Harmless marijuana? I think not. It causes reproductive problems and lung cancer for 2 things.

reproductive problems was a myth, marijuana does not cause reproductive problems, lung cancer, yes, it could cause lung cancer, but in the real world it doesnt, this is because people on average dont smoke more than one joint per day, while tobacco smokers smoke 20-40 cigarettes per day, if you do a lot of research on marijuana it becomes clear that it really is a harmless drug with significant medical value. But you dont want to hear that do you, you would rather just keep on believeing the old myths.

Dear Dennis,
The research I have read says that the harmfullness of marijuana compared to cigarettes is harmful many, many times more-a ridiculously high number. So, it can cause cancer for 1 joint a day even. There are lots of people who smoke more than a joint a day, too: The "potheads." I believe the reliable research that it is also harmful reproductively and I won't take that chance because I don't want to abuse my body that way. People who love the effects of this drug may be in denial of its harmfullness. Better to love oneself over the love of a harmful drug. Those addicted to alcohol and other chemically dependent persons are often in denial of the harmfullness of the harmful drug of their choice, too. Marijuana also impairs functioning in many ways and people who use it should also be careful driving so they don't hurt anyone including themselves. Calling proven and valid imperial research a myth can be a form of denial. I have read the research well and many times. I won't take my chances with any of these illegal drugs, not only because they are illegal, but because they certainly are very harmful-the truth will set you free so take care of yourself well by not killing yourself slowly on the "shit."
Live long and healthily. Don't assume (assumptions make an -ass- out of -u-and-me-.) that you know what I want to believe. I happen to be extremely broad-minded. Your touchiness (exemplified by your personal assumption toward me) about it tends to make it seem as if you may be in denial, if I may be very frank with you. Maybe you could work out your problems without pot and with a counselor.P.S.The drug lords are rich enough and promoting these harmful drugs is a favor to them, too. Try seeing the movie Traffic and you will find out the truth of these drugs. Is truth what you seek?
