From the last link, a guy named Tashkin who I believed you used as a reference. These articles are saying what I was: that they're not sure. There's no doubt you inhale some nasty stuff, I'm not disputing that. That is present in all types of smoking. But tobacco causes cancer, this is widely accepted. Period. Dot. They're not sure about marijuana. Marijuana has not conclusively been proven to cause cancer; if it had researchers wouldn't be arguing about it as recently as few months ago.
I'm done. Frankly, I have been visting Internet forums long enough to realize that it's pointless to argue with someone who has already made up their mind. I have said what I wanted to say.
