Tobacco is far more addictive than Cannabis. Cannabis is not physically addictive like Nicotine is. Most people mix Cannabis with tobacco. It's the tobacco they are addicted to not the Cannabis.

It took me twenty four hours to stop smoking dope after a daily four year habit. It's far from perfect but it shoudln't even be brought up as a point of comparison in addiction debates.

How many people do you know who have died at the age of 27 through an overdose of cigarettes.??

The comparison was being made in respect of the debate about 'addiction' and how that reels you in.

You managed to throw your own spin and reply regarding smoking - dope or otherwise, bit hypocritcal of you to beat the "shouldn't even be brought up as a comparison in addition debates". You're joining in the smoking aspect!!

You're a smoker, right?

Give up the fags. There is a good chance they will be a contributing factor in your death etc. You can quit.

Cigarettes will kill you eventually.

Cannabis will not.

Agreed. Cannabis is far from harmless and I would never pass it off as so. It's a very subjective drug that creates it's high by directly mucking about with your neurons rather than simply drowning them out and it's simply not suited to a large degree of people that are predisposed to mental issues and/or anxiety.

It could be made far safer if it was regulated in a legal marketplace, I have to add as a disclaimer, but then most people with an ounce of common sense known this.

The person you know is a major stoner and very few of us probably don't know of someone who's completely fooked because of it. Cannabis is a world away from crack cocaine and A class drugs. I'm not stupid - I'm more than very well aware of the effect is has psychologically and neurologically ...... people don't become that way because they have a few joints occasionally.


That's their choice, no one forces anyone to smoke, legal or illegal. If I snuff it when I'm 60 through fag smoking: I have one person to blame. ME. Not anyone around me, not my parents, not my friends around me who smoked when I didn't, not the shopkeeper who sells me my legal drugs of choice.
