    Much more harmful in many ways. When someone pulls on a cigarette, they take a drag. When someone takes a hit off a joint or blunt then they are taking alot bigger drags. Also pot creates a much harsher resin that is thick enough to use as superglue. When you take a bongrip- you are essentially forcing so much of this dirty smoke down your lungs and then try to hold it in to maximize the level of thc intake. The same thing with taking shotguns. Also when people tell you about all the chemicals in cigarettes versus marijuana it is a very biased opinion. We know about the chemicals in cigarettes because they are legal and consistant with how they are made. When it comes to pot it could have been laced with anything. I know of several different instances where the dealer laced it with a little crack to get his clients addicted to his pot. That is where the term "ses blunt" came from. Also dealer lacing it with embalming fluid- " heni blunt", laced with cocaine- is the "chronic or primo". Also they have put things on to pot to intensify the smell such as a little ammonia will intesify the smell to make it smell better or stronger, but too much will make it smell like ammonia - obviously. Another thing to consider is that 9 times out of 10, most people who smoke weed usually smoke cigarettes as well. There are few exceptions. There are also the pesticides and fertilizers used to help them grow. A pot plant is probably one of the most loved plants by bugs and other creatures. Most plants do better in their natural habitat but pot does the best with hydroponics. Now i know what a lot of stoners are thinking if they are reading this part. If you grow it yourself then you dont have to worry about it being laced. That is very much correct. You do have to worry about the fact that the more potent the pot is, the worse it is for your body. Marijuana definitely will always do more harm then good. It makes you cough, crave junk food, lazy and unmotivated, and worse it puts you in the enviroment of illegal activity and harder drugs. Hence the term the gateway drug. Not because you want a better high, but the fact that you are now mixed up with the crowd of people who are doing things they know they shouldnt. Iam sure there is a stoner out there who would disagree with me though. The fact of the matter is that every crackhead and coke addict started with some pot. Some folks will say that this needs to be supported by research, but with a little brains they would realize that it would be a waist of time, effort, and money to even do research on something to simply state the obvious. If they do disagree then most likely they are a smoker of the marijahoochie. So it seems very irrelavent as to whether they breathe oxygen or not. It would be foolish to think that some poor fella actually smoked crack before pot, but hey this is getting into something that has nothing to do with the questions.

    • Every crackhead breathes air. Is air a gateway drug? Myths unsupported by research.

    • I was snorting massive amounts of coke 4 years before I even tried pot. I don't put much faith into the gateway drug theory.

    • Wow, I've never seen such blatant disregard for the use of logic or for researching facts.

    • With your comment on cigarette chemicals and "gateway" you suggesting make pot legal, then there is no "gateway" with dealers

    • it's a shame that these people rate you in a negative way, because your answer is different. I think it would be useful.

    • I would probably say at least 50% of this information is falsified

    • i have been smoking cannabis or pot for 28 years as for the gateway for other drugs, well i think that the government are to blame if they were to decriminalise cannabis then you would not have to go to a dealer (who will sell other drugs to earn more money) you would grow your own and know what chemical has been used to grow it, i have been told by a doctor to give up fags and smoke it neat but being very honest i don't think they have done enough tests because it is illegal they won't test it. but at the end of the day it is

      YOUR CHOICE ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE..............................................

    • Are you kidding me? You obviously have absolutly no knowledge of Weed. Yes you did say some true things in there like lack of motivation, munchies, laziness. Ok... And you keep talking about logic, well use some yourself becuase yeah sure marijuana smoke is worse for you, but how many people have died or gotten sick from smoking a few bowls with a buddy. No one. Do you know how many prefoessional athletes smoke weed probably every week and there in the best shape of there life. Look at the facts Cigarettes KILL, marijuana is just a relaxing drug than stimulates your mind with a good vibe. Yes. Im a stoner, no i dont smoke fags though. They smell like an asshole, they give you acne, one cigarette resins your lungs, your teeth turn yellow. And there IS a shit ton of chemicals in cigs. People dont realize how much better your body obsorbs marijuana smoke than cigarette smoke. sure some website said weed has worse things in it for you, but your body takes it better. And In the 5 years ive been smoking almost every day, and still active and eat right, not once have i gotten laced weed. I wouldnt be dumb enough to buy it. Bottom line. Marijuana > Fags(cigarettes)
