How many instances in a sampling size? How large was the sampling size? How rigorous was the study? Peer reviewed? Publisher?
Offhand, I can immediately tell you the overwhelming evidence is that tobacco (cigarettes) is far more harmful than cannabis. I direct your attention to the myth of cannabis being as harmful as x number of cigarettes[1] and the myth that cannabis harms brain cells[2]. While it does alter the brain, it is up for heavy debate whether it's harmful, especially on long-term use.

- jup 13y agoknock yourself out: http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/135/7/2245 http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/135/7/2245 Of course, you could have googled this up yourself in 10 seconds but I guess people believe what they want to believe.
- dylangs1030 13y agoI appreciate that you came back with a legitimate citation, but the rest of your comment is uncalled for. What I googled were the points that defend my position, not the other way around - the burden for that is on the opposing defense, not my own. What about my comments appears as though I just look for self-validating information and ignore the rest? The parts where I questioned scientific rigor, sampling size, case instances, etc?
