Marijuana is no more intoxicating or harmful than alcohol. People that believe differently, probably believed their mother when she told them that women have teeth down stairs.
Yeah, but alcohol is bad.
I really don't think mj is as intoxicating or harmful as alcohol. But I do think it's an issue when driving or operating heavy machinery
I think a few too many of the posters here bought into the Reefer Madness...
first of all, mj use among teens and young people is flat in Colorado. It is folks in the 30-60s who are buying more of it. http://www.denverpost.com/2016/12/28/colorado-teens-marijuana-use-legalization-study/
MJ is the only "drug" that literally cannot kill you from use. Of course that does mean that you can't get killed while high, but the drug itself cannot possibly kill you. That is because THC does not affect the pre-Bötzinger complex in the brain stem, where all of your life-functions are managed. Everything else out there, coke, opioids, etc relax everything in your brain, including the pre-Bötzinger complex. THC only affects the cannabinoid receptors that are located in the large mass of the brain. It is scientifically impossible to OD on THC.
As to CBDs, these are often considered the medical components of MJ, and they work, but they have been shown to work better when combined with THC. Synthetic versions of MJ are so ludicrously ineffective most docs won't even bother prescribing them.

LOLOL! I never heard that one. That's scary and simultaneously arousing....
Those for it say it's easier on the lungs than cigarettes, those against say it's worse
Mom uses MM as an oil in brownies and such, course she moved to Cali with the new husband so ......... Always seems happy when I call her.
I know plenty of people who have used it during chemo and all of them swear by it. My father is undergoing chemo now and has asked for some and the nurse even told us if we can get it illegally then they have our support, though they would never write that in the reports, if you catch my drift.
I also am a former Washington state resident and have visited Amsterdam numerous times. It's really not much of a problem even under full legalization. Though Washington isn't like Colorado. Colorado is much more loose with its regulation.
The smoke is not as bad for you in the sense that it is an occasional thing. Even if you smoked a joint every day, its one, maybe two, not a pack. And MJ does not have the carcinogens in the smoke that cigarettes do, it simply isn't there. And the other methods, such as vaporizers and oil vapes don't have the smoke at all.
