It may not contain nicotine, but cannabis can certainly become psychologically addictive.
Also, weed is dangerous in those who are
susceptible to mental illness. Without smoking, many of these people may never go on to develop a mental problem, whereas those that are susceptible but do smoke substantially increase their risk of developing a psychotic episode/s or schizophrenia.
Also, because cannabis is smoked up as a rollie with a self-designed roach, the amount of carcinogenic crud that enters the lungs is far greater than cigarettes which have a proper filter. (Although there is some indication that the thc in cannabis may actually have protective effects against cancer). Either way, still gonna get bronchitis, copd, etc much sooner by smoking more rollies than cigarettes.
Nonetheless, alcohol and cigarettes each kill way more than cannabis. (interesting chart below)
If the only result of making drugs illegal is giving the criminals the money, the government zilch (if not spending money), and the users poor quality drugs that may have been up someone's backside at some point, then what is the pooiiint
!! It makes no difference to the demand, just skanks up the supply.
