But it cuts lung cancer tumor growth in half! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm Weed is like chocolate/wine. One week it is good for you, the next it isn't.

"But the researchers only interviewed a relatively small number of men.

"So before we can reach any firm conclusions about whether this is a cause-and-effect relationship, rather than a statistical blip, the result needs to be replicated in a much larger study." E BO

breaking news!!! marshmallows can cause liver cancer!!!

jk, but just about anything "can" cause cancer if the conditions are right. therefor, we all need to just go the gym, eat healthy and continue living our lives. and stop worrying about shit like this.

the last thing this site needs, another debate over pot. Because all the smokers will come in here and try to justify it and claim it's the healthiest thing ever, and all the non-smokers will come in and talk about how it'll kill you and how Godly they are without smoking.

And then people like me, who don't smoke but don't care if you do or don't, will come in and laugh at how biased and one sided everyone tends to be

"What young men should know is first, we know very little about the long-term health consequences of marijuana smoking, especially heavy marijuana smoking."



I stopped reading after this. Go watch The Union, then tell me what you think.
