Eeek! Lookout! Run away! The cannabis mutations will get you!

Smoking cannabis ALTERS your DNA 'causing mutations that can trigger serious illness, including cancer'

Smoking cannabis can alter a person's DNA, causing mutations that expose a user to serious illnesses, experts have warned.

Furthermore, the heightened risk is not exclusive to the marijuana user, a study has shown.

The disease-causing mutations are passed on to their children, and several future generations, it has emerged.

Though the link between cannabis and severe illnesses, such as cancer, has previously been documented, how this occurs and the implications for future generations was not well understood. ...

Sorry. Couldn't resist a juicy piece of reefer madness like this.

Someone remind me, for how many thousands of years have people been using cannabis? Over all those generations a persistent mutation should have become really well represented throughout the population, constantly expanded and reinforced by newly recruited cannabis "mutants," all "afflicting" subsequent generations. Consider family sizes before birth control, that's a lot of carriers of "cannabis mutation" entering the gene pool, constantly reinforced by more "cannabis victims".

Why, it's a wonder the scientists managed to find an untainted control group! Oh, that's right, they didn't. They simply "analyzed" existing work and guessed at "likely causes".

Have you ever wondered about the number of mortalities required to account for all the risks claimed by "scientists" and their "studies"? How can there be any of us left, let alone an expanding population with an increasing life expectancy? In reality it comes from statistical cadaver recycling where even an elderly man dying basically of plain old age but technically of heart failure - and with metastasized cancers of no particular consequence - is variously attributed as: a tobacco fatality because he had smoked for a period in his life; a victim of Western diets because he ate red meat; a chemical victim due to his exposure to [fill_in_whatever_compound_current_researcher_has_grants_for]; a victim of particulate pollution because he had lived within 500 meters of a main road; and so on and on. It seems no one dies of old age any more but must be a victim of something.

On second thoughts, don't bother running. You and your descendants are certain to die eventually but I strongly doubt that cannabis consumption in any form will be the cause, especially since cannabis has been shown to ameliorate a significant number of conditions.
