I have no strong preconceived notions one way or the other about the health effects of smoking. I believe that going through life mostly sober is the best path, much as I hate to admit it !
I think there is no disputing that.

Is it wrong to eat a Blueberry Muffin that looks just like your dog?
Not when you're high.

It's very unlikely since the drug has such an incredibly low toxicity (look up the LD50 yourself) and mimics a natural brain chemical, I think its called anandamide.
I hate to change the subject but what disturbs me are the brain lesions observed at even moderate altitudes in climbers on Mt Rainier. Now there is something you can really worry about. A published study was done on Mt Everest but the damage also appears to occur at hiking/trekking elevations.

Question is, what would long-term, chronic use do to your brain chemistry?
I expect to have results of my long term study available in early 2059. Stay tuned up.

The best thing about sobriety is that smug sense of superiority you feel over people who use drugs and alcohol as a crutch for dealing with reality.

Bluering--what's the deal, you used to be someone who drank a lot and smoked a lot, and now you're someone who drinks a lot, smokes a little?
And you consider that to be an improvement to your health?
Logically, that is a fact, right? Smoking pot, or anything, is detrimental to yer health. As is alcohol, because the liver treats alcohol as a toxin.
They're both not 'healthy'.
If I quit one one, I should be healthier as long as I don't over-compensate with the other.
My wife is not a big fan of pot. She was always kinda straight, with the occassional wine-cooler. She doesn't understand why people do drugs because she never experimented or needed them.
She doesn't rag on me when I take a couple of hits off a joint every once in a while, she just doesn't see why I do it, or would want to.
Personally, I can do without it, I usually only do it when someone sticks it in my face. But nowadays, I tend to forego it if I'm rolling a beer-buzz. They don't mix well with me. Ask Michelle....

Not smoking put because it is unhealthy is kind of like polishing a turd in modern american society.
