I realize those facts, but the vast majority of users will smoke. The government is not coming after the suppliers of smoking pot the way they came after the tobacco companies. I find it amazing that I cannot find any good research on the harmful effects of smoking pot. The little research I can find is clouded because many pot smokers are also tobacco smokers.

Again I simply cannot fathom that pot smoke would not be as bad or worse for the lungs as cigarettes. My own theory on the why, is that the government now populated with ex hippies is full on balls to the wall in favor of pot smoking. Funding research that might show pot as harmful as tobacco would upset the current paradigm, which also includes a lot of tax money from pot sales funding Leftist wish lists.

Of course I can prove nothing, but no one can disprove it either.

I don't find many articles regarding harmful effects from smoking, either. I do agree with you that it is harder on the lungs than cigarettes in one respect. You inhale pot more deeply and hold it for longer than you do cigarette smoke. That's what causes the lungs to burn. I understand totally that there are adverse reactions out there and a lot more research should be done.

I am not against pot. I have a good friend who has serious injuries sustained over a lifetime of physical jobs. He suffers from constant intense pain. His choices are opioids or pot. He prefers pot. However, most pot users are not sufferers of constant pain. They are pleasure users.

I got the shock of my life when I was at a party which was mostly 20 somethings. Us older folk were enjoying our alcohol, but the younger crowd were all smoking. What amazed me was the variety of gadgets they were using. Very little joint use as I had expected. These kids had water devices and other cool thingies.

Anyway I just see hypocrisy. If today's kids want to smoke pot, so be it. Then tobacco users should have the same freedom. Since they want to over tax cigarette smokers, then let them screw the pot smokers too, because I predict that decades from now the healthcare costs for pot smokers will be right up there with the tobacco users.

You should go into a shop that sells bongs. There are some fantastic pieces of glass art. Some you'd want just to put roses in, it's so pretty.

Oh the government is already there. They'll find a way to regulate and tax the hell out of it very soon, I imagine.

I know that the majority of people are recreational users. I guess you could call me that since I don't have any problems that would require anything medicinal when I have a hit or two with MOHD on occasion.

Are you ingesting Trump? You're statement makes no sense unless of course "you are allowing what other people say affect the quality of your being"!

Too bad you have to depend on a substance to help you deal with reality. Have you tried rehab/counsling/12 Step program?

I benefit from being outdoors in the fresh air until some dopehead like you lights up and pollutes the air. Carbon pollution is not the problem, but the smoke from your Marijuana usage is a serious problem. Now I know why your mind is F---ked up.

TDS has infected every aspect of your body. When Trump wanted to clean the swamp he had you in mind.

I hope no one dies because they read what you write here, decide to try it and end up in the morgue because someone sold them some pot that was laced with Fentanyl or Heroin or some other substance that makes it more addictive.

I don’t know that I would even trust the government not to do that with dispensary drugs after what they did with their Covid drugs they told everyone to take.

Please be thoughtful about this when you promote using drugs.

EmilyD, if you purchase it legally at a pharmacy, you won't get anything but pure pot. No fentanyl.

If you want to trust the government to sell you what THEY want you to buy and put in your body, good luck…Big Pharma is waiting for people like you.

There are many, many things that can make you addicted…and big Pharma knows what they are.

18-20% in tax money is very attractive to the government…

Leftist Loony, what did President Trump ever do to you personally that makes you hate him so much? He did a lot to help me. He worked on Veterans benefits, lowered taxes on the middle and lower class taxpayers, kept fuel and food costs down and was working on closing the border. The people that hate him the most are politicians on the take, paedophiles and human/child traffickers because he was going after all of them. Which category are you in???

The time I tried maybe 40 years ago was in the backseat of a car and I guess I didn't get enough of it to be affected. At my age I don't need to experiment with another vice. Alcohol, caffeine, and food are my addictions. Suddenly throwing up after getting drunk in my mid twenties kept me from following my family tradition of becoming an alcoholic. Now in moderation.

At fifty I had to switch to decafe coffee because my heart tended to race and I wanted to murder those around me who needed it. Food is the one addiction I have yet to conquer. I was the fat child in a litter of starving skeletons growing up. I think I ate one of the weak ones for a snack one day. Puberty slimmed me down. In my late twenties a co worker got me into running 10 k races. I ran 25 miles per week and could eat like a horse and have a beach body.

At 33 my body fell apart and I gradually had to stop running. 45 years and 45 lbs later my gastro doctor said, " you really need to do something. Your liver is too fat. " So now I am on a high protein powdered shake and pudding diet. It's a whole lot of fun going out to eat with friends and family watching everyone else stuff themselves, whilst I eat the microscopic side salad.

The diet, really a starvation diet, does work if you don't cheat too much. Now, if you want to talk gadgets, the fancy electronic scale that comes with the package, talks to my smart phone. It measures lbs, hydration, and % of body fat. It all goes to a nutritionist, who twice per month tells you if you were naughty or nice. So far I haven't been yelled out.
