Whats worse Marijuana or Tobacco?

Answer 1

It's been a year now that I stopped smoking cigarettes after 43 years, and my mouth waters every time I smell cigarette smoke; I've never smoked Marijuana (or have EVER used any illegal substance, even though I look like an aging hippie with my graying ponytail). I guess that one of the reasons why tobacco is worse is that it is acceptable, more or less, in our society and has been for many, many, many decades (centuries?)

I ALSO believe that tobacco is worse than Marijuana because of the processed fillers and additives and the deliberately added addictive chemicals by the tobacco industry that causes people to crave smoking, even they wish to stop and it is affecting their breathing, and adding to the potential risks of lung cancer, throat cancer, mouth cancer, lip cancer, cancer of the esophagus, etc. Marijuana, if not altered and has no additives is safer... somewhat like smoking lettuce but with the "extra kick" that many people with addictive personalities crave for. I've known people that have smoked Marijuana since they were teenagers... and they older than I am and still toting away... (me? I can't stand the stink).

What can ANYONE say when the entire medical establishment is against cigarettes (and all public campaigns are against it) and it it still legal yet Marijuana is illegal in spite the many medical benefits (cancer patients, glaucoma patients, etc)?

The only reason why cigarettes are still legal in spite of the already known cancer-causing reports by the medical establishment (and several private foundations, and many past and present Surgeon Generals) is that it is a humongous industry worldwide, brings in revenue, taxes, employs people (and farmers) and they have a very powerful lobby that lines the pockets of sleazy, slimy, crooked politicians that not only betray the public's trust but break the law (by accepting expensive gifts and money) as they also betray the public's best interests.

Let's face it, the tobacco industry has seduced many crooked money-hungry politicians (who don't smoke) who are aware of the psychological campaigns (advertisements designed for psychological effects) directed at the youth and general public here and in Third World countries.

What can you say when mayors, governors, senators, representatives, surgeon generals, the medical establishment and even private foundations and organizations are against publicly cigarettes yet it is perfectly legal in spite of the overwhelming proof that it causes cancer and eventual death... which also is a cause of the high cost of medical benefits, health care, etc., and a drain on our economy? Seems oxymoronic, no? Tobacco is far worse!

Answer 2

Tobacco is worse.

This person does NOT know what he is talking about.

Marijuana, it's stronger than tobacco and also screws up your thinking, which in turn point many people towards a more potent drug. Many tobaccos are all natural, no chemicals at all. Marijuana must be enhaled (or why even smoke it?) tobacco need not be.

^^ Marijuana is not a gateway drug

Marijuana is surprisingly innocuous. the only negativity from marijuana is the smoke. yet fullyyt, no person has ever gotten lung maximum cancers from marijuana fullyyt. no person has ever overdosed; as that's practically impossible to do. Marijuana brings inner & outer peace in a single's self. it is practically ******* impossible to get right into a combat at the same time as you're extreme on marijuana. you're able to or won't be extra careful/paranoid while specifically circumstances alongside with driving a motor vehicle. Or handling a concern. Alcohol messes up your liver for particular.

MANY reasons of highway injuries are alcohol appropriate. Tobacco reasons maximum cancers. Tobacco is likely considered one of the precise reasons for death worldwide extensive. Tobacco is only undesirable for you, & anybody else in this worldwide.
