Cigarettes are much more harmful then pot is and Ill explain why. Just follow my logic for a min. A regular sized bowl of weed is equal to 20 cigarettes. I get high about 2-3 times a month, so thats 60 cigarettes a month. My dad smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Since a pack contains 20 cigarettes his smoking 40 cigarettes a day. If you times that by the number of days in a year which is 14,600 cigarettes a year, vs my 720 cigarettes in a year.
My mom smokes about a pack a day. 20*365=7,300.
Lets say you smoke five a day, you would be smoking 1,825 a year to my 720 cigarettes, which is my 3 bowls a month. Someone that smokes 3 cigarette's a day is still smoking 1,095 cigarette's a year, which is still more then I smoke. I smoke equivalent two 2 cigirettes a day. 2*365-730.

No filters on pot, maybe?
Great math, but it's all justification. Inhaling smoke is bad for your lungs, whether it's a few cigs at a party, a bowl once a month or 2 packs a day everyday.
Not to mention, if you get caught, the penalties are worse for pot than for cigarettes. You can try to change the law, if you like, but for now that's the way things are.

I like the thought you put into this thesis of yours. It just goes to show what a person will do to justify their buzz. I guess in my life I probably smoked at least 10 lbs of weed. Maybe more,maybe less. But I do know that pot is better for you than alcohol. If I had never taken a drink in my life I would be a much wealthier and more secure person now. And I could have smoked a bag of weed a day.

I hate them both but at least cigarettes are less likely to cause you to forget your wife and kids or make you unfit to hold on to a proper job.
Here's something you should understand. They're both harmful. Just a difference of whether you'd rather get killed by an alligator or a tiger. You're gonna die either way.
There are people who do stuff their religion or the law says you can't. But these laws aside, what does your own brain tell you? If it's spending it's sober hours coming up with such equations to justify you smoking pot, you're halfway gone already.
Think.

It isn't. That is, if you don't use it so excessively that it makes you so kicked back you can't do your job, deal with your life, etc. People who aren't informed have a very convoluted view of marijuana. Alcohol is FAR more dangerous, to the drinker, & those around him/her. But it's legal. Go figure. It's also been opined, that marijuana WILL LEAD TO HARDER DRUGS. Please, someone, give me credible statistics on this! If used in moderation, it is NOT addictive. For pain, or simply relaxation, it doesn't have the side effects of almost all pain killers & anti-drepressants. So, anyone can critizice me from here to hell & gone; in my experience, marijuana can be extremely helpful. NOT USED EXCESSIVELY. Let the bashing begin. I don't mind in the least.

Pot is more harmful then cigarettes because you do not wind up in prison for smoking cigarettes.
If you think this is a stupid reply, check out the prison shower scene from "Americian History X".

Come on...lets get to the point.
Both are addictions, one legal and one illegal.
Smoking pot is no happy event.
Saying or stating that smoking is worse, is only a justification to inhale some reefs without the fear of being criticized
Thats it, some pretext or false reason to break the law...

from a purely chemical standpoint, pot isn't more dangerous.
but - since it is illegal, the pure act of obtaining it puts you closer to harm. the things you'll do to get high, and when you are high are more dangerous. once you're high, your judgment is skewed which can cause you to make bad decisions you wouldn't make if you weren't high.
i've smoked a lot of weed. it's fun for awhile, but it's a waste of time. be careful!
