thetraveller, that's absolute bs, I'm afraid. Check out a variety of studies and you will see that it's no longer a moot issue actually. Especially if you're smoking the new generation of skunk, major depressive episodes, psychosis, and a whole bunch more goodies are waiting for you. Also, I don't know what age you are (I'm mid thirties) but at my age you simply have to look at a spectrum of friends you were smoking with and see how they're doing now. All of us who smoked a lot have paid the price... without exception.
