...which reminds me of the increased lung cancer and emphysema risks of pot. Obviously true, but also not a factor of legalization.

No definitive evidence for either claim AT ALL. As a mater of fact, the most recent studies show that the active ingredients of pot relax the constriction of the air sacks in the lungs (EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what tobacco does), and so may be of benefit to asthmatics --- although no reputable medical professional suggests that people smoke anything. As far as 'cancer', are you aware of the recent double-blind Portugal study that showed the active ingredients of pot to have cancer cell destroying abilities? (Or of the earlier 1970's US government study that showed the same anti-cancer properties... and that the DEA subsequently removed from all government libraries?)
