Granted, you can't OD, and its technically not addictive (however i always seem to be feindin for it once in a while). But your going to HAVE to stop smoking sometime! (that is , if you want a family). All the kids i know whose parents smoked are drug dealers now. Besides it DOES create memory loss (studies have shown short term). But if you smoke almost everyday, thats just as well as long-term memory loss. Bottom line is, anything but clean air going into your lungs is not healthy, and whether or not we partake in activities that are in fact riskier than smoking weed should have nothing to do with it. And weed is a gateway drug, because everybody starts with weed, then ponders what other drugs will feel like. I'm not tellin y'all what to do, but basically, i just have better shit to do.

It's much healthier then smoking tobacco. The short term memory loss has to do with concentration, and that side effect goes away when your receptors are done with the canniboid. Smoking daily does not create long term memory loss. Restudy, short term has nothing to do with things like "what did i eat this morning"
and the effects are MUCH less then alcahol.
Anything but clean air? Uh oh, you better sell your car and stay at home, especially off the freeways. If you smoke pot without being a moron its a very small amount of smoke (compared to tobacco smokers), and when your in traffic you breath crap in for hours.
Weed is not a gateway drug, read the research. There is NO connection between marijuana use and hard drug use, read the figures.
Are you saying that Alcahol is a gateway drug also? Studies show that people who took hard drugs started on Alcahol... But you don't consider that a "horrible" thing do you. Just because it's illegal does not mean it's worse then the things that are legal.
Please go read CURRENT research. Research done in the 70s was horrible. Go find a report where a doctor strapped a gas mask to a monkeys face and made him breath in marijuana smoke for five minutes straight, the levels they gave that monkey were thousands more then a normal smoker would take.
