Pot not cause cancer? Whoddathunk it.

This isnt news. This information has been anecdotally available for years. But ... now its MSM material.

"A U.S. study concludes there is no link between smoking marijuana and increased risk of lung cancer -- even among heavy, long-term users.


"People who smoked more marijuana did not have any increased risk of cancer compared to those who smoked less marijuana or none at all, the study found.

"The researchers said they were surprised by the findings.
The full article at Forbes.

That's really cool to know, McCool. Thanks for posting this. I assumed it would increase cancer risk the same way heavy tobacco smoking increases cancer risk, but since pure pot smokers generally don't smoke as much as tobacco smokers, the risk was much lower. So nice to know that there's no risk at all!
