Why does CNN Elizabeth Cohen, so-called medical reporter, lie about marijuana causing lung cancer?

Question

It's total nonsense. People shouldn't smoke anything, but at least know what you are talking about.

Answer 1

something worse then cancer - schitzophrenia ???

haha wow yea im dying from my mental disorder scitzophrenia. its a disorder not a disease or a cancer, idiot.

that just shows u that ur saying is right, why do people talk about things they have no idea what there talking about?

Answer 2

I don't think anyone lies about anything unknown like that.

If people are going to mess around with drugs when we don't know 99% of the long time side effects, they deserve whatever they get- cancer, schizophrenia, depression, psychosis- so who cares who's lying?

Answer 3

It causes something worse than cancer ...schizophrenia

then these losers go out and kill someone else the worthless bastads

Answer 4

It's not surprising she would report marijuana that way.

The media is merely the megaphone of the government when it comes to reporting on drugs.

I believe people shouldn't use alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana, but alot of information sourced from the government is just fear mongering propaganda to justify their campaign to arrest all users.
