The post above is misleading and biased. Pot does not cause hepatitis C anymore than it causes HIV/AIDS. This is such a joke. Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection caused by exposure to the blood of an infected person. This claim is ridiculous. Hepatitis C is caused by injection drug use, blood transfusion, Sexual exposure, or Body piercings/tattoos etc.
It is true that pot smoke contains more tar but I firmly believe that cigarettes cause far greater harm. Cigarettes kill more people than suicide, homicide and traffic accidents combined. Pot has never caused a single death...
Alcohol is also far worse as far as causing damage to health and to society.
It is a personal choice one makes, but it should be based on personal experience not on the words of some misinformed anti-drug zealot. People (adults) should try it for themselves. For the record I used to smoke but quit because I got severe munchies.

Marijuana does NOT cause hepatitis C
