I turned off my autocorrect a long time ago. I’d rather have it stay “menrality” than become "menstral or something. I’ve been totally clean for a long time though. Even if it were legal, I couldn’t smoke it, because, no doubt, my work would start testing.
Evidence… where it be mon?
If she let her baby drown, she wasn’t innocent.
To be fair, prolonged close contact in a closed environment with someone who has TB and is coughing is a really bad idea.
I visited the Museum of Hemp & Marijuana last year while in Amsterdam and according to them, the answer is NO. I tried to find a cite, but their website is pretty lame and much of it is in Dutch.
Marijuana seems to double the chance of testicular cancer:

and increase the risk of lung cancer by 8%

Like nicotine, thc itself is relatively safe (alcohol really isn’t, it isn’t that hard to poison yourself drinking) - at least as far as managing to overdose goes, its very likely just the smoking that is problematic - along with impairment (driving under the influence). Even just breathing wood smoke is linked to cancer.
You can always find some study that supports your argument. Here’s one that says exactly the opposite.
Also, there is no credible argument that ANYTHING in life is totally harmless. Anything you choose can be harmful to someone in some circumstance. I have a friend who almost died from eating shrimp–he has a severe allergy to shellfish. Therefore, should we ban seafood?
You can die from a condition called hyponatremia. It would be very difficult to avoid the substance that causes this.
What I, and many others, advocate is a rational, fact-based approach to the issue of marijuana use, which may be finally about to happen.
Your link doesn’t say that. It says that there may be cancer suppressing compounds in marijuana, not that smoking it would prevent cancer. As I said, its believed that the health issues are primarily in the method of ingestion.
And where did I say anything about banning it? Having health risks does not mean we should ban it. However, people should have enough information on the risks to be able to weigh the benefits against them. Frankly, I don’t have testicles, that isn’t a huge deal to me.

“…to date, there are no deaths known to have resulted from overdose of cannabis.” (cite).
The wikipedia page that I actually snagged that cite from does note that there have been deaths related to Marinol, the pharmaceutical which intended to provide only THC (seeing as cannabis actually contains many more psychoactive compounds in addition to THC).
So it may be possible to somehow overdose on THC but it would require an extraction process (to isolate that specific compound and and then join a significant number of these together) and a method of ingestion (pills, rather than smoking or baking it into food) that aren’t found in the natural smoking world. I believe the body would become too sluggish or actually go to sleep long before any level of dangerous toxicity could be reached via smoking or eating cannabis, but this is General Questions 
An article from the Medical Journal of Australia:
The human toxicity of marijuana.

Dr. Gabriel G. Nahas, the author of this, and other anti-marijuana studies was not considered by his peers to be a credible researcher. Here’s more info on him.
Lord knows I’ve tried.
Maybe it’s because his parents gave him a girl’s name…
Gabriel is a girl’s name where you come from?
I recall a spate of fatal train wrecks about 20 years ago where the crews inevitably tested positive for marijuana. A few years ago there was another spate of railway accidents and the common culprit was texting. The real cause in these cases is probably boredom.
Hyponatremia can be caused by many more things than an excess intake of water, if that is what you are meaning. To equate water and marijuana use as being equally harmful is just not true.
True. They’re not “cannabis-boarding” them over there to keep us safe over here. 
ETA: Dude!

Assuming that you’re simply missing the point rather than evading it, here it is, as stated in my original post:
“Also, there is no credible argument that ANYTHING in life is totally harmless. Anything you choose can be harmful to someone in some circumstance.”
The equation you mention is in your mind, not in my post.
