One such case is Dr. Nicholas Cohen, whom you can see on the Youtube of declaring "Marijuana Damage More Than Cigarettes" - contains 50% more carcinogenic substances than tobacco. But what has Dr. Cohen forgets to mention is that the carcinogenic substances he talks about have been repeatedly explored in other studies that have completely disproved their carcinogenic properties.

Conversely, cannabis smoking has been found to even have a chance to develop raspberry lung cancerreduce it.

Every timehurriedly, teenagers and teenagers should rather wait - the young brain is going through an important development and it is always better not to disturb this development.
