Not for me.
Are you nationwide?
Who says that [pot is not that harmful]? Not the state governments that have legalized it.
No just the people trying to justify the legalization.
I support legalization and I say the opposite.
I have heard many times that it isn't as bad for you as cigs and that is bs.
Can you prove that? The clinical and epidemiological evidence against tobacco is stronger than that against pot.
And don't be fooled, our children are hearing it too and a kid, wouldn't have tried it before, will try it now.
So the claim that it's not harmful is more widespread now than before? Can you prove that?
As are alcohol and tobacco - should those be banned to send a message to kids?
Well yes. Actually, it is banned for kids.
And so should pot be - and is in the states that have legalized it. Should alcohol and tobacco be banned for adults to send a message to kids?
After all it is “medical” and so it must be good for you.
Yeah, that's why kids are scarfing down blood pressure medicine and menopause hormones.
No doubt yes, if those meds gave a person a high
Irrelevant to your claim about kids using because of its medical properties.
Defies logic. Please provide your stat. If there are 10 liquor stores within a few miles of my home versus one pot dealer downtown, liquor is going to be more available. That was my experience. The fact that I was underage was a minor inconvenience because legal adults provided what I needed.
> I support legalization and I say the opposite.
Good. Most every pro person I have talked has made some pretty ridiculous claims. Everyone needs to hear the truth. Especially kids.

Tobacco vs. Marijuana
Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals. There are 33 cancer-causing chemicals contained in marijuana. Marijuana smoke also deposits tar into the lungs. In fact, when equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked, marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes.
Marijuana smoke is also an irritant to the lungs, and frequent marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems experienced by people who smoke tobacco. These include coughing and phlegm production on most days, wheezing, bronchitis, and greater risk of lung infection.

No, punish the heck out of the adults you give it to kids. 10 year mandatory.
> Irrelevant to your claim about kids using because of its medical properties.
My claim is there is a lot of BS out there about it and the “medical” benefits. I have heard people claim that it cures cancer which, of course, is total BS.
