This is a list question (post a list of these things). I'm not sure it's appropriate for any SE site. It's too nebulous of a question. – Nicol Bolas Mar 9 '12 at 21:58

@animuson - Possibly, there is actual hard science that relates to this topic and I do not know if that would qualify as being skeptic or not. – Lynda Sep 23 '12 at 1:41

I would suggest rewording this to ask if there have been any studies or evidence found that links marijuana to cancer. As it stands now, and is proven in this comment thread, this question could lead to a debate on the topic. – MCeley Mar 8 at 15:30

Does marijuana lead to other (harder) drug use?
added by Lynda May 2 '12 at 17:34
link|flag
I suggest rewording this to ask for studies that provide proof of harder drug use. As the question stands now it could lead to longer conversations or debates on whether marijuana is a gateway drug. – MCeley Mar 8 at 15:28

Very subjetive. – Renan Mar 13 '12 at 19:27

How about "Does smoking pot cause cancer?" Or if you'll have sources that it does in the question explanation, maybe "Is cancer a deterrent to smoking pot?" Second one might not be constructive though. – Eva Feb 24 at 18:03
@Eva: Smoking any carcinogen causes cancer. Have fun. – Jim G. Feb 24 at 20:48

@Jim I think that sounds kinda judgmental of people who smoke pot. Questions are supposed to be looking for knowledge not looking to start trouble. – Eva Feb 24 at 20:54
@Eva: Nope. Not even a little bit. The question seeks to find out the benefits which exceed the inevitability of cancer. // But thanks for your interest! – Jim G. Feb 25 at 1:39
