Marijuana is an Herb: Better than what? Marijuana is a natural and commonly used herb that allows for hunger and relaxation. It is less dangerous than smoking nicotine as far as diseases go. Smoking...I.E. The fire you are inhaling with the thc has to be thought of as dangerous however. Other ways of ingesting this herb are less risky for your health.
