Am I the only one wondering WHY there is a crusade to legalize POT smoking while tobacco smoking is being outlawed and reviled. Why is it bad to smoke one plant but damn near holy to smoke another? Isn`t ALL smoke bad for your lungs? Will no smoking laws apply to weed? Are the legalize marijuana people going to obey the laws against smoking? Will it be ok to smoke weed where tobacco smoking is forbidden? Are tobacco smokers going to stand for the discrimination? No one ever discusses the contradictions of criminalizing the enjoyment of one plant while legalizing and praising the other. And I don`t-and have never-smoked.I suspect that after enough people smoke pot regularly to provide a good statistical sample, we will find that pot is a great deal more harmful, health-wise, than cigarettes.

There is no doubt in my mind that marijuana is harmful. It ALTERS the brain and perceptions. I was a teen in the 60’s, I saw, first hand, intelligent people reduced to mumbling,drugged idiocy. If it didn’t do ANYTHING why would anyone want to smoke it? It didn’t enhance anyone’s intelligence or communication skills- it dumbed them down, ‘mellowing’ them to the point of nodding vegetation.
Back then, science said constant use killed brain cells, and I believe it. The smoke in your lungs has to be harmful, same as tobacco, but tobacco doesn’t make anyone stoned.I didn’t get the desire to hamper your brain then, and I don’t now.
My question still is- if tobacco smoke is so offensive and harmful that it’s ok to outlaw smoking it just about everywhere, what are pro-pot types going to do if they can’t smoke where cigarette people can’t? Or will they be allowed? No one brings that up. Will we be able to shun nasty pot smoke the way cigarette smoke is demonized?
