Hello, I found you from the writers block thing - is there any way you could point me towards the scientific papers on the effects of marijuana on the body? It's remarkably hard to find decent information on what the actual risks are.
I'm afraid that they're the kind of thing you are unlikely to find online. I read them in my University library, in things like the BMJ (British Medical Journal) and various other scientific research papers. It's possible to find extracts online, but you then have to apply for, and often pay for, the paper itself, and without a knowledge of the terminology used they may baffle you

Oh, pharmaceutically, it has its uses as a painkiller, apetite inducer, etc. More research is definitely needed on this. But whilst the waters are muddied with the issues surrounding it as a recreational drug, very little actual pharmaceutical research can be done, as no-one wishes to tarnish their reputation with papers about it, unfortunately.
Yep, your age and the type of cancer you developed are a huge indicator of one of the first genetic markers for cancer to be discovered (BRC1 or 2). In the UK, if you have a history of certain types of cancer in your family, you are given genetic screening, and are offered preventative treatment.
The only 'cure' for cancer is a 'cure' for genetic disease as a whole. Everything else is a treatment.
3. Self-righteous potheads. You never seem to see smackheads going on about how if you don't think drugs are awesome you're just sheeple.
4. Personifying a drug. I can't help but lose a bit of respect for someone when I see they have some kind of paraphernalia featuring a weed leaf & some slogan about how the Maaaaaan is keeping them down.
