I find that particular revelation rather surprising, if I'm honest. The correlation between smoking and cancer is very well-established by now. Yes, okay, there's a different plant involved, but that doesn't change the fact that you're incinerating it, sucking the smoke, half-burnt residue, carbon monoxide and god-knows-what-else into your lungs and breathing it back out.
Ozymandias:
Marijuana. Tobacco. One of these things is still legal. It's not the less deadly one.
The illegalization of marijuana was a political maneuver starting in the southwestern United States during Prohibition and the Great Depression to have an excuse to arrest and deport Mexican migrant workers. Since it's much cheaper to grow and make than alcohol, poor people an immigrants would grow it and smoke it as an alternative to alcohol to relax. By criminalizing it, it allowed for the governments of these states to take action against them. [Source: the goddamned History Channel of all places]

I do not do pot and have no desire to do pot, but when compared to cigarettes and alcohol, it's the safest of all three. Yeah, you're smoking it so of course it'll do lung damage and it makes you high so it'll kill some brain cells, but seriously it is the safest buzz out there. Alcohol can kill your liver and you can easily get alcohol poisoning. Cigarettes can ruin your lungs and give you various cancers of the lungs, throat, and mouth. I have yet to meet someone who chain smokes pot. Seriously. Yes it's a drug and it's not necessarily good for you (though I see it good for people with cancer), but I think it's one of the least harmful things you could do to your body.
SeanBateman:
When people say "I don't do pot" I always laugh because that is like someone saying "I don't do cigarettes" or "I don't do apples" because you eat an apple and you smoke pot you don't do pot.
