not at all, alot of people die every year from alcohol related illness. my co workers dad just died form psirosis(sp?) of the liver a few months ago. caused by drinking. from what ive heard no one has died directly from smoking weed.

Health wise I believe they are on the same level.

Cancer via smoking
Liver problems via drinking

As far as being more dangerous? Depends on the situation. The way I look at, you can have a drink and not be drunk. You can smoke some pot and not be high. Either in excess can lead to a bad resolution.

really? smoking weed causes cancer. please show your sources

heres a fact for you. cannabis has been around for ages. there has not been a single case of cannabis related death, EVER. alcohol is much worse than cannabis. yea, you can have liver problems from alcohol; but its the things you do while your on alcohol that will get you killed. hell Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is much safer than alcohol, but thats off topic.

i'de also like to add that; if cannabis did cause some sort of cancer why is there proposition 215 in the first place?

Smoking can cause cancer, plain and simple. Yes, smoking marijuana has never been the direct cause of death to a person. However, smoking for a long period of time (years) can cause side effects in your health in the long run. IE cancer. Its the physical act of the burning of a substance. Im sure if you grabbed a bunch of leaves from a tree, rolled them up and smoked for years and years, you would eventually develop some form of sickness.

Understand what im trying to say? Just cause you smoke pot and not cigs does not mean you are in the clear from getting cancer. It may not develop, but it still is a possibility

Also, regarding your "why is there prop 215", just cause there are states that allow medical marijuana does not mean its good or can cure people of illness. It may elevate some pain from patience or slow down a form of sickness in some cases but everyone is different.

Take for example all the drugs that are legally for sale with a prescription. Yes, they can help you but there are always side effects.
