Not that anyone thought it did..but
When you inhale carcinogens they get absorbed into your lungs and thus begins the cancer process, now apparently THC stops this process and blocks cancer growth completely. neat eh? even if you put THC on a cig it'll still work that way.

Cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is a gene that is turned on at the onset of cancer. Therefore, if you induce, or turn on this gene it will lead to the formation of cancer.
Lower CYP1A1 enzyme activity in weed only indicates that marijuana induces smaller amounts of CYP1A1 when compared to cigarettes. However, CYP1A1 is still created. |

weed was only illegalised in the 1930's, by the state of California.
Marijuana puffing mexican soldiers were blamed for violent crime rise by the local government (even though there was more than enough proof it wasn't them), and the illegalisation caused a tidal wave across the US. Many other states began to illegise the drug, due to it's association with "jazz music", and it was found some "negro's" were getting very rich by importing from Mexico and Cuba, and of course, middle class white folk in the 30's can't be having that, I mean, next they'd be wanting equal rights! :rolleyes:
If anybody on earth can show me proof that cannabis is more dangerous than either alcohol or nicotine, I'd love to see it ;) |

| from frist hand experience i can see how weed would cause more violence... it can do some weird things to people, change their mentalities and attitudes towards life...i think weed should be strongly regulated and is definetly not for everyone... it can make you extremely lazy, and some people don't have the strength to crawl out of bad habits so they end up with very ty lives... i question my own habit a lot lately... especially now with this black shish i picked up at work monday, ... |

People don't get violent when they smoke weed, I've never seen or heard about it. I have heard and seen a lot of people who get drunk and get violent though. You are right about it making people lazy though and it can ruin their lives. Then again, alcohol can easily ruin people's lives too and it's legal. |

| i've seen weed make people violent and mischievious... when you're with a group of guys and you're blazed, you tend to want to up your high by doing pranks and assaulting people etc... i've been involved in some really stupid , but it was hilarious to us at the time and it made our sessions much more fun... you only get all calm and chilled when you're burnt out.. when you're grilled off some good you can get feelings like not being yourself and that everyone's out to get you and whatnot.. some messed up stuff happens to people who smoke a lot of pot... |

| Yes, weed can you up. But its no where near the psychological effects of alcohol or the health effects of cigs. Either way I prefer to stay away from all of them. |

There are a lot of legal products that are much more harmful than marijuana - try drinking bleach, anti-freeze, or drain cleaner.
The reason marijuana is illegal has nothing to do with any harmful effects it might potentially have on your body. That's just the excuse our governments use so that we don't notice that they're using these kinds of substances as a scapegoat for crime and perpetuating the so-called problem of psychotropic substances such as to justify their outrageous police spending and the usurpation of our personal liberties. |
