Do You Think It’s Silly That Tobacco Is Legal While Marijuana Is Not?
Question by mutterhals: Do you think it’s silly that tobacco is legal while marijuana is not?
“An exhaustive search of the literature finds no credible reports of deaths induced by marijuana. The US Drug Abuse Warning Network records instances of drug mentions in medical examiners’ reports, and though marijuana is mentioned, it is usually in combination with alcohol or other drugs. Marijuana alone has not been shown to cause an overdose death” – Quote via the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Administration
“Tobacco use is considered to be the most important preventable cause of death and disease in the United States; More than 1 billion people smoke worldwide, and an estimated 3 million die each year from tobacco-related illness. Despite all of its documented consequences, tobacco use continues to play an important role in the morbidity and mortality of this country (U.S.)”- Quote via U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services
I think they should take everyone on anti-depressants and give them some fat doobies…it’s also been noted that marijuania users are less depressed….

I think that it’s silly that beer is legal and pot is not.
Pot is not, I made a rhymie
pot is not
pot is not
lol
Absolutely.
YES
Yes i do. You know the only reason it is cause the govermet can’t easily tax it like tobacco.
Yeah I do think it’s silly & very stupid.
I don’t think either should be legal. They both kill.
It is. Marijuana should be legalized as well as other recreational drugs. For that matter, prostitution should be too. The government is losing out big time on potential tax earnings.
Yep it’s the strangest thing in the world.
I think it’s silly that any plant which grows naturally on the earth can be made illegal.
I think it’s silly that we don’t allow and regulate most forms of drugs. Think of all the excise tax-revenue we could get from this stuff! Heck, anyone stupid enough to do it is stupid enough to pay for it, much like cigarettes and alcohol!
Get a grip. One alters your perceptions, the other does not.
no i think it is corect
1.Marijuana is the Best selling crop in the U.S.and has been for years.
2.If the U.S.made it legal and taxed it like they tax tobacco the deficit would disappear.
Marijuana is legal in some of our states, not in others. Its like how can anyone draw a line in the dirt and say one one side its ok to smoke, etc. on the otherside, not. The line of course is the State separation line. Kind of like prostitution legal in Nevada but not in California?
yeah, i just don’t get that, i feel the same way about weed and alcohol. Being drunk could be worse than being high.
You are right of course. And alcohol is legal, when it also kills, not just with drunk driving, but with a total yellowing of the body due to liver disease. Pot keeps those who are already dying well enough to eat often, or at least eases their pain.
I personally think that alcohol/tobacco/marijuana should all be banned!@
i think the whole thing around cananbis is totally over hyped… and as you say not enough shown from the good it can do …as opposed to tobbacco …thats the addictive part of smoking …cannabis doesnt contain nicotine or tar ….no health warning there …tobbacco …well thats the killer.. the worst youll do with cannabis is sleep and a nice one at that …one of the benefits i gained from it was….ive been a very bad eater, all my life….i dont eat alot ..dont have a very good appetite… thanks to the munchies, i have gained a bit of weight now and eat more..than i used to …over a period of years..and i can relax more than i could …and i have stopped for 2 1/2 yrs..but couldnt stop the tobbacco…so it shows me which is worse …
In my opinion, it’s absolutely ridiculous that marijuana is illegal. I wonder if there are other industries that would suffer if it became legal?? Maybe the tobacco industry? The cotton industry, due to hemp production? I really doubt it’s illegal because the government is concerned with our health…..have you seen what the schools serve children for lunch?!?
actually i agree with you on this one. i do think it could be legalized, but that if it was, it would need to be regulated like alcohal and tobacco sales are. i know it’s really bad for your lungs, but then so are cigs and they are legal.
If people want to smoke cigarettes and kill themselves fine I don’t care but what bothers me is if someone smokes some weeds and drives a car and kills someone else. I think it is silly that people think weed is more harmless than tobacco I can operate my car just fine after I have had a cigarette but not if I smoked some weed. It is bad enough that we have alcohol legalized all we need is another dangerous substance available to who ever wants it.
Classic Lilly!
Classic Lilly! <3
Pac Mana nd Tomlin good combination!
