Your link to The American Cancer Society implies it can cause cancer. It states the exact opposite, and talks about it as a drug to treat cancer. Theonly warning is that they don't think it should be used and the expense of other treatments.

Marijuana has a proven protective effect against cancer in those who smoke cigarettes too. This is a proven fact. Since when is acetaldehyde hard to detect?
This is the most bizzare anti-pot study I have ever seen.
Your lies will cause death. You stinking liars will reap what you sow

That's everywhere. Tons more when the body processes alcohol- goes straight to acetaldehyde in the liver. You think people are stupid? Acetaldehyde causes hangover. Marijuana does not cause hangover. Freaking idiots!!! What the heck is wrong with you?
I am so sick of this propaganda. You should be ashamed.
Just like cigarettes? You should be jailed for contempt.

I smoke 5 blunts I day In im just fine. If we can drink smoke cigs we should be able to smoke a blunt. Its the least harmful out of all three. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

It is impossible to overdose from smoking cannabis and there is not a single registered case of anybody suffering from cancer or any lung-associated ailment because of smoking cannabis. What should we do then? Drink our livers useless and slam our cars into lamp posts? Alcohol, tabacco, hard drugs, and even poor eating are the real culprits behind DNA degeneration, not cannabis.

It's funny that something like this would even be published after it has been proven that cannabis consumption promotes the formation of new neurons, serves as a neuroprotective anti-oxidant, dilates the bronchi, treats and prevents alzheimer's, reduces retinal pressure, reduces blood pressure, has a suicide-enducing effect on cancerous cells, decreases tumor size, stimulates the appetite, has a wide array of medical uses/health bebefits, is actually okay for pregnant mothers to use and reduces wasting syndrome in AIDS patients. How is something that reduces WASTING SYNDROME and that is OKAY for PREGNANT MOTHERS to use going to harm your DNA? Could a website that thinks it's readers are dumb enough to believe that tap water is no safer than bottled water be accredited? They're another puppet news site sponsored by big Pharma that tells you which hospital will rob you most humanely and will never tell you that cannabis is really illegal because it can't be patented (let alone doesn't cause even remotely as much damage to the user/society as does alcohol and tabacco and promotes overall longevity). Oh, right. Did you know that the British Medical Journal actually once let slip out that THC is safer to ingest than caffeine? If you're dumb enough to think that THC will drive you into down syndrome, why aren't coffee drinkers retarded yet?
