That’s not an answer to the question.

Why is it alarmism to tell what happens when you smoke pot, or cigarettes, or warn people of the danger of anything?

I don’t see them flipping out about it. They’re just told what they found.

Alarmism is a typical liberals reaction to global warming; *We’re all going to diiiiieeeee!!!!!” I just don’t see that here.

I see. I thought the logic was obvious.

Doesn’t it seem that in an article where “smoking a joint” was directly equated with “smoking five cigarettes”, it should have been pointed out that the best, most recent research shows that, unlike tobacco, smoking marijuana doesn’t cause cancer?

The other issues are similar.
