IIRC, this is NOT the first evidence that genetic damage resulted from pot use.

But this couldn't be, though. It would defeat the entire raison d'etre of SO MANY of our fine Libertine friends!

Er, no.  This gene condition pre-exists.  And the scare
tale to which you refer was just that.

Yikes! How much do you have to smoke?

Come to think of it, smoking pot does make me tend to forget things. What were we talking about again?

Paranoia will destroy ya.

Ok, compare this with the cumulative total of the medical evidence of the dangers of smoking.

You want smoking to be illegal too, right?

So? Even if it were true, potential genetic damage is not a valid reason for making something illegal.

this is NOT the first evidence that genetic damage resulted from pot use.Shouldn't let the story get in the way, but it's not a genetic defect "caused" by pot use, it's genetic damage prior to pot use, that would make one suceptible to problems. Some folks shouldn't drink alcohol either for similar reasons. Blackbird.
