The average person who eats fast food has it what, once or twice a week?


I thought it was more than that, but Google isn't giving me any real data I can use to back my claim up. All I can find is "one quarter of American adults eat fast food everyday" but no links to anything solid.

I guess if JSPers think that 1-2 fast food meals per week is a reasonable figure, I can't disprove it and make any point from there :/

it depends what method you smoke out of. vaporizors are definitely healthier than any other option, then bongs, pipes etc, then joints and blunts are last cuz they are the most unhealthy. smoking blunts is like smoking cigarettes which is far worse than eating fast food, because the tobacco in the wrap has nicotine.

Why do you say that?

Because the answer is too obvious? Or because people are unlikely to use the product with the given frequencies?


Benther has said a bit about what I wanted to add, but you're not taking into account the already known health affliction of both. You're comparing one relatively passive item to an extreme item.

The comparison, therefore, falls way short of even.

weed isn't bad for you at all. sure you're not doing much by smoking it, but fast food is definitely worse

Marijuana is absolutely not harmless. If you're familiar with the youtube user C0nc0rdance who has long-addressed notions such as "fluoride in drinking water is government conspiracy", "religion is the only source of morality", "evolution is a myth" etc. He takes on marijuana myths and cites all of his information in the video description. See

And if you disagree with him and what he says, then look at his cited studies. For example, ~7-10% of marijuana users actually develop physical and/or psychological dependencies, i.e. they get addicted to marijuana. They experience withdraw symptoms and everything.
