[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684345, member: 17309"] Smoking is smoking. Pot smoking is still putting smoke in your lungs and can cause cancer just like cigarettes. It isn't good for you. Now, edibles may not hurt you...and clearly there are a lot of medical benefits to marijuana, but smoking can't be "good" regardless. That sounds like a pot smoker. At least, what I've seen of them. This sounds exactly like my kid. He used to tell me that it was the only thing that made him happy and he wanted to be happy for just a little while. :( I find that very sad. But that didn't make him any less moody and bad tempered when it wore off. Cigarettes are a stimulant, but they still calm people down. When I began quitting in January my "quit coach" explained it's the breathing that really does the trick. You take a big, slow drag on the cigarette, blow out slowly, and that is what physically relaxes you. Between that and the drug itself, I'm sure pot does "calm you down", but that effect wears off when the high does. Of course it does. While there are plenty of functional alcoholics, there are plenty of people who just want to sit around drinking all day and since alcohol is a depressant, I'm sure it that makes it worse. In the end, I'd say pot has a lot in common with alcohol...without the hangovers. [/QUOTE]
