Marijuana use is much more dangerous that believed and hundreds of young people die each year in "accidents" caused by their prolonged use of the drug, according to Britain's most senior coroner.
Hamish Turner, the president of the Coroners' Society, told The Telegraph that the marijuana, often portrayed as harmless, has increasingly been the cause of deaths that have been reported as accidents or suicides.

i know a lot of people have been smoking weed for 10 years or more, easily and no one has lung cancer yet. not to say they never will as many of them are smokers as well but just consider the amount of marijuana smoked compared to cigarettes. 3 bongtokes (water filtered) is all it takes to get high. compare that to say 50 puffs from 1 cigarette, though most people don't just smoke one cigarette but on average 8-10 per day, if not more. also you are smoking a lot of bleached paper with the cigarettes. of course inhaling any smoke isn't good for you but the sheer difference in usage between cigarettes and marijuana makes it very hard to compare.

I know plenty of people as well, I used to smoke a lot of weed back in the day too.

It's definitely not remotely as bad as cigarettes, but still, the smoke has all the harmful elements of cigarettes if not more, (tar and carbon monoxide being the worse).

I hate both sides of it, the people who spread propaganda like Marijuana kills and those who spread propaganda that it's perfectly harmless.

There is no recreational drug that doesn't come with a price tag. Getting high is getting high, it's a drug, no matter what you try to tell yourself, or what you compare it to that's more harmful.

Your own fucking source said "However, the study did find that the drivers given marijuana were more easily distracted when under the influence." Gosh, lemme think...more easily distracted...while driving...and Wiki has 2004 worldwide stats estimating 1.2 million people were killed in car accidents. You don't think ONE death out of all of those just MIGHT be someone a little more distracted due to smoking pot?

Give me a break.

Well said. :2 cents:
