You haven't provided any evidence to support your viewpoint that it does cause cancer so whatever you deduce through "rational thought" is meaningless.

  I don't have evidence. All I have is lack of evidence. Skepticism leads me to conclude we do not know the effects of smoking marijuana w/r/t cancer with any certainty. Correspondingly, it would be wrong to call the prospect a myth, as you cannot say that with any certainty.

    You also have lack of evidence of unicorns causing cancer. You're also choosing to ignore the studies that show moderate use (e.g. people who smoke it casually and aren't huffing 24/7) show no increase in cancer. Maybe if you smoke from the moment you wake until you pass out you might have an increase of cancer. Same way that drinking water til you die of water poisoning is a thing. It is freakishly uncommon and you'd have to more or less choose to do so on purpose.

      "Although marijuana smoke contains a number of carcinogens and cocarcinogens, findings from a limited number of well-designed epidemiological studies do not suggest an increased risk for the development of either lung or upper airway cancer from light or moderate use, although evidence is mixed concerning possible carcinogenic risks of heavy, long-term use." That seems hardly conclusive.

    It's not skepticism when you ignore evidence.
