It ain't vitamins, that is for sure. But they always say "joint" in these kinds of articles. And I have read a similar article that stated a higher number of cigarettes.

A joint varies greatly in size. And they forget about, or at least never mention, the wonderful water pipe and even better vaporizer.

How about ending the prohibition and letting the people decide for themselves?

I've never smoked weed. But I have eaten a weed cookie before. It was an OK feeling, but not worth it to me.

People react VERY differently to eating THC. Personally I have eaten several marijuana chocolate products that are supposed to put you on your ASS! No joke. I don't feel hardly anything at all!!!!

Smoke it and tell me what you think. It will be a MUCH STRONGER EXPERIENCE.

`Marijuana is nowhere near as harmful as cigarettes. To suggest that it is, is simply scare tactics. First off, marijuana is not physically addictive so one can basically quit when he/she chooses to do so. Second off it does not cause cancer due to the fact that it is not loaded with thouSANDS of chemicals and poisons like tobacco.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of his friends and advisors, what are we to conclude about George W. Bush:
Stop the madness before us it stops!
