Looks like the recreational users vastly outnumbered the medicinal users .......but I suppose that is to be expected.

I see the US is trying to outlaw vape pens saying they could be dangerous to health. Looks like the tobacco lobby got to them. On the flipside you can bet discreet shipping of vape pens from Canada will increase.

I forget what the actual disease is called, but I think the slang term is 'popcorn lung'. It was first diagnosed in people whose job entails them to make a lot of pop corn. Supposedly, they inhale the steam, (and butter flavoring) and it causes a lung type of cancer.

Using cannabis, which is a “vasodilator,” can cause the blood vessels in your body to widen. THC acts as a smooth muscle relaxer, relaxing the walls of the arteries, which can result in lower blood pressure and increased blood flow to the tissues. This additional blood-flow increases the amount of plaque that deposits itself around the walls of the artery. The plaque makes the artery narrow and in turn increases pressure and resistance. Although it is a highly rare condition, cannabis arteritis is caused by long-term daily marijuana use. The disease results in lesions that grow on the arteries, leading to ulcers or other problems.

My first thought is that must be a government study.. LOL Then I read the comments at the bottom.. Their all calling BS on that too.
