Very well put! It seems that the doctors that are anti-cannabis read some of the studies that show it is effective for some problems, and revert to the "well it is smoked and anything smoked can be harmful to the lungs" mantra. I agree with that, but using a vaporizer burns at such a high temperature that it burns off the tars and any other harmful by-products without destroying the cannabinoids. Also, by having the vapor collect in a plastic bag before inhaled, you eliminate the direct intake of high temp. or burning substances directly into the lungs. If you have ever used or seen someone use one, they exhale zero smoke. The doctors usually don't have a response after that.
