In the future, when robots have taken over the human race and are using us as biological batteries, we’ll look back and say, “It all started, when they learned to smoke. Then it just went downhill from there.”

erkdoc5 Weed and cigarettes kinda on two different levels. One has known studies of killing people and has toxic chemicals. The other is grown from ground and smoked and is known to treat diseases. I think I can see why they do
@erkdoc5
November 2, 2016 at 12:16 pm
Apvl
They are both grown from the ground. They both have toxic chemicals. Many studies have shown that smoking weed also bad for your heart like smoking cigarettes. Secondhand cannabis smoke is also bad for someone’s heart. Smoking weed also means breathing in tar. Neither is free of negative effects. Neither should be promoted as good.

man just shut the fuck up, go do some real research on weed and then try and argue your point. Sure there can be a couple very small negative side affects, but how many people have died directly from weed? how many people have died from cigarettes? how many people have died from alcohol. no matter what kinda bullshit you try and put out there, the statistics are whats real. Weed has saved so many peoples lives, there are fucking children, and im talking 5 years old, who ingest cannabis daily because its the only medication that can help them. there are so so many human beings who would be dead right now if its wasn’t for weed. including young children. But weed shouldn’t be promoted as good? your that fucking ignorant? honestly you sound like one of the typical old bags who know nothing about the plant itself but is just against it for no reason. Tell me how a natural plant that saves countless lives and gives people the ability to live, shouldn’t be held on a pedestal. Go do some real research. Go fuck yourself.

Don’t tobacco companies specifically design their cigarette’s filters so they appear less harmful when smoked through a cigarette smoking machine?

What happens to the rats if you don’t need them any more?
You won’t breed them – and then there won’t be any rats no more.
That’s shady.
