Exactly, Sarah. Everything has it's dangers.
If there are actual harmful side effects to Cannabis, I certainly encourage dedicated scientists to thoroughly study them so that we can all better assess the risk/benefit ratios for specific individuals and circumstances.
But do note that, for decades now, American scientists have been effectively prohibited from studying the effects of cannabis unless they're looking for harmful effects and that it's taken this long just to find a coorelation (not even an established causual effect, mind you, just a definite nexus) between Cannabis and a harmful side effect. As drugs go, the stuff is litterally safer than water.

From Erowid's Vault:
http://www.erowid.org/culture/health/he ... ning.shtmlThe fact that water can cause fatal overdoses is not well known. Often called "water intoxication" or "hyponatremia" (low salt)1, water poisoning results when too much water is ingested in too short a time without replenishing electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium.
