Hey, if you ingest enough nutmeg it's poison as well. Fortunately, as has been pointed out, pot isn't usually smoked in high enough quantities for this to be a factor. Except possibly for "smoking machines." It’s true that, with most things that would be unhealthy for you in great quantities, moderation is the key.

I would be curious to know who sponsored this research. At least it's Canadians(government?) and not the US, but still. Also I don't recall anyone out there saying smoke pot as a "health food". I never used it as a health food. Well that's all I got off the top of my head.

When eaten, marijuana is harmless to the lungs and the respiratory system, and to the rest of your body as well. You shouldn't drive after a bunch of pot brownies, but eating marijuana is safer than drinking booze. Smoking marijuana isn't too good for you, I will concede. But your metaphor doesn't work here.

And neither is tobacco, so breaking even is not remotely a good thing. I repeat: It ain’t health food. And neither is tobacco, so breaking even is not remotely a good thing.

The one toxin, at 20 time the level of tobacco, might constitute a break even point... Of course, people rarely smoke the same amount of pot as they would/do tobacco.
