    First off mike m why in the world would you tell some one it is safe to lace MJ (marijuana ) with LSD or PCP! MJ is not a dangerous drug at all (and technically isnt even a drug but a herb, or flower. we use lavender in lotions to calm people and even babies but would you call it a drug?). On the other hand LSD and PCP are(they are human and chemically made)and are very dangerous especially if used too much or in the wrong situation. I would never lace MJ with any other drug, that is what makes it dangerous. MJ can be bad for your lungs if you smoke it. It is also worst too smoke it in blunts and joints be cause the paper makes the smoke even thicker and harsher on your lungs and throat. But they have many nature forms of it such as hash which is used in cooking and you can even get it in liquid form. Vaporizing it is also a healthier technique. MJ has never been an honest or proven cause of any disease, cancer or sickness, but has actually been proven too help relieve and prevent symptoms of many different health problems and mental problems. Yes it can make you lazy and cause slight short term memory loss but that is normally only by stoners or true pot heads that sit around and do nothing but smoke ot all day. People that only use it every once in a while or when honestly needed do not normally have any problems at all.

    Oh, yes kitty you deeply angered me with your response there is no way in hell marijuana would cause a person to do that, unless it was laced with something.

    Use common sense. It's a Schedule I drug which means it has the high potential for abuse, but it's an individual's choice studies have shown that long term marijuana use can lead to short term memory loss, weight gain (the munchies), even slower reaction time. I don't think any drug is entirely safe, I would put marijuana as safer than other drugs but it's still a drug.

  • It depends on the intake. Everybody knows smoking is bad for you, even if it's never caused cancer, it still does damage the lungs. But you can always vaporize it, or make edibles, which have no health hazards.

    EDIT:@kitty your story is complete bull. Even if you're high, you don't do **** like that. He wasn't hallucinating his driveway being there because he smoked some pot. He was on something else like acid. And you shouldn't drive high either, same way goes for alcohol.

    Not safe, but safer than most drugs. Smoking it is bad for your lungs.

    No, but safer than most fda approved (side effects long as your arm) drugs.

    The only thing is that smoking is bad for your lungs, but you can drink marijuana as a tea.
