[QUOTE="newusername, post: 5895468, member: 562064"] This is how I can tell that you make your decisions based on what you think and not what is fact. Cannabis does not cause cancer. It has never been demonstrated to do so. When Dr. Donald Tashkin at UCLA was commissioned to find the link between smoking cannabis and lung cancer, they hypothesised that there would be a positive correlation: what they found was that there was no correlation at all, and that there may indeed be a protective effect. Two separate studies have found THC to destroy tumors in lab rats, one in the mid-70's and one a couple years ago. They also found that the THC was capable of causing cells in a particular type of brain cancer to go into autophagy, which basically means the cancer cells eat themselves. Unfortunately, we don't know more about this because the government is very restrictive on testing. Any damage that could come from cannabis would come from inhaling combustibles, and that wouuld be eliminated through use of a vapourizer. Even then, Dr. Tashkin has also found that there is no relation between smoking cannabis only and COPD, although you have to be cautious if smoking tobacco and cannabis. No person has ever OD'd on cannabis. The ratio between toxic dose and effective dose is estimated to be 1000:1, and some calculations have estimated a person would have to smoke 1500 pounds of marijuana in 15 minutes. Of course, no person could do this because they'd fall asleep long before that. Again, these are estimations because there are no recorded overdoses on marijuana in the history of mankind. Lastly, cannabis is not a gateway drug. Buying from drug dealers is a gateway. Giving kids wrong information is a gateway. Making bad decisions, or just being curious, is a gateway. When the government commissions studies hoping to prove the Gateway theory, and are incapable of doing so, you should know that you're simply lacking the evidence to come up with these assertions.
