I asked him to prove his statement of "science has proven that it has no lasting affects".....the link you provided even states that there are negative side effects:
"The harm caused by smoking can be minimized or eliminated by the use of a vaporizer^[110] or ingesting the drug in an edible form"

So, you guys are proposing that the users NEVER smoke it?
