" I just think carcinogens cause cancer. And marijuana has a lot of carcinogens." i think you can't show any studies showing increased rates of cancer in marijuana smokers.

No, I just think carcinogens cause cancer. And marijuana has a lot of carcinogens. What kind of alleged health professional would encourage people to use something they know contains carcinogens and tell them they won't cause cancer and may well prevent it? Are you saying that burning marijuana produces carcinogens or are you saying that marijuana intrinsically contains carcinogens? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you're saying the former, which is undeniable. Because the next step in the argument (come on guys, get to it! :-) ) would be vaping which does not involve combustion.

What kind of alleged health professional.... Thursday a quack will be chopping and gouging uglies out of my neck, not for the first time. He's been on the Seattle's Best 100 Doctors list for two of the past three years, so probably has some idea what he's talking about. He's suggested there's a small chance the little bit of weed I've been burning might exacerbate what's wrong. With current potency, it doesn't take much smoke to do the job, so it probably hasn't hurt me. But OK, I'm done. This is unpleasant crap and my tolerance for risk has grown thin. I'll miss it. It's given some relief from chronic lower leg pain and has been a pleasant occasional alternative to pre and/or postprandial apertifs. Hereafter I'll use no more, nor will promote violence toward those that do. I'd wish there were a satisfactory way to preclude use, if any among others, at least till well after adolescence, but don't know what measure would offer best result. The "WAR" has seemed to have the opposite effect on the rebellious young. A long time ago Consumer Reports wrote about the drug problem problem in LICIT AND ILLICIT DRUGS. I find merit in that observation.
