The reason we give codeine instead of telling people to smoke opium is that the actions of smoking something, itself, endangers the user.
Let's be serious, for a moment: No one who smokes pot cares that they can get byssinosis from handling any hemp, whether it has THC or not. Here's a clue: If you need to wear a respirator to enter a plant that manufactures hemp products in places where it is LEGAL, because the fibers, once in your lungs, can cripple you, you don't want to roll the damn plant up and stick it in between your lips and inhale. DUH.
Let's add to that the damaging effects of acetaldehyde in the smoke of both pot and cigarettes... something that degrades the DNA. But, you know, the researchers who published that finding were from the powerful anti-drug lobby.... oh, wait...they were anti-cancer researchers in Switzerland?
Well, it's just brown lung and DNA damage, so what, it's still safer than tobacco, right?
Damn those hard core anti-drug lobby researchers in republican Canada for saying otherwise!
They are probably the same evil people who found that pot and cigarettes together greatly increased your chances of getting COPD. But, hey, they were probably stoned when they put together the notion of synergy. DUDE, what a weird sounding word!
It's not like there is any science behind the idea that pot is not safe, I mean everyone knows pot is like, totally safe.
The only thing worse that creationists are pot smokers who lie about the science to make themselves feel better about what they are doing. Dude, if you're going to indulge, just fucking indulge, don't be an asshole about it...because if you're an asshole about it, you're probably an asshole on it, and THAT, not safety of the pot itself, is why your friends and family don't like you when you smoke pot.
