    “There’s this one kid that I heard got it near my friends house, all he ever smoked was weed. I’m not sure if that was just a rumor or not though, sure hope it was- God forbid!” Anecdotal evidence doesn’t even hold weight in court so I rely on scientific facts! Also why don’t you check the products you can make with the hemp plant vs the tobacco plant! I eat hemp seeds and it’s good for omega w/o the buzz of marijuana of course! Educate yourself please!

    Dude that’s for many reasons – and actually I think it has! There’s this one kid that I heard got it near my friends house, all he ever smoked was weed. I’m not sure if that was just a rumor or not though, sure hope it was- God forbid! But I think it’d be cause: Most people that smoke weed, smoke cigarettes too(So it’ll be blamed on the cigs) And people who smoke aren’t so “Open” about it. etc.. And it kills brain cells like CRAZY! And you CAN NOT GROW BRAIN CELLS BACK! & it has 3xAmount of TAR

    There has also been no document cases of lung cancer being directly linked to oral inhilation of cannabis.

  6. boumar19721972 says:

    yes unfortunatly marijuanna does have tar. anything you smoke has tar in it. But the Berkeley carcinogenic tar studies of the late 1970′s concluded that “marijuana is one-and-a-half times as carcinogenic as tobacco.” or it contains 33% the amount of tar as tabacoo has in it. This is only a test of the bud not the leaf but who the hell smokes the leaf. this was also tested without the intervention of a bong. Also because of the psychoactive affects of cannabis (weed) you dont smoke as much.

  7. HockeyAdvice says:

    There are WAY more reasons than “health reasons” to not smoke weed! And if you want to throw the health card I’d say “Weed has 3 times as much Tar than Cigarettes do” And Cigarettes are already Really Really bad as it is! You said so yourself! Just like you can’t really over dose on cigarettes- you can’t overdose on weed- but doing it regularly is bad for your health bro- little 10 year old kids know that! Pinch yourself bro! you’re defending drugs, what has your life been reduced to?

  8. boumar19721972 says:

    Cigarettes and alcohol ruins lives! It kills people directly with cancer and alcohol poisoning. Name me a person that died from the smoke or THC of marijuana. Your argument comes from the years of brainwashing from your government! Check also the products you can make with the tobacco plant vs the hemp plant!

    No, it’s going to be Washington State that will be the first state in the union to legalize marijuana with I-502 on the ballot this fall. Hopefully, when it passes by the people voting for it, the Feds will not block it, kick in doors, etc.

    Weed didn’t ruin your life. Your ill sell-will to allow it to make your life unmanageable did. That would probably indicate you have some sort of addictive personality or OCD issues. If that were not your case, there’d be no reason to quit. You are just basically stating your opinion, not facts.

    Names of those music playing… anyone???

    No, not at all. Been smoking for 20 years. College graduate and I have my own small business. Haven’t had to work for anyone except myself since I was 15. All things in moderation. If you smoke weed everyday, then it’s not the weed ruining your life, it’s the fact that your being a lazy asshole that’s ruining your life. I’m pretty sure the last 3 presidents admitted to smoking weed, didn’t ruin their lives. Carl Sagan, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, smoked weed. Just sayin’.

  20. 12XCMCX13 says:

    they saw bud is a addiction but that’s a lie. an addiction is something you need on daily basis suck as meth alcohol etc etc. weed isn’t addicting i can go weeks and months with out weed and my body wont crave it. i am a construction worker and after a long day of work i might smoke just to feel relax and calm. i use to live in California and i ended up moving to a state were marijuana is consider a drug and too me marijuana is better then drinking tobacco.

  21. everquestfan says:

    Funny they attack the tobacco industry in every way and they think this is the answer to their problems?Just shows you they dont give a shit about anything but money.Whats next?Fucking criminals wear suits……

  22. budearta says:

  23. JohnSmith88823 says:

    Show me the study.

    You aren’t responding any better than a fundamentalist Christian who makes claims without providing supporting evidence.

  24. JohnSmith88823 says:

    Please reference me the study.

    Who are the researchers?
    In what journal?
    What’s the name of the study?

  25. stayeducated1 says:

    Oh and also there’s something called the endocannabinoid system which involves cannabis and in studies (many actually) have been shown to help prevent/stop cancer because of cannabadiol (CBD). So yeah do some research please.
