[QUOTE=FindingTim]So here is the deal. I have been smoking marijuana on and off for the last two years- never much more than weekly. I initially would rarely do it because I feared I would get some form of cancer down the road. Recently I have been reading a lot of internet articles about marijuana and cancer and they all seem to contradict one another. I don't know who to believe.

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?
You stated that you have been smoking for two years...then I look at your join date...and your posts...how can you even say this board may have brainwashed you when you have been smoking for two years and you just joined CC? Why would you even imply that someone/something has brainwashed you when what you need to be doing is taking responsibility for your own actions and stop saying people from this board have "influenced you"....I also don't get why you want advice from this board after saying you don't know who to believe? IMO your looking for someone to "blame" us or the Government..if your that concerned with it just don't do it...will be more for those of us that KNOW its benefits...oh..and MJ does not have to be smoked..it can be ingested...now what say you to that?
