Weed is just another vice for humans to partake in. That's why we are human we seek out pleasure, if weed makes ya happy, smoke it. But don't be naive about it or what your doing.
You're right, it isn't a cure, and medicine isn't meant to cure anything. Medicine is there aid people and relieve their pain, not cure it. I take prescription drugs that I need, but it doesn't cure my mental illness permanatly, it just relieves it, my suffering.

The same goes with cold and flu medicines and headache pills. They don't cure anything, they just relieve it.

And no, if you did some research, you would see that tobacco KILLS 200,000 people in Canada alone, much, much more in the US.

There has never been a reported death due to cannabis, or serious long term effects, and has never been linked to cancer

Alcohol on the other hand causes addiction, liver deseise, heart desease and does a really bad number on your kidney's, liver and you're brain. It kills off braincells faster than you can blink.

Do some research junior. Read some real facts, not media and government propaganda.

Cannabis has 0 reported deaths in all it's history.

Tobacco-200,000 in Canada, and I'm guessing about 500,000 in the States, a year

Just because tobacco and alcohol are legal, doesn't make them safer than something that is illegal.

Read some facts and turn off the TV. You might learn something.
