Ping!
So basically pot has a clean bill of health with absolutely no counter indications, huh?
Great.
Pot is a human right! I demand taxpayer subsidized pot and free pot for all undocumented Democrats as well!
Apparently the author’s high hit just as he was wrapping up the story.

Is cancer the only possible counterindication?

Just like we subsidize everything else that doesn't cause cancer. 9_9
“So basically pot has a clean bill of health with absolutely no counter indications, huh?”
No, it says it doesn’t cause lung cancer or other types of cancers.
Study sponsored by Doritos and Taco Bell.
Pot may not be a human right, but subjecting a person to prison for owning the wrong plant is the height of Tyranny, and any Prohibitionist who espouses such a position can hardly be considered conservative, and indeed engages in the same type of arbitrary law which leftists cherish.
If someone is not committing force or fraud against another person, nor recklessly endangering them, then that person is not infringing on anybody's rights and should be left the f--k alone.
For the state, whether unilaterally or enabled by a democratic mob, to imprison people for possession of contraband is ludicrous. Those who espouse such Tyrannical laws must necessarily espouse the no-knock warrants and fishing expeditions (lacking probable cause) which are necessary to enforce them.
Prohibitionist are nanny-staters, and belong in the pantheon of arbitrary authoritarians who need a bloated state in order to establish their utopian vision of "proper" society.
No thanks. I'll take actual freedom, with all of its challenges, warts, and inconveniences. Nothing is superior to that.
Education, not legislation.
There is a pill form of medical marijuana that has the same efficacy as smoked pot but does not make the person taking it intoxicated. For some reason there is no demand for the pill form of marijuana.

Amen!
But it F’s the brains of once functional recreational users who jumped on the same bandwagon as really disabled people.
Those people are just losers compared to those who need it.
If it is used in this study as something other than to just get baked, then why is its use any worse than the spectrum of other unpronounceable man-made chemicals we use on ourselves for medical reasons?
Oh, wicked, wicked thought!
It’s all fun and games until you find a bong in your teenagers closet.
You're thinking of Marinol, which contains only one of marijuana's active ingredients. According to its makers, it does get one high: "You should not smoke marijuana while using MARINOL Capsules. It is possible to get too much dronabinol (an overdose), especially if you use MARINOL Capsules and smoke marijuana at the same time. Signs of a mild overdose would include drowsiness, euphoria , heightened sensory awareness, altered time perception, red eyes, dry mouth and rapid heart rate (tachycardia)."
