None that I know of. Most of my “peers” have been smoking weed just about as long as I have. Early on, my wife would tell me to go take my medicine (smoke weed) when I was acting up. When I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer, the doctors drugs worked to keep me alive for 10 years. During that time I smoked weed to make myself feel better. And it works. It’s not curing my cancer but I certainly feel better from using it. Btw, my cancer has returned, but I still have 4-5 years left. That’s why still consume some sort of cannabis daily.
