I'll disagree with one thing in the article about the lung cancer thing and the comparison to cigarettes. With weed, you aren't likely smoking a pack or more a day like one does with tobacco. So the comparison made in the link:
Marijuana Doesn't Increase Risk of Lung Cancer, Mental Illness or Death | U.S. Marijuana Policy: 10 Reasons to Change Laws | TIME.com
And here:
Study: Smoking Marijuana Not Linked with Lung Damage | TIME.com
It can't really draw the conclusions that weed doesn't cause lung cancer as the second link points out that the majority of people tested haven't reached an age to where lung cancer is a real threat. And they aren't heavy users like tobacco smokers would be. Or the theories are inconclusive since both sides are not agreeing on the research data.
However, I'm sure there are more than a few folks on here that would volunteer to be a lab rat for testing the theory of marijuana use lol
All 50 US states fail to meet global police use of force standards, report finds | US news | The Guardian
"Shoot first, ask questions later" is, surprisingly enough, not an acceptable use of force in most nations.
Ridiculous. It gets better, though:
This is getting embarrassing for the US. "We're not even asking you to stop your police from killing unarmed citizens or those armed with knives... we're just asking a developed nation that supposes itself as the best in the world to at least report all the numbers."
I'm ready for Grand Vol's rebuke now. Or is he back on his self-imposed vacation or banishment? I can't keep up with his reality TV show levels of drama.

Oh gee Freak, I didn't know you were posting under another screen name. So sorry of me to wear out my welcome and you couldn't email me about it.
Some people were content to leave well enough alone and not say a word and I respect that. However, you and others couldn't keep your mouth shut and had to say something like little chatty teenage girls. You think I'm mean and hateful? Grow a pair junior; it's the internet and I'm sorry if you suffered emotional trauma over my posting and calling you stupid when you likely were being. And I'm fairly selective over those I berate and generally only when it's warranted. And most often after I've tried to be reasonable. Oh, that's an opinion as well, just like your opinion I've worn out my welcome.
So unless you are Freak, and I'm ready for a vacation for calling you out for being a snide and chatty teenage girl poster, you can take your opinion the same place you'd like me to shove mine. You don't have the right to say I've worn out my welcome and if you don't like my posts or they cause you undue stress, there's an ignore option on the left side of the screen.
Have a very nice day.
Nope, but recent posts have caused me to rethink my position on VN and move on. Proverbial straw that broke the camel's back and all.
This is my last post on the forum and won't be an "LG takes his ball" type of thing. No Grand Rants or a long winded post. Just a simple adios to some of you on here.

I just simply think you're a douche and and was glad the thread wouldn't be littered with ignorance anymore. Since I knew beyond all doubt you'd be lurking, I expressed those thoughts.
Amazing nobody liked this post. Wonder if it because 90% of the people here like Grand? We all differ in our opinions but we can treat eachother with respect despite our differences.
