   Not exactly. The pamphlet mixes facts with some pretty big assumptions. It implies that marijuana causes cancer by pointing out, correctly, that it contains chemicals that are carcinogenic. What they fail to say is that there is no link between marijuana smoking and lung, neck or head cancer, even among heavy long-term smokers (in the study heavy smokers smoked more than 22,000 times).

   The article also makes some pretty stupid statements, like "Anyone who takes drugs does it to avoid problems or get rid of some pain or unwanted feelings, including boredom."
   Personally, I do a lot of things to avoid boredom- I watch TV, play basketball, smoke weed, or answer random questions on yahoo answers. I don’t see the big deal. Sure, people can take drugs to cover up deeper emotional issues, but that’s not always the case. Just like alcohol, if you use it responsibly marijuana is dangerous.

   "Each time someone gets “high”, they don’t feel quite as high as they did before, and each time they feel a little worse afterwards." The first part is true, you build up a tolerance to marijuana the more you use it. The second part is not, you do not feel worse after smoking. I dont know where they got that.

   As for the part about burning up vitamins, I’m not sure. I have not heard that before but I assume it is related to the fact that marijuana increases your heart rate for a short time. Or maybe that is why you get the "munchies." Either way I don’t think it is a serious problem or more people would know about it (given the fact that millions of people smoke it).
