Please stop saying no ever died from it - many people have.

Smoking anything probably causes lung cancer, I have never disagreed with this. I'm talking about a direct cause. Again, studies don't prove anything - proof is for mathematics.
Again, studies like these don't offer proof they offer evidence. However, as with most studies like these there are variables (ie other medications, persons state before marijuana use, etc.) that cause them to be less reliable. I'm not saying it isn't true, it is interesting and something to be aware of. Far from proven though.
I already agreed doing any dangerous activities while impaired increases the risk of death.
My argument is and always has been, no one has died directly (overdosing) from using marijuana. If you can cite information that disproves this, I would be interested to see it - I am actually not arguing with you (except for you what you think proof is), if you can show me studies of people overdosing I'm genuinely interested. I'd like to actually be able to read the study, because it is easy to misrepresent what is being cited.
If you want to play the study game I can show studies that marijuana helps slow tumor growth, helps with epilepsy, etc. That is why it's not proof. Only when there is overwhelming evidence one way with very little contradicting evidence can we make any type of conclusions (climate change, cigarette smoking and cancer link).
