True, but I was just trying to highlight the fact that such a furore is made about passive smoking but people generally are oblivious to other actions that have the same detrimental effect on health, and potentially to a much larger degree.
I hate to point this out to you, but both apple seeds and almonds contain cyanide, so if you eat almonds, or like me eat apples in their entirety, you are ingesting cyanide.  |
The point I was making was that there are people in occupations, where the recreational use of drugs including Cannabis could be detrimental to their clients. Though I do accept that Cannabis is a very powerful drug the capacity to feel its effects varies from user to user i.e some will resist its effects longer than others. If its effect is to leave the user feeling 'wasted', it also leaves the user vulnerable to physical assault by others.
I agree that some people are oblivious to things that are more hazardous to their health but death or harm by ignorance has historically been the source of much distress.
As for the apple seeds and almonds, I did know that they do contain minute amounts of cynanide as do a number of other things in nature so as a consequence I don't eat them.
