uummmm, he is the one who originally hypothesized the link to cancer with marijuana in the 70s. the goal of his most recent study was to find a direct link. how is that bias?
"It is Tashkin's research that the Drug Czar's office cites in ads linking marijuana to lung cancer. Tashkin himself has long believed in a causal relationship, despite a study in which Stephen Sidney examined the files of 64,000 Kaiser patients and found that marijuana users didn't develop lung cancer at a higher rate or die earlier than non-users".

seriously hr, weak arguments all around here, especially for a lawyer. your personal experience is one thing and i feel bad for what you went through, but mom being a cig smoker might have had a PROFOUND effect on her developing lung cancer. also, you are completely wrong about tashkin.
