This is true.

However, that said I have to add a very interesting caveat:



Well said David.

Granted this was a very high grade of weed that is pretty common down here, but I have seen some pretty strange reactions.

All drugs affect people differently IMO, weed makes most smart people average and dumb people blathering idiots.

You're right mentat. Notice how stupid fake news like this is taking precedence over the real news, such as the banking scandals and the unregulated criminal looting of the economy. Really who cares about pot, this isn't a real news story. We are spending billions of dollars to hold Afghan farmers at gunpoint to produce opium, which is then turned into heroin, shipped to Europe and all across the world. Religious wackos are brainwashed to think we are there to help those people and save them from bad regimes. No difference from the relgious morons who think that pot should be legalized or that this is some serious thing we should be worried about.

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection

The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.

The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.

"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."

JWAZ - drug war = huge waste of our money with next to nothing but damage to show for the investment. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it. This is one of the most insane policies our government clings to. Now, there's something unhealthy... clinging to this stupid prohibition.
