1 joint is equivalent to 20 cigarettes.

And so the demonizing continues with more junk science.

Its actually true... Smoking on joint of mexican brickpacked thats been sprayed 4-5 times with everything from hairspray to fabric softener, before it hits your hands in a bodaiga in the form of a nickle bag. Sure I could believe that.
But fresh Kind-bud thats been organically grown ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh. You can't tell me ever that its worse than some tobacco thats been treated with what 27 diff. chemicals.
No way no how.

It's sad that Fox news isn't honest enough to really look at this study and report on it honestly. Studies like this give a really bad name to real scientists. The methodology on it is some of the worst I've seen in a while.

First, this is a population study. In order to accurately conduct a population study you need a large enough sample group to ensure that your sample at least approximates the whole population. 79 people doesn't even come close to a proper sample size.

Second, he has no control group. All of the people studied already have lung cancer. Where are the healthy people? How many of them smoked weed and didn't get cancer?

Quite frankly, this study isn't worth the paper it's written on.

HAHAHA
Even there moto says it
"We report, You decide"

It's not true. Simple as that. Theres no need to think about it - its just not true.

It's completely fabricated. 100% false. Theres not a shred of truth behind it.

Cannabis doesnt cause cancer. Tobacco does. Anyone who says smoking cannabis is worse than smoking tobacco should be publicly executed in the most brutal way.

Oh please don't take me too seriously, I just was pointing out the cancer causing agents in hairspray and fabric softener that are often sprayed onto US shwagg to try and hide the scent.
But moreover I was just giving those people a poke. I smoke the good organic so I know all about how clean it is. I also have read the studies about the cancer halting properties of good smoke.

thats so much bullshit. if it wasnt for the republicans FOX would be the rag tabloid of the tv world running stories on UFOs inseminating Native Americans with whale seeman and a barber pole. sensationalism phffffttttt!!!!

the Toronto Star had the smae article, but written in a slightly different format.

there is no explanation how 1j=20cigs, and thats not even brought up in the article. it just says of a bunch of lung-cancered shmucks, that some smoked pot during thier lives, therefore without doubt causing said disease....

thats illogical in so many ways. hasnt this 1joint=20cigs idea been around for like 10 years now, and never with real evidence to back it?

[denial102]

if that research isn't peer reviewed, it should be treated with extreme skepticism.

It's reefer madness all over again.
