Do You Think It’s Silly That Tobacco Is Legal While Marijuana Is Not?
Question by mutterhals: Do you think it’s silly that tobacco is legal while marijuana is not?
“An exhaustive search of the literature finds no credible reports of deaths induced by marijuana. The US Drug Abuse Warning Network records instances of drug mentions in medical examiners’ reports, and though marijuana is mentioned, it is usually in combination with alcohol or other drugs. Marijuana alone has not been shown to cause an overdose death” – Quote via the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Administration
“Tobacco use is considered to be the most important preventable cause of death and disease in the United States; More than 1 billion people smoke worldwide, and an estimated 3 million die each year from tobacco-related illness. Despite all of its documented consequences, tobacco use continues to play an important role in the morbidity and mortality of this country (U.S.)”- Quote via U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services

Heroin is synthesized from morphine, and morphine is synthesized from opium produced by the plant known by the botanical name Papaver Somniferum (common name opium poppy). Rather than being a different drug, heroin is a method of preparing morphine so that it is absorbed more efficiently by the human body, when injected. If heroin is injected into a human, more morphine will reach the brain than it would if the same amount of morphine were injected. Injecting about 5mg of heroin will produce the same results as injecting 10mg of morphine. Heroin can also be snorted, smoked, or taken orally. However, these other routes of administration are not recommended. They are not as efficient and most of the drug is wasted. If you are not going to inject heroin, an equal amount of morphine will produce similar results. When it is not injected, the heroin is usually totally metabolized by the human body before it can affect the amount of morphine that reaches the brain. So the effects of heroin are nearly the same as an equivalent amount of morphine when snorted, smoked, or taken orally. The time it takes to feel the effects depends on the method of …
