"If I smoked pot it wouldn't hurt anyone but me" Who's to even say that it would hurt you. Not defending or encouraging it's use, but there is not much medical evidence that suggests it even hurts the individual using it. Certainly not to the degree of alcohol, which kills directly and indirectly. I was surprised to read of the TOTAL number of pot overdoses that have lead to death, ever. The answer is O (that's zero). Also, common sense would indicate that it may give you lung cancer. Actual amount of documented cases EVER. Same as above, ZERO. There are cases of people who smoke pot AND cigarettes that get cancer, but no cases from pot smoking alone. It probably does create some laziness and extra cereal consumption.
