My problem with that report, and maybe I just didnt read it clearly enough, is that the "harm" is never stated. Pot, for instance, wouldnt be a risk of lung cancer if one ingested it so what other ill affects are there? Johns Hopkins studied Pot over a 15 year period and found out that heavy smokers actually lost less of their memory retention than non-smokers (prolly cause the pot heads didnt use their memory while stoned LOL)
I do like the fact that they say they included the social problem as well as health. I feel the social problem is a much bigger threat because it affects people other than just the drug user. You could wake up tomorrow with cancer and had never done any of the big cancer causers like smoking, etc. but you could get drunk and run your car into a school bus.
This is one of those never ending debates I think that ultimately would rely heavily on the intelligence of the masses, which is a damn scary thought
