The tobacco companies will tell you there is no way to prove that anyone has died due to smoking cigarettes either. It only took America 40 years longer than it should have to figure that out.
Please give some links to those studies showing coffee is more dangerous than marijuana.
The fact that marijuana is smoked means that the user is inhaling (and holding) smoke in their lungs. Unless you are growing your own, you have no idea what pesticides (radioactive or not) are used to grow your weed. I trust Mexican drug cartels about as much as corporate tobacco growers with keeping my health as a priority.
If marijuana is so safe, why are there so many ER visits in the US every year. (One figure I found was over 240,000.) Are there stats for coffee related visits to the ER that don't involve burns?
