Study Finds No Link Between Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer
http://www.thoracic.org/sections/pub...ng-cancer.html

This study conducted by the thoracic society and reported by the same thoracic society dismisses the only health risk that marijauna could possibly have which could compare to the proven cancer tobacco does cause.

You've probably heard of medical marijuana being prescribed by doctors. That is because it is medicine. Doctors never prescribe medical tobacco. Even more evidence...

Hopefully you will decide to bring more to the table than denial in the future.
Come off it. You did make the claim. You started the discussion. If somebody disagrees, it is your job to convince them. Explicit claims severely trump implicit claims.
