Cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands of people a year, cannabis doesn't.

30 cigarettes' worth of carcinogens? Challenge your teacher to locate one shred of evidence suggesting that cannabis-only smokers get lung cancer more than non-smokers. Make your teacher back up these arguments with credible reports from peer-reviewed medical journals. Remind the teacher that regurgitating crap from the DEA and DARE and other anti-pot groups is deliberately misinforming the students, since these groups have a clear bias in the debate. Impartial sources and real science are what counts, not scare tactics.

i never go to my health classes, well in the uk its called general studies, but apparently one class just ended up deciding weed should be legalised and like 3 teachers all agreed. i wish i was in that class mine tend to single me out a bit so i end up argueing with like 20 people including the teacherabout how im doing way better than most people in the class grades wise and still toke.
it wierd the impact a teacher opinion can have

i think thats not true seeing how cannabis isnt regulated by the government.. or large corporations who seem to throw in all these dangerous additives to cigarettes. where as home growers, or those who grow weed, arent going to add the chemicals into weed after they are done, no half of them are probably to poor to afford to put the chemicals in weed that the cigarettes companies put... how the hell are cigarettes less harmful? fucking beats me.

why do they add chemcials?? make us more addictive, we buy it more so government is getting more cash out of it.. and where does that cash go? into propoganda (above the influence) or teaching kids that cannabis is more harmful than cigarettes.. bull fucking shit.

Hey, Idostuff, you need to do a "kick-ass" report on medical marijuana for your term paper! Just google cannabis and cancer or MS or fibromyalgia or Alzheimer's. You will get SO much data! "Whup their asses" by using scientific proof to refute their lies! Here's some sites to get you started!

Cannabinoids Research Articles and recent Cannabinoid Abstracts

Anti-tumor activity of plant cannabinoids with emphasis on the effect of cannabidiol on human breast carcinoma -- Ligresti et al., 10.1124/jpet.106.105247 -- Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics
(this is an abstract about cannabinoids and breast cancer, but the site has other good cannabis articles, too)

I really HATE ignorance! Do a good paper (and let your fellow students "critique"/read it before you turn it in- it might dispel some of the BS your teacher is putting out and educate them)! - Granny:hippy:

So in health class were in the drug unit, and everyone knows what that means, ridiculous facts about cannabis! But the one I heard today seemed exceptionally unbelievable, my teacher said that smoking one joint is equivalent to smoking 30 cigarettes. 30! That's a pack and a half of cigarette carcinogens and toxins crammed into one measly joint. It's sad to think how mis-informed people are these days.

Ask for scientific proof.
