Smoking cigs is NOT better than smoking pot... in fact, it's probably worse. Pot is often seen as a benign drug.. and, in fact, it is compared to legal drugs like alcohol and nicotine... plus it's not addictive. But studies DO show that it is carcinogenic, and more importantly long-term use PERMANANTLY lessens blood-flow to important areas of the brain. No one can live up to his or her full potential while smoking pot on a daily basis. Believe me, I know first-hand.

I just quit smoking on Christmas Day. I have been smoking pot for 8 years. I smoke about 3-5 times a week. I graduated high school and I am already more than half way through college, and I work a full time job, so that is not right. I am not addicted to pot, nor have I lost any "brain cells." And I don't have memory loss. Nothing is wrong with me at all. So it depends on the person. Every one is different!
