I don't care what you say, marijuana is a drug. It is an illegal drug. Drugs cause health problems. Who gets to pay for your health problems? Oh yeah, taxpayers. The one and only thing that should ever enter your lungs is air. Normal air. The air you breathe every day.

See above response to quote.
Winners don't use drugs

Colbert is better.
Rally to Restore Sanity was better the colberts.

How shockingly naive. Tobacco and alcohol are far more harmful. There are a million arguments against the stupidity above. All it takes is a simple google search and an open mind.

Marijuana's still a drug. It may not be as harmful as tobacco or alcohol, but it's still a drug. Drugs are bad.

I'll apologize now if I seem to be "naive" about this; drugs, including marijuana, have ruined the lives of one too many people in my life.

YES

I was so happy to see that, as well as seeing Blanche Lincoln go down in flames in Arkansas.

Rally to Restore Sanity was better the colberts.
They were the same rally in the end.

Marijuana's still a drug. It may not be as harmful as tobacco or alcohol, but it's still a drug. Drugs are bad.

How does marijuana affect the lungs?
Scientists believe that marijuana can be especially harmful to the lungs because users often inhale the unfiltered smoke deeply and hold it in their lungs as long as possible. Therefore, the smoke is in contact with lung tissues for long periods of time, which irritates the lungs and damages the way they work. Marijuana smoke contains some of the same ingredients in tobacco smoke that can cause emphysema and cancer. In addition, many marijuana users also smoke cigarettes; the combined effects of smoking these two substances creates an increased health risk.

Can marijuana cause cancer?
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years.
