worried about my best friend

I smoked cigarettes for 30 years. I smoked marijuana when I was young - BC (before children). Pot does not have the additives (carcinogens) that tobacco companies put in cigarettes, and no one smokes 20-30 joints a day, so I think cigarettes are probably a lot more dangerous than pot. Marijuana, on the other hand, is a drug that accumulates in your brain for a long time and heavy use has profound effects on your behavior. It saps your ambition, for one thing. And then there are the munchies. As George Carlin said, "Have you ever seen the cookie aisle in a really bad neighborhood?".

marijuana is slightly less harmful than cigarettes because there is no nicoteen addicting you to marijuana, and no tar added to the substance. However it is unfiltered.

Marijuana causes you to want to eat though. She might be PBing a lot. If shes a vetern smoker, she can probably handle the munchies ;-)

I don't think it's such a big deal. Everything is fine in MODERATION! If drinking a Protein Shake or smoothie satisifies her cravings, then I wouldn't think it would be a huge problem. HECK, it sounds a lot less fattening than drinking a bunch of booze!!! :)
