ALED Jones takes great delight in revealing that cannabis is carcinogenic when
smoked.

I don't think anybody would argue that inhaling any smoke in to your lungs was
healthy - you don't have to smoke cannabis, it can be eaten. This is sound
advice to anyone wishing to reduce any potential harmful effects of smoke.
Cannabis research is being carried out on a number of significant properties it
has in reducing cancerous cells. This has been known about for 30 years.
Most of the research suggesting cannabis is carcinogenic has been discredited.
Cannabis is generally smoked mixed with tobacco, and maybe Mr Jones would like
to explain why the hell he believes people who may be doing this harm to
themselves, as indeed millions of tobacco smokers do, should be locked up for
two years?
