Cant tell you which is worse but they all vape now so
It used to be this way. I don't remember exact stats but essentially, there are now over 300k people living in the country who don't have to work, and so they don't. It's part of the reason why NZ is so broken now.
And marijuana can still hurt you badly it causes brain and lung damage but other legal things do
Idk how many people live in NZ but I assume it's like 7 percent
Marijuana will shrink your brain and kill brain cells, as well as the same effects smoking nicotine/tobacco has
I mean, cigarettes are an immediate and drastic health danger, not sure on weed and it's effects.
Smoking anything is pretty terrible for your lungs
From what I heard weed isnt as bad if you are over 25
Its like setting yourself on fire lol
But yea smoking anything is bad but it's a lesser of the 2 evils
8 million people on an island? Roughly 26% if that's actually true, I might be exaggerating somewhat.
I don't think natural weed is even as bad as cigarettes because it does not have all that synthetic stuff
“Not as bad” probably because that’s when your brain is fully developed. Still very bad for you though
Weed is mostly a danger if people who are too young and still devoping their brain use it, over 30 its not gonna do that much damage
The idea is the same: people aren't working.
I could be wrong tho
Like alcohol?
Like any brain altering substance, yes
I wont deny that it isnt bad but I'd be surprised if it's worse tha cigars
Woah is the rate actually 26%
it's also worth mentioning one is a stimulant and another is a depressant
alcohol is a depressant and used for a long time
If it's really 300k people. As I said, I might be exaggerating, the rough idea is still there. It could easily be less and still have a big impact.
The most dangerous part of the cigarettes is the tar, which serriously fucks up the lungs, i imagine burning weed probably make some tar too, if not as much perhaps
Honestly I thought NZ had a lot more people
Isn't a cigarette only marginally made of tobacco, and the rest is just tar and other stuff?
Other chemicals as well
Here natives use tobacco to cleanse themselves. Not sure how relevant it is to the conversation but
Tar is just a byproduct of burning anything, but all the extra crap in cigerates contributes to making a lot more tar then just straight tobacco
Holy crap I was wrong, 5 million. Where did all the people go?
That's my point, thanks for making it more clear.
No problem
Idk is New Zealand one of those places where it's very sparse
@2Lazy2BeOriginal It's actually near 300k.
The unemployment?
NZ is like a 1/3 of the size of TX. Also it's an island.
The welfare.
I dont mind people on welfare too much but if they dont have a job. I have a big problem with it
From lockdown, unemployment was near 150k in September. Obviously getting better now.
That's the problem we had with all the immigrants: they didn't have to work, so they didn't.
