/^t/First of all marijuana consists of much larger amount of dangerous substance than cigarettes. One piece of marijuana is from ten to twenty times stronger than one cigarette. Marijuana available nowadays on the market is from five to twenty times stronger than the one from 60's. As manufactures provide a consumer with better and better detergents, cosmetics, there appear new and more "efficient" drugs. Drug dealers are unscrupulous businessmen. They are inventing new ways of "improving" the effects of weaker narcotics. Marijuana for instance is soaked in formaldehyde or even in rat-poison. Drugs bought today in the streets may be more poisonous than ever before. The difference between the marijuana from the 60's and the 90's is best known by police officers from drug departments or medicall staff. So the argument about not harmfull, weak marijuana is not true any more.
