When Irvin Rosenfeld was a boy, he was stricken with a rare disease that caused tumors to grow on his bones, leaving him in constant, crippling pain. He underwent several surgeries to remove the tumors, but new ones grew back. He was prescribed all sorts of painkillers and muscle relaxants, but still he ached. Then, as a college student, Rosenfeld smoked marijuana for the first time. Almost immediately, he felt better than he had in years. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| If you believe a lie doesn't that make it true. That is what politicians think. As long as people believe them they will keep on lieing. Cannabis does not cause lung cancer. I know someone who has smoked Cannabis and Tobacco for over 30 years and they still don't have cancer. [ Post Comment ] |

| Smoking pot, the opponents note, increases your risk of lung cancer and emphysema. It can also produce serious side effects, including memory impairment and severe anxiety. It disgusts me that statements like the above are still quoted as fact. The emphysema claim has been disproven by Tashkin's work. There was recently a report indicating that marijuana does not cause lung cancer. The memory impairment and severe anxiety are merely reefer madness. Why is it that the anti's are always quoted as having the facts, even though they lie consistently? [ Post Comment ] |
