Well the advice from my consultant is that on balance I am at far less risk from the relatively low amount I use not least when compared with the alternative prescription drugs I would be using otherwise.
Don't forget there is about 3000 years of experience behind the use of cannabis as a herbal remedy and less than 10 for most common pain killers in use today.
As always it is a case of balance and even over use of water can cause serious health issues too.
