Simply put, it's the usual bull**** spewed forth from government. It's a nonobjective and biased argument that also come off as vague, doesn't explain all the facts, and is misinforming and even wrong.

I recommend picking up a book about it, if you're interested. Our FAQ section has a list of them.

To help put the comments of the others in context also read the following web page, it's worth a look for details on some of what we've been told in the past.

Debunking "Gutter Science"

As you'll read there the guy who actually performed the bulk of the US Governments lung research is a bit bemused by what the press and the Government has done with the results of his studies. He's pretty open in other places I've read him about the fact that he expected worse, but he's scientist enough to admit he didn't find proof if it. Just smaller studies that couldn't be reproduced and a handful of maybes in addition to minor damage to larger airways and such.

The Government just has a habit of taking handfuls of maybes and jacking them up into assumed certainties as well as continuing to make use of studies that have been debunked as garbage for years after the fact. Look up the terms Pepsi cancer cause, or the details on eggs or coffee if you'd like. You'll find handfuls of scary maybes there too, what do you think we could do with that stuff with some effort?

Read the comments by the Administrative Law Judge for the DEA after a seven month long case and months of deliberation on the value of medical marijuana at the following link, his comments are near the end of the document Judge Young's ruling (Pages 53-69). He said pot is safer than many foods we commonly eat, and he had reason for it. That's just what the science actually proves. Risk factors alone don't mean it should be illegal, and what can be proven isn't all that serious.
