Wow, marijuana news is hitting a feverish pitch lately, especially with that most-winning "Olympian pothead" making news.
I am glad to see studies like this being performed. If you are a pot smoker, keep in mind that taking smoke in your body in any form is unhealthy.
I suspect that eventually one state (Nevada?) will attempt to legalize it and the house of cards will begin to fall in the US. Until then, big business (pharma?) who controls Congress isn't going to let it happen without a fight.
- unalone 18y agoIt's much healthier for you vaporized, or so I've read. Less lung damage, anyway.
- kragen 18y agoThat would seem logical but I don't think large-scale studies have been done. Large-scale studies on smokers have been done and did not find an increased lung cancer risk.
- micks56 18y agoMassachusetts just decriminalized possession. $100 civil fine for possession of less than 1 ounce. You are still subject to Federal prosecution, though. There is no way around that unless the Federal Government decriminalizes marijuana.

- netcan 18y agoIt's ironic, but the US Federal Government might have a harder time maintaining prohibition inside the US then out. Many countries that are clear losers from prohibition or those that have really decided against it have had a hard time getting out of international agreements to maintain the laws. The US' zeal is the greater part of the reason for why these are so enforceable & why most decriminalisation decisions in Europe have mostly been cheats of some kind.
