I guess the reason is because LSD can make one's perception of reality difficult to maintain. It's extremely hard to know what dose you can take to still deal with situations in society. With weed, you can judge it by the amount of tokes a person takes to get to their preferred altitude. LSD is measured so miniscule...you'd be hard-pressed to know exactly what dosage to consume & not laugh at stupid shit. LSD & weed are like apples & oranges...almost impossible to compare the 2.

Hate to be the guy just posting links to prove my point, but this seems pretty interesting and is easy to read. It pulls from legit published studies though so I think it is reputable. Worth a look http://wellspring-collective.com/marijuana-and-exercise/

I like how he says its a legit site but it cites nothing and links nothing to the source of all these "facts"....he did what, a 2 minute google search probably?

I agree that the way people use the substances differ a lot. One they take between small and medium doses, sometimes heavy, but rarely enough for most to trip(cannabis). The other they always, or almost always, take the minimum to trip(lsd).
Is there a dose high enough in both to see visuals, have profound novel thoughts, synesthesia, trippy stuff etc...? I can personally say yes, for both, and although I seem to be more sensitive to cannabis than the average person here, I personally know others who have similar cannabis sensitivity.
Is there a dose small enough to be able to function normally? I think this is an obvious yes, micro dosing lsd with very positive effects is well documented, and cannabis is used this way commonly.
I do see your point that from our human perspective it is waaay easier to dose with cannabis flowers than LSD, and this definitely could be one of the reasons for it's lesser popularity.

I was speaking in regards to living a healthy life style increasing cannabis sensitivity.

So that's the point of your drivel? Because I couldn't figure out what you were ranting on about.

lol, ibprofen and cigs are arguably a lot more dangerous when taken everyday in comparison to weed.
I get genuinely worried for my health if I have to take tylenol heavily for any extended periods of time - people don't realize how terrible that stuff is on your liver and stomach lining.

I agree completely that both are more dangerous than cannabis, that is why I was asking why do many people seem to treat them the same?

Because although you can (kind of) "trip" on bud, it's nowhere near as potent as other psychedelics.

I didn't read the rest of this thread, but what do you mean by taken lightly? In terms of danger, weed should be taken very lightly. Its not lethal, and if you get too high, MOST people just fall asleep.
BUT, I do agree with you in that some people view weed as this substance that just provides a little relaxation and chills them out. Thats really not always the case in my experience. Sometimes thats the way my highs are, especially if I've got a high tolerance, but other times it makes me hyper analytical, and I'll just lay on my couch over-thinking my life and decisions. It's also not something I can always do in social situations. If I'm with a small group of friends and the plan is to just get high, I'm down, but when I'm headed to a crowded party, its terrible. I just end up not talking to anyone and being content with it. So yea, I do feel you OP. I've got some friend that act like weed is perfect in just about every situation, which may be the case for some people/people with very high tolerances. But for others its only good in specific situations. I don't really like smoking weed at concerts. It does make the music sound good but it saps my energy and makes me not wanna groove. But its perfect for afterwards when I head back to someones place to chill.
I just view psychoactive substances as tools. Each tools got a different purpose, and some are better in certain scenarios than others

Personally I think those who can't handle weed are weak consciously. After 5 hits of good acid or a breakthrough mushroom trip a 6 gram cookie isn't jack shit.

I would like to think having an open mind, healthy life style, and probably more sensitive receptors make cannabis so strong to me. But if you think you're to hard for weed after doing lsd, so be it, that's your loss. I personally find a lot of pleasure in both.

Nobody is saying they don't find pleasure in marijuana. 
We're trying to explain to you that there is a very different experience going on when comparing weed or even edibles to a dose of LSD or shrooms, or DMT
At this point I'm starting to think you're a troll, or possibly even a pre created bitter cactus puppet
