I thought that was an interesting read I found right after I posted that question and googled some links. I have yet to read anywhere that is is harmless is all. On a drug dial it isn't as bad as others certainly as you showed there PVS but I wouldn't place it as harmless.

i wouldnt call pot 'socially acceptable'. as far as alcohol, the dangers of drinking tower in comparison, and yet people will call someone smoking pot a "druggie" as they chug one 12 oz. budweiser longneck after another.
its not really the nonacceptance of pot which drives me batshit.
apart from the wish for decriminalization, i could care less what society thinks.
its more the blatant hypocricy of our society, which condones drinking mass quantities of liquid poison. a poison which causes addiction, abuse, assault, murder, crime, etc, has been proven to kill braincells (not proven with pot) as well as the immediate health risk...that is what really pisses me off to no end. people are mindless tools.
Who said anything about dying from pot anyway? There are recognized short term affects of THC on individuals. Ingestion of THC does have side affects now regarding to how dangerous they are thats up for grabs but hey it took almost 20 years to see the full effects of cigarettes on people too who knows...............
the trouble with the issue of pot is that it is overly bias in terms of want.
people who smoke it want it to not be harmful. i also notice that most if
not all arguing that pot is harmful are also against it in every way. they want
it to be harmful and will argue by any illogical means to 'prove' it.
both sides seem desperate to prove their point and i fail to see many objective sources for research.
i admit that i hope its harmless, but at the same time i dont deny posibility.
all i can do is speak from experience. my own and others i have witnessed.
no "friend of a friend" or "this dude i met" but people whom i am/was very familiar with.
all i can say is gather information from objective sources and try to keep
a clear head. dont go into research with the attitude of "im going to prove these god damn hippies wrong!" or "im gonna prove that pot will save the world!" if so you are just bound to contribute to the spread of yet more disinformation which clouds the topic, and then you're just a tool.
Hell I say make it legal I tend to agree with your point of view on this one PVS.
I choose not to smoke pot now but I had my fair share in college. That said I would tend to fall into the I have seen alcohol screw up more people then pot category. Pot and alcohol have negative side affects its FACT but whatever take it in moderation and enjoy......................

^ Thats right, ese!
I'd say something that makes you drive enraged at 90mph is a lot more dangerous than some substance that makes you very calm and relaxed and go maybe 5mph tops.

People don't have to take it in moderation necessarily though. There have been and there are people who over-indulge in pot to massive degrees, with zero death tolls I still believe that over-indulgence in the drug isn't something to worry about.-AC
😮💨 Orale!!!
It just makes your high even better, ey? Heavy amounts of mota won't give you cirrhosis of the liver, erode your esophagus, or any of that shit.

LOL yeah I know several people that smoke 1-2 packs of marlboro red packs a day and are just fine today. However thats not the norm anytime you radically alter your "state" chemicals then there are sideaffects...........................your belief is just that, its certainly not based on anything scientific.

Didn't say that did I? I said that there are people in this world and throughout history who have over-indulged pot to severe degrees and not died. The same cannot be said for cigarettes wholly.
