Now that I've changed my life around a bit on this, I might as well come off and offer my thoughts.
Am I the only one who thinks it's stupid when people say "you shouldn't ever smoke cigarettes because it's bad for you" but seem to have no issue with smoking weed, while others say you shouldn't smoke weed because it isn't legalized in some areas but go ahead and smoke cigarettes because it is?
Granted, I don't care what you do with your life, if you want to smoke either, go ahead. Just be careful. But I honestly roll my eyes now when people say the first quote especially since smoke is still smoke and it's something that shouldn't be going into your body in the first place.
At least the plant alone can be used as a medicine and you don't put tar in your lungs with it.
