Stop smoking. It's not cool, and not worth it. Pot is glamorized these days, but it's no different than cigarettes. It's actually worse for you.

Other way around bud. Nicotine vs THC addictive levels are completely different. Nicotine is a drug that gives a slight high at first but after you get used to it, you experience withdrawal, (Headaches) and in order to beat the headaches you must smoke more Nicotine. That is the reason why people smoke, because they can't get rid of that headache without it, thus an addictive nature is born.

THC is something completely different, people get addicted to the high it produces, but the likeliness of actually being addicted at the same level of Nicotine is considerably less.

Nicotine activates cancer cells within your body, thus you die from cancer.
Nicotine has no real other affects after the first few tries.

With weed, you do have a higher chance at lung cancer, due to the fact that weed produces a thicker tar like smoke that builds on the inside of your lungs. Weed however is a natural medication that cures/helps many issues. It helps people with mental instabilities, physical pain, other addictions, emotion problems. Not all weed has enough THC to even produce a small high. There are many different types of weed out there for different sorts of things, there are some that are loaded with THC, (Many naturally grown but combined and concentrated) but aside from that, most don't just produce a strong high.

There are people that I know who when they smoke weed, they are incredibly smart, with weed they remember better, they test 10x higher than me. When I test, I test in the top 10% of my entire school, without weed they test somewhere in the 30% range and with weed, they easily are in the top 5%.

It allows them to get into a deeper state of concentration, depending upon how they can handle themselves, they can remember more and calculate faster and more accurately.

I have never smoked weed because of the fact that it will show up in my blood/hair and since I have job interviews coming up when I turn 18, if I have that stuff showing, I can't get hired. If it was legal and wasn't used against me, I'd most likely use it from time to time.

Don't hate on this post

It's funny because we are learning about drugs this week. Weed kills your brain cells and makes you derp.
To not get caught just don't smoke it.

direct me towards some facts that suggest pot isn't bad for you then.

Last you checked? What did you check exactly? You say it's equal, then you say cigs have more chemicals and weed doesn't cause lung cancer as quickly. :p I believe it's pretty widely known that pot smoke hasn't been directly linked to lung cancer yet.

If they smoke before school, after school, and at night, that's like all day except when they are in school lol. I would definitely consider that heavy use. Plus with cigarettes on top of that? That's not good at all. I personally am disgusted by cigarettes and I have never even put my hands on one, yet I smoke pot almost every day. I even feel that I do it too much even though it's not everyday.

what do you think smoke does to your lungs sure maybe no cancer but it sure as hell doesnt add life to them. And cigs do have more chemicals in them if your saying they dont your a dumbass on a for real level pretty sure there is more then a dozen chemicals in cigarettes that are causing cancer not the tobacco tobacco alone should take much longer to cause cancer then what is currently in cigarettes
