This can’t be true. FR’s liberTARdian addicts assure us it’s only weed, man.

[Jeff Chandler]

Gee, smoking is bad for your health. Whoulda thunkit?

[Mozzafiato]

Pothead Nation will rally to say this is not true. Other than pro-abortion radicals, I don’t think there is another interest group out there like pro-marijuana forces to protect their fix.

It’s a victimless crime. 🤡

Consuming intoxicants sporadically does not seem to be as harmful as your body can clear out the toxins over time.

Consuming them daily is not a good idea.

I remember watching a 60 Minutes episode in the mid 70s how marijuana caused men to grow breasts.

Not to condone dope — can’t stand the sweet smell — generally don’t care for sweet things... (prefer cigars, scotch, and bitter women — lol), but could mass production, tainted supplies, vaxx, etc be contributing to the data that I’m assuming is sourced 2018+.

But, but..... hemp products are gifts to humanity!

...researchers compiled 20 years of data through a health research network of 64 health care organizations that accounted for more than 90 million individuals...

The greatest achievement of socialized medicine has been the collection of health statistics that would be unavailable any other way.

Unfiltered smoke straight into the lungs. Who’d a thunk!?

I wonder why they want the country high.

Re: "3.5X to 5X more likely to develop head and neck (HNC) cancer"

Unless we know the life time risk for head and neck cancers, 3.5 to 5 times risk is not a meaningful number.

Life time risk for colon and rectal cancer - much more common than HNC - is just 4%.

Most cases of HNC are linked exclusively to tobacco and alcohol.

[AppyPappy]

Most smoking does this. They key is not to smoke it.

[T.B. Yoits]

It’s likely from the pesticides used in growing marijuana.

“[for] adults with cannabis dependence, known as cannabis use disorder”

These aren’t your usual recreational pot smokers.
