I'm just curious why I've never run into this research or opinion ever before. Honestly, if they could prove that it was 50 to 1 I would quit tomorrow but for me 1 to 1 is nothing considering the amount I acutally smoke, well, now vapor.
You will never find me saying weed is healthier than smoking cigs but I think the figure of 50 to 1 is just a scare tactic. Reminds me when you were in junior high and they would try and say one joint was equal to a pack of cigs, which has been proven to be bunk. So what your friend (or other poster) is saying is that one joint equals 2 packs of cigs. I just find it hard to believe without actually seeing some research and more than just one doctors opinion. I have heard a lot of opinions from doctors on many different subjects that were later found to be wrong.
I would actually feel so confident his claim is obsurd that I would call him a liar.
