Tobacco is a proven killer, yes, but who knows what weird side effets we may be yet to discover connected with mary jane.

I am sure there are weird effects to uncover with modern science, but it isn’t like people just started smoking weed and nobody knows what happens to people who smoke weed their whole lives… and the consequences are quite clearly a universe away from alcohol and tobacco.

I don’t know.

Not being a spliff smoker, I won’t comment.

Even tobacco can have medical use: I worked with a person that smoked to increase blood pressure, under medical advice.

Wine and even whisky have been linked with having benefitial effects on cardiac function, when drank in moderation.

In my understanding, the biggest issue is the way these substances are used and advertised. The notion of moderation is completely absent.

God. I wish the usual weed smokers did it in moderation, they fucking stink because of how constant they smoke.
