Evidence? What evidence? You posted no evidence, the "report" contains no evidence, so where is it? Are you hiding it? lol

Fact is, you don't have any

When you smoke cannabis, you are taking in a LOT more than just THC. Perhaps THC pills would be harmless, but there is no way that smoke in the lungs is EVER good, and I dare you to find a study that says so.
You don't need to smoke it to begin with. You can use a vaporizer, or cook it into any food product containing fat. I like how you are substituting vague insinuations for actual evidence here.. wait a second, is THIS your vaunted "evidence?" lol.

But since you insist upon shifting the burden of proof because you have no evidence to support your position.. you say "There is no way smoke in the lungs is ever good"..

bzzt, this is the straw man fallacy.

Its not incumbent upon me, or any cannabis smoker, to prove its good.. because we never claimed it was. All we claim is that there is NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE of long term negative effects to justify making it illegal.

Secondly, you also make the assumption that stuff which will kill you in larger quantities is also bad in small amounts. Just because inhaling large amounts of tar, carbon monoxide and other byproducts of plant combustion daily might shorten your life doesn't mean that the same holds true for the sort of amounts which most cannabis smokers inhale.

You are making illogical assumptions rather than basing your position on evidence. So, once again, let me invite you to show us some actual evidence.. rather than burden of proof shifting and baseless opinionating.
