“More than one-third of participants felt that daily smoking of cannabis was safer than tobacco, and their views increasingly favored safety of cannabis vs tobacco over time (1742 participants [36.7%] in 2017 vs 2107 participants [44.3%] in 2021; P < .001)”
Depends on how they are consumed. Joints are fucking terrible for you.
We should say how it’s consumed, because the arguably safest way to consume marijuana doesn’t involve smoking at all (edibles).
The benefit is that it isn’t chemically addictive. It is behaviorally addictive though. Both are very bad when inhaled (of course).
(Nods as he puffs from his Dynavap).
I’m never going back from the dry herb vapes! When you’re smoking cannabis, you’re turning perfectly good THC into carcinogens. Why would you do that‽ Better to vaporize your cannabinoids without setting them on fire.
Smoking is bad regardless of what it is. You’re putting shit in your lungs that you shouldn’t. And then if your near others your putting it in their lungs too. If you want to get high do edibles or some shit that only affects you. But never tell me smoking weed is perfectly safe. Micro particles are damaging for you and others regardless what they’re made of.
Personally I think smoking cigarettes needs more restrictions and then smoking weed needs to fall in line with those. I’m all for legalization to the point where people can do what they want. But the second it messes with someone else’s choice it’s not your right anymore.
I’m getting pushed to try weed for more shit than ever now that it’s legal here and I can’t stand it. I don’t want to smoke. That’s my choice. Leave me choose it. “Oh but it will chill you out” ya well I’m allergic to THC. My throat swells shut. “Nah you just gotta get acclimated to it. Just trust me and try it”.
We push cigarettes out of so many places because of people with asthma, and rightfully so. But we need to do it with smoking ANYTHING. And I’m tired of hearing all of these “it might be a miracle cure for every disease ever”. I don’t care. It needs to be legalized on the grounds that people can do with their bodies what they want as long as those choice have no impact on others. It doesn’t need to be a miracle cure to be legal. It just needs to be legal. And once it’s legal then actual medical studies can be conducted in the United States to determine how medicinal it really is.
Don’t listen to the haters here, you make a fine point. First, we stop criminalizing it. Let the hatred and the worship fade a bit. Then we can focus on objectively determining it’s uses, it’s dangers, and it’s place in society.
share this magical place where people are offering free drugs and even insist that I do them?
Asking for a friend
I can’t do something so I don’t want anyone else to be able to do it either! The more they enjoy it the more I seethe with anger!
Probably because it is… Cannabis smoke isn’t that healthy overall, but it’s found to be safer than Tobacco smoke is at least. It doesn’t carry nearly the carcinogenic risks of tobacco, and afaik, it doesn’t carry the same risks for COPD, chronic bronchitis, etc. Though longer term studies would be needed for those to get real data to know for sure.
I’m glad they feel that way
I guess it must be true
Yeah, it doesn’t mean much but it should mean something for legalization. Supposedly the beliefs of the people are what matters (we all know this isn’t true), so if people think it’s safer than tobacco then either tobacco should be illegal or weed should be legal.
It’s definitely safer to society than alcohol. As long as that’s legal, many other drugs should be as well.
Anything that is being burnt is not good to smoke.
Spotted the vaporent XD
Vape is also bad for you. Lungs are designed to take oxygen.
Yeah ofc, but it’s still way better than combustion
