This is "junk science". Very similar to global warming! People with agenda attempt to hold on any number, even falsifies numbers to justify their case. If some wants to smoke weed, let him smoke his brain out, even subsidize the price to below cigarettes! People, it is not as dangerous as cigarettes! Once we take the profit out of drugs, the hole taboo will disappear!

If some wants to smoke weed, let him smoke his brain out...

You might have a point.

However, why is it so wrong to point out even potential or possible dangers to people who do so?

Conservatives and libertarians often (validly) say "yes, it is dangerous/unhealty/addictive (see, eg, junk food, tobacco and/or booze), but we feel there is still a right for a person to consume it without government interference."

Why, however, as soon as its POT does the ability to admit it might not be healthy fly out the window?

What are marijuana advocates so afraid of?

And your horrendous lack of grammatical skills is clear evidence that you smoked one too many, my friend.

Marijuana is not nearly as harmful as alcohol. I think they have the wrong drug illegal. You can't OD on it, it doesn't produce crazy, aggresive behavior; if anything, it can tear up the lungs with heavy use, but has almost no harmful social consequences. The Powers That Be have their reasons for wanting to keep it illegal, and I betcha that reason has to do with money, and lots of it.
