Between hash foods and vaporisation, there are plenty of "healthy" ways to ingest the wonder drug that is THC. The fact that smoking it wrapped in papper is bad for you is kind of like saying... Huffing paint or aerosoles are bad for you.... BAN THEM

Firing the guy because he provided scientific evidence that cannabis was less dangerous then Cigarettes or Alcohol is just plain absurd.
China has just denied the company that is running WoW over there the ability to operate because of (Some stupid reason to do with cultural preservation).
