Next time you clean out your bowl take a long look at all the black resign building up in there. Yeah, only half of it ends up in the bowl, take a guess where the other half accumulates.
When someone dies of lung cancer who's been smoking weed for 10 years, no doctor correlates the source to specifically smoking marijuana. Inhaling marijuana in-general deteriorates your health in many aspects, but no doctor is going to say his official death was from smoking weed. When someone inhales carbon monoxide for 10 years and dies of a heart attack, again, no one correlates it to weed although it could have been the primary cause. Therefore there could 100s of thousands of deaths from Marijuana, just not Marijuana overdoses which is virtually impossible.
Don't let hearsay cloud your judgment. I had a grandparent who smoked cigarettes and drank everyday of his life and lived to be 81. That doesn't mean you will.
Marijuana is definitely safer than a lot of drugs out there, but that doesn't mean it's perfectly harmless, or safer than fucking peanuts. I mean seriously...

yeah, that poster is just plain stupid. only peanuts are harmful if you are allergic. i'd imagine if you are allergic to thc, marijuana could be just as bad.
i know a lot of people have been smoking weed for 10 years or more, easily and no one has lung cancer yet. not to say they never will as many of them are smokers as well but just consider the amount of marijuana smoked compared to cigarettes. 3 bongtokes (water filtered) is all it takes to get high. compare that to say 50 puffs from 1 cigarette, though most people don't just smoke one cigarette but on average 8-10 per day, if not more. also you are smoking a lot of bleached paper with the cigarettes. of course inhaling any smoke isn't good for you but the sheer difference in usage between cigarettes and marijuana makes it very hard to compare.
