A member asked:
My friends mom said she would much rather teenagers smoke weed than tobacco. she said it is much more safe?

Wrong: Neither product is safe. Both introduce toxic gasses into the lung that can and will result in lung damage over time. Both have a brain altering drug. Smoking weed is safer than smoking crack, but none provide beneficial additives to a persons life.
