Coming from a BS artist as yourself, that is a compliment. As far as the "evidence" you demanded (not that I need to justify myself to the likes of you) it comes from working with other addicts and alcoholics and talking to therapists and rehab conselours. And I think they know just a little bit more about it than you do. How many old junkies do you know vs alcoholics?
Keep slinging the BS pal - I am another one who does not buy it.
That's not evidence, just more of your unsubstantiated claims.
I am not talking about the use of this drug for medical purposes. I am talking about the legalization of marijuana for comsumption by anyone who wants to use it. What are the long-term health risks for habitual users?
This is the issue that is being ignore by those who want to legaize the use of marijuana. There are significant health risks involved.
Liberals want this drug legalized, so my question is, "When thousands of people come down with lung cancer and other ailments from smoking marijuana for 30 years, who are they going to sue?" Since there won't be any big companies like the tabacco companies to sue, does that mean that the federal government will have to pay? This really means the the average taxpayer who doesn't use this drug will have to pay the bill for other peoples' reckless behavior.
