Tobacco is bad for you. Weed does nothing. That couldn't have anything to do with it could it?

Weed isn't harmless either. While the media has grossly exaggerated the dangers of marijuana, it would be a great inaccuracy to say it does "nothing." Anything you burn is by nature carcinogenic and therefore harmful, plus, virtually every single reputable scientific source, textbook, and organization including the American Lung Association is in unanimous agreement that marijuana isn't harmless. It is going to take a lot more than personal blogs, third party sources, and references to but no direct source to alleged scientific studies saying otherwise to convince me that the entire scholarly consensus is wrong. Either way though, it's kind of irrelevant. Who cares whether or not tobacco and marijuana are harmful? Or if one is harmful and the other isn't? It is my body after all and if I want to harm it, who are a bunch of stoners to tell me I can't? As long as I harm no one else it's really no one else's business. Besides, the health risks of tobacco can significantly be decreased by using only snus imported from Sweden--where it's steam pasteurized to reduce TSNAs and regulated as a food product--or by using organic tobacco.

How about this then. Weed is much less harmful than tobacco. For example my burnt marshmallows from s'mores are doing the same thing, but that's legal. And tobacco gives you like every kind of cancer there is dude. It's much worse for you

You may have a point in regard to smoking. But I would say that smokeless tobacco in the form of snus like the Swedes use may be safer than marijuana use. Either way though, the way I feel is that if we're not hurting anyone else, who is to tell us what we can and cannot do to our bodies? If I want to pump my body full of carcinogenic smoke from tobacco why can't I? It's no one else's business. Just like it's not my business if people smoke weed.
