The thing is, there is a dose effect with tobacco and cancer and heart disease. At doses of less than 1/2 ppd the association is no where near as strong as it is at 2 ppd. If MJ is legalized for recreational use and use because more widespread and socially acceptable we might see doses where there is an association.
And Townie, please don't give me that one guy who smoked 50 bongs a day without any ill effects. There are plenty of people who smoke tobacco a lot and live to ripe old ages, yet the association with cancer and heart disease is real. An anecdote only means that person dodged the bullet.

There is really no reliable long-term research on the topic because of the "dose effect", the lack of quality control over "strength", and the fact that it was actually illegal and relied on volunteers telling the truth.
