Question

Weed is not 5X worse than cigarettes, Its 5X better for you!?

Answer 1

i can  stop smoking weed.pretty easy.try to stop cigs.you will  just about sell your mom to get a cig.

Answer 2

Intentionally putting smoke in your body is never better for you.  It may be "cigs are 5x worse than pot"

Answer 3

Inhaling smoke into your body is harmful, no matter what the plant source! Weed is not proven to help mental health problems, just the opposite....depression, suicide etc are well documented. The only beneficial use for weed is for the terminally ill/cancer sufferers who may find some relief from their symptoms.

Answer 4

that's actually a myth. it true that there are fewer carcinogens in weed, and people usually smoke less weed than tobacco, but its actually more carcinogenic since homemade joints dont have as good of filters as manufactured tobacco cigs so more of the tar and c**p makes it to your lungs.

Answer 5

im not gunna say its 5 times better cause theres no number that will actually calculate this

but what we do know is that pot can lead to lung cancer and all those respiratory problems but marijuana has been proven to help prevent several mental illnesses like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's also it was been proven,contrary to popular belief, that marijuana promotes the growth on new brain cells as well as effectively killing off certain cancerous brain cells

Answer 6

Yeah, people talk about the effects of weed on the lungs but they don't realize that you don't smoke anywhere NEAR the same of weed as you would tobacco. Some people smoke a pack a day, I could never smoke that much weed!!

As for it being a gateway drug, that's ridiculous. In the Netherlands, only 1% of the population uses drugs (where it's legal) whereas it's 3% here (and illegal). And besides, if it were a gateway drug wouldn't the Dutch and Jamaicans all be heroin users by now? It's the not the weed that's a gateway drug, it's the user's own PERSONAL DECISION to try other things. Besides, the REAL GATEWAY DRUG IS ALCOHOL and nicotine. I know people who've smoked weed for years... and they don't even use cigarettes.

Quit reading the propaganda and learn the facts.

Answer 7

Marijuana is without a doubt much healtheir for you to smoke versus tobacco. Smoking anything, peroid, is unhealthy though. The thing about it is, you don't need to actually smoke the marijuana to get the physcoactive effects (to get stoned) of the substance. You can also eat it and make cannabutter and use that as an ingrediant to make many marijuana-foods. Although most people do smoke it as it is a lot easier to roll a joint or pack a bowl in a pipe and light it up, if people took the time to make cannabutter or some other marijuana food preparation they could all still get really high (and the high lasts LONGER than smoking it too, double positive) without having to worry about damaging their lungs!

Answer 8

Its safer. smoke it through a BONG the water filters out certain chemicals. so its safer than smoking cigarettes. which has much more chemicals due to the paper also. smoking a joint of marijuana i do not know. But through a bong its safer den smoking cigarettes.

Answer 9

Smoking weed with tobacco has a lower risk of cancer than just smoking tobacco. Smoking weed without tobacco therefor is much less dangerous than smoking only tobacco.

Answer 10

You have it exactly right! Congradulations your the first person educated about this subject on these internet sites. Read up on it and dont you Dare listen to people who tell you otherwise.

Answer 11

Just becassue marijuana has a smaller chance of giving you lung cancer doesn't mean it still isn't bad for you. Pot still can give you lung cancer and you actually inhale more tar, chemicals and carbon monoxide from smoking it becasue there are no filters on joints. Weed hurts the memory and the ability to learn and basically kills the brain with every puff. Marijuana is a gateway drug meaning that once you become dependent on pot to get high everyday, you will only want a higher high and use harderr, more dangerous drugs. So you can't say that weed isn't as bad or worse than cigarettes becasue clearly it is. Not only in the health aspects but addiction takes over your life  and cahnges your whole way of living.
