HONG KONG (Reuters) - Smoking a joint is equivalent to 20 cigarettes in terms of lung cancer risk, scientists in New Zealand have found, as they warned of an "epidemic" of lung cancers linked to cannabis.
k.b.: I'm glad this study has come out. why?
Background: Bill Mahr is one of my favorite comedians who smokes marijuana and wants it made legal. He and many others use the fact that smoking a joint in your own home hurts no one.
My cousin was killed from a stray bullet by a young man who was playing with his gun in his own home after he smoked marijuana. He left behind a young son, parents, a brother and sister and countless other grieving friends and family including myself. Don't tell me it doesn't hurt.
