Well...
Firstly
Unless you're a complete pot-head with insane amounts of cash or just daft, you probably mix a fair amount of tobacco in with your grass or resin or whatever. In fact tobacco probably makes up well over 50% of the J
Secondly
I bet you smoke the bifta without a filter eh? Ok... the healthy option so far 😉
Third
when you're ...[text shortened]... urself[/i] efforts over regular fags that I've missed out but hey - no-one's perfect! 🙂
Secondly - Agreed, it's no healthier, and unfiltered, but at least it's missing a good number of the chemicals that cigarettes are filled with.
Thirdly - Making efficient use of your smokeable product doesn't change it's health effects. Whether you rush through three joints without holding it in, or slowly smoke one joint but hold your breath in between doesn't change the fact that it screws up your lungs.
Fourthly - Agreed up until the "They." One thing about cannabis products that isn't the same as other illicit substances is the number of additives. The only "additive" I have ever experienced when smoking pot is other drugs, which people add in order to make their weak-ass ditch weed into something that gets you high.
Of course, my experiences are gained from living in Vancouver BC Canada years ago, and from the years I lived in Phoenix AZ USA. The access and quality is different depending on where you go.

No, Then the goverment would take it over, tax it, and the quailty would go to hell.
i read a story about a guy who was busted, and police found squirrels in cages in his basement along with the pot...
the guy said he was selling 50%-50% pot and squirrel crap, and his customers didn't know any different...
he was making a butt load of extra profits
if it's legal, you can get it at Wal-Mart and actually be assured you're getting what you paid for

Yeah, smoking pot is bad for you. Yeah, drinking is bad for you. Yeah, smoking cigarettes is bad for you. Eating McDonald's is bad for you. Drinking too much Coca-Cola is bad for you. Birthday cake - bad for you. Bacon - bad for you. Too much coffee - bad for you. Are all things that are bad for you illegal? No. The truth is that marijuana is n me, in their own time, do whatever they want so long as i doesn't directly harm anyone else.
i don't want my tax dollars going to help for some pot-head whether he's dying or not...

Also, how do you know what som Afghan has put in his vat of resin to make a block?
Have you sent samples for testing?!
I've heard henna is used to allow the stuff to crumble easily.
Thing is, is that you have know idea what's in a block of resin other than it releases the highly carcenogenic carbon monoxide when burnt - as does grass.
Originally posted by SquelchbelchIt didn't seem as though you did considering your post was all about the carcinogens in marijuana and carbon monoxide, etc.
Yes, you don't have to, but probably 90%+ hash is smoked as opposed to eaten.
I heard a drug "counsellor" on the radio the other weak. She was very anti-marijuana, and believed that her moral viewpoint was so superior to the pro side, that she could lie about the effects of Mary Jane (ie: that it was carcinogenic). She also referred to users as "wastes of space", and was incapable of holding reasoned debate, beyond shrilly shrieking.

Originally posted by SquelchbelchAgain, mine used to come from growers I knew or from my own plants. Apparently it is only commonplace in Europe to mix stuff with your weed. I also never had to much contact with hash - until I came back to Ireland, crap hash is what everyone smokes. I've never met hash that crumbles easily, and I'd be a bit afraid if I did. Henna is also plant matter, so while it reduces the potency it is not quite the same as adding arsenic to tobacco.

The funny thing about pot is that the people who smoke it are pretty judgemental and picky about the product. There is a whole rainbow of highs and textures and flavours and whatnot. I think that anyone who seriously likes to smoke pot is getting clean stuff, mainly because they are paying a premium to have a specific quality. When it comes to ditch-weed it's "caviat emptor" all the way.
As to the CO - agreed, no argument at all. As I said, it's not a "healthy" option by any stretch, but it's also (for the most part in my experience) not the chemical obstical course that cigarettes are.
Oddly enough, I smoke cigarettes, and as I've mentioned, I do not smoke pot. Anymore. This particular issue still boils down to your rights as a private citizen - should someone be able to arrest you because you want to smoke pot rather than drink whiskey and smoke cigarettes?
