people? how many people do you hear of getting high and then beating their wives? leaving their children? now how many times have you heard a news report of a DRUNK person who crashed their car and killed someone? or who drank and then acted violent and hideously abused someone who loved them? you hear it all the time right? alcohol has a much worse judgment-impairing effect than weed, and people who get drunk are much more likely to be angry or depressed, whereas most people who get high just feel relaxed/happy and lazy at worst.

Nice website iKaite.... here's mine so yeah... http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/ Especially this section Myth: Marijuana is More Damaging to the Lungs Than Tobacco. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema. Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF LUNG CANCER RELATED SOLELY TO MARIJUANA, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana. well look at that

And how does this prove marijuana helpful? All I see is that there are negative health effects, even if lung cancer isn't one of them. Can someone explain why "they're not as bad as you say" justifies using it?

"THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF LUNG CANCER RELATED SOLELY TO MARIJUANA, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer..." until now you mean... http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20090623/marijuana-smoke-linked-to-cancer

Hmmm seems like we have some different sources and views... http://stash.norml.org/reefer-madness-cannabis-damages-your-dna/ June 17th, 2009 Go read up

I never understood parents who knew about kids' wrongdoings and never spoke up to the parents about it. It might be awkward, but why would sit by and let the parents be played like fools?
