[edit] Links regarding the carcinogenic effect of cannabis smoke.
Elroch you know very well from the message I left on your userpage that there is plenty of evidence that smoking cannabis does not lead to lung cancer. There is also evidence that it might, but any evidence about whether cannabis smoke causes or doesn't cause lung cancer is completely irrelevant to this article. This article is about anti-carcinogens. You seem to have an intent on adding to this article studies which show that there might be an increased lung cancer risk from smoking cannabis. You could add the links that shows there is no increased risk but you don't. Why not? You seem biased. Anyway as I've said it's irrelevant. This article is about anti-carcnogens, a discussion on whether smoking cannabis might cause lung cancer is pretty irrelavent.
There are a number of ways that cannabis can be consumed that don't involve inhaling smoke, so unless you can show me that any of chemicals in cannabis cause cancer, 'using' vapourising or eating cannabis certainly doe not have any cancer risk. As I said it's irrelevant anyway, as the article is about anticarcinogens. Your additions wouldn't even really be relevant to the carcinogen article as the links you've provided don't establish whether any of the chemicals in cannabis cause cancer. Also some of the stuff you're referencing is pretty dubious to say the least, for example,
"No clear dose-response relationship was observed between the risk of lung cancer and the intensity or duration of cannabis use. This study suggests that smoking cannabis may be a risk factor for lung cancer."
It seems to me like you didn't even read the abstact as it clearly says, no clear dose-response relationship was observed between the risk of lung cancer and the intensity or duration of cannabis use. A suggestion that it may be a risk is certainly not causative and it's dishonest to imply this in the artcle whilst quoting this study.Supposed (talk) 06:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
