it's a personal choice, for sure, and as long as it's occasional/recreational and not an addiction, and you are not doing it while pregnant or around kids, it probably doesnt hurt anybody. but harmless just because it's "natural?" doesnt look that way. sources abound, anyone can just google it. here's about 3 1/2 minutes of research.

No one I know who smokes pot regularily has ever been diagnosed with cancer, and besides that, next time you want to find actual evidence try sites that aren't funded by the united states DEA, that's the kind of anti - mj propaganda I'm talking about, I've smoked it since I was 15 I'm 26 this year and my oh my I'm still cancer free.

But just as sites that are funded by anti MJ groups/organizations aren't the most reliable sources.....neither can the people you know be considered a control group for regular MJ users and the fact that your are cancer free doesn't prove anything.

I agree that it's a personal choice and the goverment should be focused on WAY more important things, but let's compare apples to apples here.

I've never read ANY report that was actually FACTUAL that has said MJ causes all the things listed, none of my friends who only smoke MJ, me, no one in the compassion club I'm a part of has had any of those things. In fact if MJ actually caused 3/4 of the stuff that the DEA or anti-drug groups cause it would be PLASTERED all over the news.
