Posts 5880 and 5882 were very well-sourced so they seem believable.

You remind me of old smokers I recall hearing in the '60's denying there was anything unhealthy about smoking.

It's not enough for you to say, even if smoking weed has some dangers, I'm an adult and should be able to take the risk if I choose. That would be an argument based on the dignity of the individual. Instead you have to try to claim marijuana is some wonderful health elixir that prevents cancer etc.

What really surprised me was when you responded negatively to my suggestion that it would be safest for teenagers not to smoke weed. Well, since we know you support teens smoking weed, let's break new ground. Knowing our society, I'm sure there are at least a few 10,11, and 12 year olds who smoke weed. If I said this wasn't good, would you call me a mindless clone for that too?

I've sent off an email to St Lukes Episcopal Health Center which runs the Texas Cancer Institute. If I get a response, I post it. Especially if they recommend marijuana to prevent cancer LOL.
