But to dismiss the increasing evidence supporting the effect on some people from extended cannabis usage mainly because you don't want to believe it, to someone my age, is reminiscent of the days when evidence was accruing that, yes, smoking tobacco is bad for you, will give you (pick one or more) of cancer, congestive heart failure, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc, and _still_ people would say "oh no, all my friends and their parents smoke and they are perfectly fit and healthy".

Fair enough, I suppose I'm more suspicious of the motives behind the studies than doubting that marijuana could have adverse effects on some percentage of the public.

I also think that personal habits take more blame than they deserve when it comes to cancer. People that don't smoke or drink get the assoiciated cancers as well, at ever increasing rates.

But getting into radiation, GMOs, chemtrails, and water flouridation is a whole other thread.
