Paranoid pot users will no doubt see this as a bogus study, because marijuana is a miracle drug. Except it’s not really a drug. It’s natural so it can’t be harmful. Plus it cures cancer, and everything else, blah blah blah. Trying to have a discussion with pot users about whether pot is harmful is like having a discussion with pot users about anything, pretty soon you realize their brains take a lot of detours and wrong turns. But they’re convinced that they are smarter than everyone else.

There is a component in pot that that has anti-cancer properties - It could possibly save countless lives and decrease suffering in a big way.

I'm glad to see you admit that, even if you did so in a dismissive and smart alecky way.

You should want people to suffer and die early, because to do otherwise is against the law, said no normal conservative ever.

I am saving your post to quote from in the future because it is so incredibly accurate and should be repeated in every one of these threads. I have gone round and round in real life with people who are destitute but continue to flush their lives down the toilet. Marijuana becomes the most important component in their lives and they literally will refuse to give it up until their dying breath.

Not trying to pick a fight, but that is a statement that sounds like someone convinced they are smarter than everyone else, but no one else knows it.

My daughter worked as a drug and alcohol councilor. She said that pot abusers were the most difficult to treat because none of them thought their abuse was a problem. She said that people being treated for alcohol, heroin, meth, coke and other things realized that they had issues and needed help.
