It is interesting that liberals want people to be "free" to smoke weed, but not tobacco.

Vaping has also been declared as bad, despite there being many, many liberals in the vaping community.

OMG don't smoke this plant!!!! We'll tax and do everything we can to stop you, even though it's legal..... Guess we should make pot legal... |

What if they made it legal and RJ Reynolds started growing it for the masses???

NORMAL... must be beaten out of our culture...( consertive life style, living within your means, only buying things you can afford, accepting that you CANT always have what your neighbor has, ( nice car, college degree, etc ) ... ( that's all racist, xenophobic, unfair, and evil ) . and EVERYTHING, illegal, weird, immoral, etc, ( weed), things looked down upon previously, ( lazy, people , dumbass ideals, multiple kids with multiple men, criminal history, etc, ) and immoral, ( lgbt) MUST be welcomed with open arms... Christianity ( which is common, boring, and intrusive ) is the devil... but muslims are new and exotic, so we must embrace them. working hard, to finally have a nice life / house / job at 30-40-50 is evil... you SHOULD have that all, while working at mcdonalds, when your 18 years old now.... and if you don't 100% happily embrace whatever new thing they force on you.... your a racist, homophobe, muslim hater... |

From what I see by my liberal friends, Cannabis, in any form can cure everything and anything. It's medically proven to cure all diseases or aid in getting the nasty diseases in the first place. It is also proven to be 100% successful in the prevention and curing of cancer.
Just ask Bob Marley. |

Smoking anything is inherently bad for your lungs.
The freedom to do it is what matters. Cigarettes are pretty gross though. |

Oh trust me, they already are. Constant struggle between "We hate capitalism" and "Weed is awesome" around these parts. I'm sick of listening to it. |

Soil contains trace amounts of radioactive materials. Plants are bio-accumulators, see bananas and ionizing radiation from potassium isotopes.
When smoked (MJ and tobacco, not bananas), they can do lots of damage internally. Skin normally stops the damage. MJ will be shown to cause cancer soon enough, so the war on weed will meet the war on pain meds and heroin. |

Smoke what you want when you want, enjoy your decisions/consequences and let no one convince you that government can fix anything through control.

Is this some way for the OP to reason weed is bad because a liberal said its good? I don't get it.

They also place more value on a life on death row than that of an unborn child.
Stop talking to libtards... |

Help me make sense of this apparent conflict in their reasoning? What am I missing? View Quote I'm not defending them. I don't smoke pot. I don't smoke cigarettes. The tobacco is not the problem it's all the chemicals they add. Most of what's in a cigarette is not tobacco it's doped paper. Since pot is presumably all natural (not saying it is) then health wise it would be better for you than commercially made cigarettes. There are sources for 100% natural tobacco. If you smoke this natural tobacco the health risks associated with it compared to pot is probably negligible. Either way none of it is good for you. |

I think it's only been declared bad by the Gov and scientists who refuse to look at it without bias. The latest thing I read about it was to the effect of "There is not enough data for long term use issues, but vaping to quit smoking is certainly more healthy than continuing to smoke." That was a UK study that was later echoed in the US about a month ago. I don't know if it changed any policies, though. |

Help me make sense of this apparent conflict in their reasoning? What am I missing? View Quote While inhaling any smoke is not good for your lungs, pot smoke is much less harmful than tobacco smoke. Note that many folks mistake "less harmful" for "not harmful". And there are medicinal uses for pot, where the helpfulness outweighs the badness of the smoke to your lungs. |

View Quote We have had tens of millions of people smoking tens of millions of pounds of illegal pot from uncertain origins for the last fifty years. When do you suppose we will have some clear signs that it causes cancer? |

Vegan/vegetarian diet = good, healthy.
Wheat bread = healthy Gluten = Your dick flying off like a bottle rocket. Never understood how they came to that conclusion, since we've been eating wheat bread for what... Three thousand years? Tobacco = lung cancer liquor = must be taxed or it's bad! pot = no health risks whatsofuckingever. Nevermind that weed kills brain cells. Not as many as alcohol, but still. ETA: Their reasoning is shit, and based solely on their 'feelz.' Remember that, and you will understand why they say the things they do. |

Chances are if you smoked as much pot by volume as smokers do tobacco everyday, it would be just as bad if not worse.
