Gee, I wonder how the mainstream media missed this one.

[theDentist]

They lost their places while passing the bong.

[Maceman]

[dsmatuska]

What about long term consumption of oreos and milk?

[Gabz]

Exactly the same way they missed the fact that second hand (tobacco) smoke does not cause lung cancer.............can't report what's not in the playbook dontcha know?

[linkinpunk]

And if you do get cancer, you enjoy it more.

[CedarDave]

No, but it can keep you confined to one place for long periods of time!

>>can't report what's not in the playbook dontcha know?

Or...they have those make-believe studies where they fabricate conclusions.

Doesn't everybody?

[Skooz]

I would feel more comfortable if this were coming from the NEJM, JAMA or the NIH, but, as a very heavy pot smoker 1976-1988, this is welcome news.

[Khurkris]

However smoking pot does make people argumentative,self-absorbed and grumpy.

[atomicpossum]

It does, however, lead to obesity.

[Gabz]

Or...they have those make-believe studies where they fabricate conclusions.

Nah the studies are real enough..............it's the "interpretation" of results which are make-believe :)

[Khurkris]

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmm...Alice?..is that you?

[CedarDave]

Exactly the same way they missed the fact that second hand (tobacco) smoke does not cause lung cancer...

Isn't that a crock. For a number of years I was a weekend caregiver for an elderly lady that smoked like a chimney. She eventually died of old age, but until the end she smoked two to three packs per day. If anyone would have had the likelihood, it would have been me.

And how come Dana Reeve has lung cancer. Chris Reeve didn't smoke. Hell, he could hardly breathe. No doubt a certain number of people will get lung cancer from irritants in the air, including dust particulates. Just because people who eat donuts get colon cancer doesn't mean the donuts caused the cancer.

[Skooz]

Argumentative ~ Rarely
Self-absorbed ~ Always
Grumpy ~ Naaaa. As long as there is something on the TV and some nachos nearby, stoners have little to be grumpy about.

No stems, no seeds; that we don't need.

Exactly. Correlation does NOT equal causation.
