> I agree pot isn't as harmful to smoke as tobacco, and if you REALLY read my post carefully, you would have seen that in my preamble." Not as dangerous", well, I guess it's not as dangerous to jump off a 20 foot roof than a 40 foot one,(i.e. its's STILL dangerous, regardless of the severity, so why do any unnecessary dangerous thing to your body just for thrills?) so I assume this is the logic you are applying here.
Uh... I never said pot smoke wasn't dangerous. I said it was not as dangerous as tobacco smoke, that was all intented to show.
>I think I have enough first-hand experience to say what pot does and does not do. Sure, you can play the "mays" and "mights" all you want. If I shoot a bullet at my head I MIGHT miss, however, it's generally a good thing NOT to do in the first place. I would discourage ANY young person from using ANY recreational drug, including alcohol. I think you are naive to say that pot (smoked or eaten) doesn't affect mental development, you have not looked at the research too closely. I stand by my statements.
>I never said pot doesn't effect mental development. I said it's possible, saying that it WILL is ridiculous because it's not proven.
I am all for conveying the risks of cannabis, but there are always two sides - and the other side should be shown as well.
