Oh, and Pablo, I think we're debating how safe the use of marijuana is.

Ok, I see where you guys are coming from.
I personally, love peanuts. My friend does aswell, but hes allergic. Some studies show that peanuts hospitalize people.
I can almost guarantee that peanuts alone put more people in hospitals that marijuana.
I can also almost guarantee that there are many more popularly used substances, or popularly done actions, that can cause schizophrenia.
The compound in MJ that causes the majority of the effects is THC. THC is NOT A HALLUCINOGEN. It causes:
eu·pho·ri·a
/yuˈfɔriə, -ˈfoʊr-/ Show Spelled[yoo-fawr-ee-uh]
–nounPsychology.
a feeling of happiness, confidence, or well-being sometimes exaggerated in pathological states as mania.
NOT hallucinations. I would assume its possible to have psychological hallucinations, but its never happened to me, or any of the guys I smoke with.
Also, I heard somewhere that one marijuana cigarette does 3x more damage to your lungs than a light tobacco cigarette.
The thing is, I don't know anyone who smokes 2 packs of joints a day. (Though, it may be possible, and most likely occurs.)
Also, my smoking paraphernalia of choice is the water pipe, which is a load less dangerous than smoking out of papers.
BTW, you guys should seriously check out a program called
Super High Me.
Its pretty educational, as well as entertaining.
