TALKING ABOUT MARIJUANA

Nicholas Otis's article "Smoking Ballots" quotes opponents of
Proposition 7 as stating "marijuana contains 50 to 70 percent more
carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke".

And yet, marijuana smoke, unlike tobacco smoke, does NOT cause
cancer. Do a Google search on "marijuana smoke cancer" to see a list
of research

By: for example, this
article: http://www.counterpunch.org/gardner07022005.html

Note that in that article, a researcher who had identified
carcinogens in marijuana smoke found, to his surprise, no evidence
at all that smoking marijuana will cause cancer and, indeed, the
possibility that marijuana smoking may protect against cancer.

Sincerely,
