First of all smoking a joint
is like smoking 10 tabacoo ciggarettes.Pot has a very high tar content and the THC and black smoke particles stick to lungs 5 times worse
That's why you smoke through a water filtered pipe. I hate joints.
No way in 'heck' pot is unhealthier dude. Theres been plenties of cases of life time pot smokers vs life time drinkers and guess which ones are always in the worst health......the drinkers, not the smoker. Beyond that, tobacoo and weed aren't even comparable simply by going with the tar from a joint. Lets not forget the thousands some odd chemicals in cigerettes.
The whole gateway thing is BS. I like how you are basically quoting a dare pamphlet.
Most people I know, DRANK first, THEN they tried pot, so if anything, drinking is the 'gateway' here. Beyond that, most people who go further than pot is because they are curious in the first place.
No one is going to immediately start off at heroin if they are going to try some drugs, the natural thing would to do would be to start off at the smallest, least powerful thing there is and then that somehow turns into it being "oh, marijuana LEADS to those otherones", no......chances are that person was curious in the beginning.
Leading to cigerettes? "HECK" no.....I freakin HATE cigerettes because both my parents smoke. Seriously, your arguments are very weak and not based off of anything besides what they've taught you in school.
As for the dude who knew a bunch of jerk-off stoners. Sorry, things happen. It's human beings, not everyone fits into a stereotype dude. So that's no reason to just hate every single one. I had pothead friends I hated, and some I liked. Likewise, I know a lot of annoying drunks that I can't freakin stand that are jerks.
I have plenty of friends that get high all the time but have a 3.8 college GPA and are going to grad school.
Exactly, you'd be surprised how many higher up's at the college here, administration and etc, smoke pot as well.
