    [quote] Carcinogens presence: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12412839/ [/quote] --- You do realized that was published in 2002 in The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology --- do you have any substantial research that was conducted within the past couple of years [quote]Estrogen-like activity: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/6296360/ [/quote] Marijuana grown for rec use has higher levels of THC than CBD. CBD is actually being used to help patients with seizures. As there are different types of flowers, some have high CBD but most don't.

  • I have provided substantiating evidence. If you want to do research and provide links to RCTs which dispute that which I have provided, go for it. Your teachers may have told you that sources need to be within the last 5 years, but in the real world that's not true. Read any current journal article and you will see citations dating back decades. I do applaud you for actually looking at my links before commenting. However, your biggest qualm seems to be that some studies were on adolescents. That is true, but is absolutely doesn't confound my assertions. These studies are pretty good science. If I wanted to spend more time finding more recent data it would not be hard, but I already know what I said is true.

  • I am long removed from teachers telling me what to do. At my job, reports given to me by my colleagues have to be up to date. If we are interested in merger or an acquisition recent information is relevant. We don't go back in 2000 to check up on the status of the company. I just think you evidence doesn't coincide with the discussion that is happening right now It is 2015 and there is an abundance of research arguing your points. You just seem closed minded on this issue.

    No, I'm open minded. I also stated that i'm in favor of legalization, but the truth about its potential harms should be openly discussed. It's common knowledge that ALL forms of burnt vegetation present some level of carcinogen. It's also common knowledge that THC is a psychotropic drug which can impact your psychiatric well-being long term. Whether the study is on adults or children is completely irrelevant Your issue with the date of the study is funny to me. I haven't seen any published articles lately about whether the earth is flat or not... I suppose that's still up for debate until you can give me a current journal article. I'm done here. Let's just go play Destiny, and smoke a bowl, if you need.
