Or should I rephrase to be politically correct in saying: "Less harmful"?

there is zero evidence that marijuana hurts you or causes any problems.
all that state otherwise have never read the fact sheets and only are going on "what they have heard". facts are facts....science has yet to prove anything against it.
Chinese have used it for 1,000's of years. native indians have used it for years...not to mention many other countries. the USA choose to pass laws against it and brain washed their society that its evil, bad, you'll kill people while on it, etc. after all...the CIA would rather have the coke sales as that is what they control.
in the early 1900's doctors gave it to patients that had black lung from working in the coal mines. it helped burn the coal dust out allowing them to breath better. today doctors won't say it on record but many chemo patients use it after treatments to deal w/ the nausea and the lack or desire for food.

It depends on how you are using it. It should be noted that both substances can be abused and normally are. Tobacco is far more easily abused --it's toxic to the human body. Tobacco affects chewers and smokers alike. However, marijuana is a bit different. Marijuana smokers /are/ at risk --when you inhale burned particles you /are/ inhaling toxic chemicals including carbon monoxide. However, marijuana can be eaten and can be made into tea, both of which are far less likely to do anything harmful. And like you probably already know, no one has ever overdosed on marijuana itself.

Marijuana has a lot less tar and, for the most part, have no added chemicals (ie- they add ammonia and other crap to tobacco products). Nonetheless, either, in excess, is not healthy.

Marijuana is much safer than tobacco. If eaten instead of smoked Marijuana is extremely safe.

There's about as much tar and nicotine in one joint as there is in an entire package of 20 cigarettes ... but if it's natural you're missing out on all those other chemicals cigarette manufacturers are poisoning people with.

Yes, because mj usually isn't tainted with a bunch of harmful chemicals as tabacco is.

when you look at your pipe, all the black crap in the screen is just a small indication of what is going in your lungs.
I smoked weed for over 30 years.
Gave it up.. feel better and have a lot more money.
