If you use a vaporizer, it eliminates the tar from smoking marijuana. Cigarettes are definately more addictive, but marijuana can be addictive as well. Alcohol is way worse. People get belligerent after drinking alcohol… no one ever gets belligerent after smoking weed. From personal experience, I would say that alcohol screws up your judgement much worse than marijuana.The productivity issue is totally subjective and depends on what type of work you’re doing.
Typically work requiring a certain amount of rational and logic should not be paired with weed. Everything will take twice as long and there will be mistakes. Work that is more creative and more about the present can be enhanced by weed (some say).
It also depends on what type of weed you smoke. Getting weed off the street, you never know what is in it. If it were legal, it could be regulated for quality & content.
But, as with any drug, it is just better to not even get into it in the first place… Your potential is greater without it.
Every once in a while is okay, but beware of the frequency of those “once in a while”s because it’s easy for that to become habit.
I’ve also been prescribed antidepressants & sleeping pillls and I must say that I would chose marijuana over taking the pills any day… side effects from pills are not fun…

First jail of course. Cancer, impaired judgment, financial burden
As a comparison I’d say worse then cigarettes, better then alcohol (except the jail thing), and OTC drugs there are so many different kinds a ways of abusing them there is no way to tell.
Edit, no it shouldn’t be legal

alcohol is number 5 on dangerous drugs
smoking is 6
weed is 11th
it cures the brain of propaganda and creates dissidents opposing the power structure
it also makes a person less productive which americans corps do not want

People call it a ‘gateway drug’ saying that it leads to other drug use, this can be true, not necessarily true. I don’t think it should be illegal, I live in Canada and there are no laws against personal use here. It does however support a huge underbelly of crime when you buy pot, so you can be as correct as you want but you are supporting crime. It has a huge amount of tar when compared to cigarettes. People also have said that is is non-addictive which I believe to be hugely false. It may not be chemically addictive but you can quickly fall into a trap of smoking every day and escaping the outside world. It stays in your body the longest out of any other drugs as well. They can check for it in your hair follicles months and longer hair, years after you smoke regularly and find traces of it there.

Smoke is bad on your lungs. You could also burn yourself.
*Yea, pot will make one less productive, just as medication and alcohol will. Ultimately, the millions of kids on daily doses of medication will be less productive than all the potheads & drunks combined.
The worst drug problem in America is the 200 Million dollar a day addiction Americans have of antidepressants.
THE biggest danger, is that pot will be decriminalized federally (there is no constitutional basis for it being illegal) and made a state descision. It isnt the federal governments job to BAN PLANTS.
If you grow a plant, it is your property. If you smoke it, you are inhaling it into your lungs which are also your property. So another danger there is FREEDOM.
The danger that pot is decriminalized federally, and made a state descision, is that there will no longer be property siezures, fines, and prisoners. The finaicial total of those are enormous.

None that i know of. It depends how the person reacts to it. I know guys who haven written ALL straight A college papers on weed, I know some that laugh like reatards and the others jsut become too mellow for their surroundings which becomes a major hazard in the workplace where extra attention needs to be taken of the surroundings so I know one person who lost a whole damn leg as a result of not paying attention.
