Cannabis or tobacco. Or worse?
The active constituent in cannabis resin is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This is an organic chemical compound. It is very unlike nicotine, but being an organic chemical compound is destroyed by heat: burning. The same argument applies to cannabis as to cigarette smoking (see entry: Smoking - 1st October 2005). It is just another psychoactive drug. Many will use tobacco as the medium to ingest the cannabis active (THC) by inhalation.
This should demonstrate that cannabis is a much more potent drug than nicotine. The effect of the nicotine is virtually nothing by comparison to THC.
There is no parallel to alcohol in that whisky or beer is only the method to ingest the common constituent (alcohol). THC and nicotine are very, very different. Nicotine is a mind bending-drug as it distorts thinking. The belief that this poison is good for you. The delusion. It’s a killer. Anyway, if you haven’t had nicotine for a while and then ingest some by inhalation it will make you very dizzy - even make you feel very unwell. Sick. You will get used to it. You will just need more of it next time to get the desired effect. The satisfaction. The craving going away. Staving off the desire for the next ‘fix’. It’s all part of the addiction problem. It’s how it works. Gets its hooks into you. You’re well on your way down that bottomless pit.
THC is a mind-bending drug. Because it’s so different to nicotine, it cannot safely be compared. Better? Worse? Semantic argument. Certainly dangerous. If the amount of nicotine inhaled from one cigarette were to be injected, it would kill very quickly.
Injectables go directly into the system and are only metabolised by the liver on the path to being neutralised then eliminated from the body.
Even from the first moment, the body is attempting to get rid of it. That should tell you something.
Unless you’re just stupid, of course.
