“Do you also believe that cigarette smoking does not cause cancer?”
Does everyone who smokes get cancer?
Do people who DONT smoke get cancer?
“And that alcohol is good for the liver, the more the better?”
A drink a day is better no no drinks...go figure...
“Now, after decades of research, the evidence of a link between marijuana use, adverse personality changes, lack of motivation, and mental disorders is extensive and credible.”
Now, after decades of research, the evidence of a link between GLOBAL WARMING and MAN is extensive and credible.
Yet the AGW theory is a HOAX...
The Lancet study was a fraud...the statistics the Govt is tossing around for the uninsured is bullcrap...
Spare me the “appeal to authority” argument....the “authorities” are corrupt and survive on research grants that seek certain outcomes.
One of the studies was based on 180 psychotic potsmoking EUROTWINKS in SWEDEN with no control group (IE: non psychotic potsmoking teens) as a comparison...it's the same type of extrapolating that takes place to allow health “professionals” to claim that 45,000 people die every year due to lack of health insurance....
It's pure BS...as silly as the idea that only liberals smoke pot.
Hemp has been used for well over 2000 years....millions of American smoke pot....so where is all the psychosis?
Or are we to believe that every psychotic is a potsmoker now? “There are some Ideas so preposterous that only an intellectual could believe them”..Orwell
Rejecting medical studies as tainted because they come from experts and are often government funded is plain silly. Scientific evidence should be evaluated on the merits. Picking at the assumptions and limits of a specific study is fair enough but does not contradict the great weight of the evidence offered by other studies.
Ordinary experience of the harms of marijuana led to it being widely banned even without solid medical medical evidence. Over the years, I saw contemporaries whose lives were derailed by marijuana use. I also know of long term marijuana users who were productive and functioning. Again, individual susceptibility and effects vary, as they do with alcohol, tobacco, and much else.
As for lung cancer, it is exceptionally rare in people who do not smoke and who are not otherwise exposed to high levels of smoke. The benefits of moderate alcohol use are in dispute.
