10. I've been smoking pot for over 30 years

Apr 2014

I just lost a friend of 37 years with cancer, non smoker, and she smoked pot back in the 80's but never a lot, not not beyond the 80's. I had another friend die in 2009 with cancer, smoker, and she used to smoke more pot in the 80's and 90's, but she didn't smoke much after that. Me on the other hand, drinks about 6 soda's a day, I smoke, I usually only eat one meal or a small lunch and dinner, and I weigh about 125. EVERYONE is different.

Right - for some people it may be causative, we don't know how to distinguish that Yo_Mama Apr 2014 #24

But the meta analyses ruled out causation RainDog Apr 2014 #26

They didn't rule out causation in indivduals Yo_Mama Apr 2014 #28
