No, this isn't what makes it safer. Research is what gives evidence
that it is safer. Like I said, there has never ever been an overdose
death due to pot. There is no known limit to the amount of pot one
can smoke. Now that is definitely a very good definition of what
constitutes a safe drug: A five year could eat a pound of it with no harm.
There have been no studies done on the carcinogic effect of pot
smoke, but I can tell you that even if you have asthma you can smoke
pot...you can't say that about cigarettes! A very good guide to drugs
and their side effects is the book "A Primer of Drug Action"
