Is it really that unhealthy? I heard tobacco is more deadly, though I'd like to know how much of it is enough to actually kill you or harm you significantly, if possible at all. Also, is this site for real? or is it something that the police made do to, like, sting operations or something of that nature?

To put it in perspective, no one has ever actually died directly from marijuana use.

If you want to see how much dope it takes to kill you...look at Bob Marley.
Marijuana is definetly healthier as Mr. Marley died because he smoked at least a few bricks a day.

Marijuana is not chemically addictive, and it doesn't have any harmful substances other than the smoke. Sure, THC can affect your brain, but that's after extended periods of marijuana use. Marijuana isn't manufactured, so there aren't any chemicals put into it.

Tobacco is FAR more deadlier. One, it has nicotene, which is an addictive chemical. Two, it has tar, which destroys your lungs.

Also, a brick of weed is around one pound. A pound of weed goes for around one grand. Smoking "a few bricks a day" would require him to be a billionaire, and have a pretty reliable dealer.

sorry about bumping this, but I figured this is related to the topic.
On 4/20 on attack of the show, they talked about this pot haven nicknamed "youngsterdam" in the middle of toronto. What's the town's official name?

In terms of drugs, not all are immediately harmful (to our knowledge). Large doses of LSD may not kill you, but the hallucinations may tell you to jump off a bridge or shoot people or whatnot.
Marijuana does have a large amount of shit in it that can hurt you and kill you in the long run, but I do not believe that you can overdose on pot.

While its true marijuana has not been directly associated with any direct deaths, you have to remember that smoke causes lung cancer, whether it be from weed or house fires. Also, another problem is marijuana is a gateway drug and is usually the first step in using more dangerous drugs. Do what ever the hell you want, just don't put other people in danger.

The only major health risk is that the smoke itself can cause cancer and hurt your lungs. But there are ways to injest pot without smoking it.

Also, is this site for real? or is it something that the police made do to, like, sting operations or something of that nature?

It's legal because it's shitty herbal knockoff pot that doesn't do anything. Don't buy it

The gateway drug theory is widely accepted as false. The drugs people experiment first most of the time are Nicotine, Alcohol, and Caffeine.

Cannabis contains the cannabinoid cannabidol, which fights cancer growth, it's tar is also non-radioactive so it's not contributing to cancer growth either. And you don't have to smoke it.

As far as the site, it's a scam. They sell you some kind of plant made to look like pot but it has no actual drug to it.

I know plenty of stoners at my school with higher grads then kids who don't smoke it and have zero problems.

Anyway...
This whole stereotype of stoners being stupid really needs to be chucked. I blame all the stupid anti-weed ads and junk the government pushed on kids durring the years and that stupid D.A.R.E. program which really should dare to tell the truth.

Stoners are poeple too. Weed is harmless as long as you keep your habit under control and are responsible. Don't smoke an ounce a day type thing and don't be a chronic smoker who smokes morning, noon, and night. Smoke every evening or at a time that suits well.
Their are long term side effects, but short-term memory loss ain't so bad and a smokers couph is easy to deal with, plus if you use a vape it's even easier on you and no couph. ^^

If your wonderin' what it does to you thats easy.
THC enters your bloodstream from you lungs via smoking. From their it rushes upstream to your brain where the cannibisiods(spelt wrong probably:P) meet recepters in your brain which trigger a unique effect on your nervous system known as being high. :3

The rolling paper has a higher chance of causing cancer then the actual weed. The actual weed doesn't cause real memory loss either. It just delays cell growth.
By delaying the cell growth in certain parts of the brain, your memory is delayed or "lost".
Also, though it's true smoking it can cause cancer like many things - it has a less chance to give you cancer then cigerattes. A big one too. In fact cigerattes have 40% more tar in them then weed does.

Finally, due to the cell growth being delayed. Cancer cells would also be delayed too. Therefore it helps provent cancer while causing it in. Sort of a double-edged sword.

Any more questions? Send me a PM or comment on my userpage. I live in Vancouver, Canada. aka Vansterdam! :P

most people die from the actions they do after using massive amounts of it
some countries allow marijuana but only in small doses , and they mix it with tobacco so it isnt as harmful as direct marijuana

I agree, plus they add all that crap to the tabacco so it isnt natural, as for it being addictive, i think that it is all in the state of you mind when you are getting high, and not only do i think this for weed, but also for any drug, it all depends on the enviroment you are in when your doing the drugs and getting out of it helps,

the legal "bud" that they sell on that site has the THC taken out. It doesn't do anything but maybe smell a little bit.

But no it has been scientifically proven that it is less harmful to you then cigarettes, and it has no chemically addictive substances in it. The only negative effect I've ever noticed is that it makes you lazy as hell.

I'll answer your questions, Weed is about the same in unhealthiness as a cigarette, Only without the extreme addiction that cigarettes cause (I haven't smoked any green for about a week now, a cigarette, smoker would find this hard, cigarettes are stupid anyway) No one has died from marijuana use ALONE, they die when they combine it with other, more dangerous drugs. Also, that site is legal it just sells fake green, some crazy stuff probably Datura or something.
