Pot Smokers Have Healthier Lungs Than Cigarette Smokers

by Dan Savage • Jan 10, 2012 at 3:27 pm

Well, duh. People smoke pot to get high. Once a pot smoker is high, he's done smoking pot and it's time to download something on Netflix and open a bag chips. People smoke cigarettes to pass the time, to obtain a fleeting buzz, and—most importantly—to slake their desperate and pathetic addiction to nicotine. They're never done.

The Stranger depends on your continuing support to provide articles like this one. In return, we pledge our ongoing commitment to truthful, progressive journalism and serving our community. So if you’re able, please consider a small recurring contribution. Thank you—you are appreciated!
