For the fourth time, irrelevant. Not once did I say or imply that cannibis was better or worse than tobacco or vice versa. The fact that smoking cigarettes is worse than weed is not justification for legalizing weed. Cigarettes are only legal because tobacco products play a large role in the US economy, not because they're not bad.
In your original post (https://sinister.ly/Thread-Drugs--65434?...#pid567091)
"Yeah, let's make available and legalize drugs that have more carcinogens than cigarettes"
In your last post (https://sinister.ly/Thread-Drugs--65434?...#pid567206), you said:
"The point is that cannabis smoke contains more carcinogens than tobacco smoke."
Hilariously, your own source (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) suggested the opposite. So, many of my arguments are relevant.

Vaping is already legal, try again. Also take note to the fact that largely eliminated is not the same as completely eliminated.

Still ignorant as ever, I see. By the way, being rude isn't an ad hominem logical fallacy, you should do a little more research before throwing around words and phrases that you just now learned in your 9th grade English class. I also noticed that you disregarded my statement about cannibis's neurological effects and merely attempted to attack my statement about carcinogens. Therefor, even if you did successfully combat my point regarding carcinogens, which you won't be doing based on past observations, you still have the neuroscience to tackle. Good luck.

Laws don't dictate how cannabis is ingested (except in a couple medical states). In the source you provided, it suggested the vapor is "carcinogen-free". Contrary to you, I actually read all of my sources thoroughly. I only touched briefly on the neurological effects, simply because I'd rather not hear an "entire lecture of neuroscience out of [your] bootyhole".
Care to read again?

Despite that, it fails to establish how the brain changes are considered "damaging" and doesn't prove that users are impaired. Studies have suggested a correlation between less grey matter/increased connection[2], but never a difference/correlation with intelligence or IQ[3]. Fertility isn't even worth discussing, as cigarettes and other products/pharmaceuticals also lower fertility (and aren't illegal).

You caught me, I shouldn't have said cannibis has more carcinogens than tobacco. Regardless, it still contains too many carcinogens and poses to many neurological risks to be legalized. Anything else or are we done here?
