Carne Asada

The House of Death A DHS/DEA/DoJ/US Media coverup. Another victory in the War on Drugs?

Marijuana doesn't increase your risk of lung cancer. As presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference today. "Even very heavy, long-term marijuana users who had smoked more than 22,000 joints over a lifetime seemed to have no greater risk than infrequent marijuana users or nonusers."
