>Hard to see how it's much different to tobacco really.

For one, you don't have to smoke it (where the majority of negative health effects come from). You can eat it, steep it, drink it.

Comparing it to tobacco is ridiculous.




you can also insufflate or chew tobacco. i don't find the comparison ridiculous at all. both contain psychoactive subtances, and can lead to serious health issues, or a decline in quality of life (tobacco of course being more dangerous than weed).


Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances ever studied. THC is not physiologically addictive.
