I read that pot has over 400 carcinagens and I smoked cigarettes for about 10 years and pot for about 25 years. I have lung cancer on my father's side and my mother died of ovarian cancer. I don't know if it helps to find the cause or "blame". Just recognize that lifestyle changes have positive affects and go with it.
I had my eyes checked because it doesn't feel like I see the same as I did. One eye was worse and one eye improved. I was really surprised and ended up changing my glasses. I guess I only have one problem...and one surprise!
