lol....im cool

from what i heard every plant or flower have about 400 chemicals, but their all non harmful chemicals, the chemicals in cigs are like tar and rat poisoning, stuff that kills you

welp, after reading that article i was pretty scared, i mean, it just made it sound like weed was the eqivelent of cigarettes. but the reasoning here has told me that i'm better off just sticking w/weed. Ciggys r still way worse, and tho i actually do value my health..i really don't think it's guna harm me enuf to shorten my life to the extent where i'd b happyer to never experience weed again
and think about it, they're only speculating what the "excess death" toll per year WOULD b if cannabis WERE as harmful as tobacco. they don't say anywhere that they have actual evidence that this is true.
and true, to the fact that we ingest SOOOOOOOOO many diff chemicals just thru breathing the air, eating our fast food/pesticide-coated produce/anything in a package and drinking the water.

This is what they say about some of the Chemicals in Erowid.

The fact that there are over 60 unique chemicals in cannabis, called `cannabinoids,' is something that scientists find very interesting. Many of these cannabinoids may have valuable effects as medicine. For example, `cannabinol' is a cannabinoid which can help people with insomnia. Doctors think that this chemical is why most patients prefer to use marijuana rather than pure Delta-9-THC pills (called dronabinol) -- the cannabinol takes the edge off being `high' and calms the nerves. Another cannabinoid, `cannabidiolic acid', is a very effective anti-biotic, like pennicillin. Many of these chemicals can be extracted from marijuana without any fancy laboratory equipment.

i think weed is so much safer then cigs. cigs have tar and cyinide and other seriously dangerous shit. ( fucking tabbaco companies ) i think cigs should be outlawed and weed should be legalized. shure you act dumber on weed but you could actully be curing somthing you didnt know you had lol!

About bloody time someone referenced Erowid.

The number of chemicals is irrelivent, and the ones previously stated were incorrect anyway. I'm surprised noone thought to look at Erowid.
