This web-site, cannabis.com, and the members of it, have heavily influenced me into believing that marijuana is fairly harmless, and a good thing in general. I find myself believing that if used for the right reasons and not excessively, marijuana can be a great way to improve the quality of life.

Recently though, I began to wonder: Is long-term marijuana use really safe, or have the fellow smokers of this web-site simply brainwashed me into believing that?

By the way, I am not concerned with symptoms such as memory loss, bronchitis, or lack of motivation. I am only concerned with loss of life (cancer). As long as the amount of pot i smoke isn't life-threatening to me, it is completely worth it. I am here to simply ask if I have been brain washed, and if so, by who? The government or you guys? I also would like to know how much pot smoking makes somebody a "heavy user."

Thanks a lot, Tim
lack of motivation only comes with heavy (daily) usage
unless you know how to moderate
and not burn out
any smoke carries some risk of cancer
but marijuana smoke carries much less than most other controlled substances in the USA.
it is actually good for your lungs in some ways
