More Good News in the War on (Some) Drugs

Heavy marijuana use not linked to lung cancer

"Despite popular belief, a new study shows that people
who smoke marijuana do not appear to be at increased risk of developing lung
cancer.

It seems even heavy, long-term marijuana users do not appear to
increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth,
throat, or esophagus."


Well, it looks like another of the arguments against decriminalizing marijuana (the health one) has fallen to peer-reviewed science.
