Question: Why does everyone seem to be so accepting to canabis smoking.?
Most of the questions involving canabis smoking on here seem to have support from the answers. However, if someone mentions cigarette smoking its a completely different story!

Please note that I am not against either, I just wondered why people can be more accepting to something that is illegal to the equivalent that IS legal.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Because people are misinformed, it is a complete MYTH that cannabis is not as harmful as smoking. The British Lung Foundation believe smoking one cannabis joint has the same damaging effect on the lungs as five cigarettes. You're also at higher risk of lung cancer and emphysema if you smoke cannabis and other lung problems linked to the drug.

Increasing evidence shows the use of cannabis can have detrimental effects mentally, it can cause anxiety, paranoia,psychosis and Schizophrenia in some people.It is psychologically addictive in around 10% of users.

I see time and time again people trying to justify it's use, it doesn't matter how much you want to believe in something, it won't make it happen! Cannabis will ALWAYS be bad for you, both physically and mentally.

In the 1960s and 70s, the type of 'hippie cannabis' doing the rounds contained less THC content. It is now stronger and more potent and has a much more psychotropic effect. Studies have shown, a quarter of the population have a genetic disposition that makes them more susceptible to 'cannabis psychosis. '

A 2007 study also found that whilst one's use of cannabis increased their risk of mental illness by around 2%, approximately 14% of the UK
