You do make some very good points i.e. contaminated water in mine shafts, or big AG and ferts in the ocean. Can’t deny that a large scale illegal grow can do considerable damage as well if the farmers choose to irresponsibly fertilize, use rodenticides, etc…
But its interesting to note that the other problems are seemingly swept under the rug…

That Marijuana Law Reform Advocate Responds article says literally nothing. It said that an old literature review found little evidence of weed being associated with health problems. Lit reviews are generally not scientific; they’re just summaries of other published articles on a subject with typically no peer review to determine if they’re high quality or low quality.
Basically, an old lit review has nothing to do with brand new, peer reviewed research. I find it weird that one of the leaders of NORML wouldn’t just come out and say to be careful. It’s hard to trust somebody who won’t say anything negative about their cause. Fucking lobbyists.
It’s a bit of a logical stretch to conflate one with the other. 
A bit dated but still interesting:

Sure thing guys.
I just looked at the publish date and I agree, it would strain credulity to think that. My mind collects data and makes links to other data I have have collected and see’s patterns of behaviour, it doesn’t mean they are correct but could be a possibility, even if its a very minor one lol.
Ok just seen your post, just did a quick look and have got that wrong its not young adults, its everyone the doc immunized and tested young and old. I have sent you links in a PM as this is off topic for this thread.
interesting to see what’s happened with hemp - the feds legalized it, so state governments have to rush in to make smoking “hemp” cannabis illegal - that would lead to Pharma’s worst nightmare, packs of cheap cannabis joints at the corner store for $3 a pack.
I think cheap CBD-cannabis cigs would also help wean a lot of tobacco cig-smokers off their habit too, bringing Big Tobacco onboard as another enemy. In states like Cali and Mass. we just voted to legalize cannabis - banning CBD cigs is re-criminalizing cannabis and disobeying a direct order from voters.

The handwritten doctor’s order was just eight words long, but it solved a problem for Dundee Manor, a nursing home in rural South Carolina struggling to handle a new resident with severe dementia.
David Blakeney, 63, was restless and agitated. The home’s doctor wanted him on an antipsychotic medication called Haldol, a powerful sedative.
“Add Dx of schizophrenia for use of Haldol,” read the doctor’s order, using the medical shorthand for “diagnosis.”
But there was no evidence that Mr. Blakeney actually had schizophrenia.
Antipsychotic drugs — which for decades have faced criticism as “chemical straitjackets” — are dangerous for older people with dementia, nearly doubling their chance of death from heart problems, infections, falls and other ailments. But understaffed nursing homes have often used the sedatives so they don’t have to hire more staff to handle residents.
The risks to patients treated with antipsychotics are so high that nursing homes must report to the government how many of their residents are on these potent medications. But there is an important caveat: The government doesn’t publicly divulge the use of antipsychotics given to residents with schizophrenia or two other conditions.
With the doctor’s new diagnosis, Mr. Blakeney’s antipsychotic prescription disappeared from Dundee Manor’s public record.
had to shut down the dispensary so …
correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
Really if you roll a huge hog leg in a cigar leaf you expect it is the same risk as a bowl in a water filled bong? If you use a vape cartridge and the product is heated to vaporization with a metal wire do you expect it is the same as eating a pot brownie?
Haldol is particularly nasty stuff. The problem is the same but there are newer better tolerated antipsychotics
