I ain't saying that tobacco is benign. What I am saying is that marijuana is mind altering, while tobacco isn't.

Nicotine and THC are both classified as psychoactive drugs. The surgeon issue is a red herring.

Please tell me how your operation on your appendics done by Tommy Chong went.

Whoops wait a minute, you may not be around to tell me.

"Nicotine and THC are both classified as psychoactive drugs."

Is that supposed to be significant? Caffeine is the most popular psychoactive drug.

Dane's point is that marijuana is a mind-altering drug, which places it in a different class than nicotine. The fact that they're both psychoactive drugs doesn't mean squat.

I don't think so. I have smoked almost my entire life and have smoked my fair share of dope when I was younger. I have never experienced any diminished mental capacity after smoking a cigarette where as I know for a fact I am not safe to drive a car while stoned. If I am stoned, figuring out the stereo remote control might be something of a chore.

I have to agree with Dane, I would not want a surgeon to be cutting on me after he had been smoking dope.
