This article doesn't really support your statement:
Maybe it did? Maybe it didn't?
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. If cancer is doing this, it's a good thing.
Looks like we have studies going either way.

I mean I'm fine with people doing whatever they want to. I fully support marijuana legalization. But let's not pretend that smoking joints is going to prevent cancer.

I'm not pretending anything, nor did I say anything about smoking joints preventing cancer. The article you linked doesn't really say what you claimed it did.

Not really comparable to tobacco. It's one thing to deny research that's been conducted, and another thing to invent results when there isn't any data. It was possible to do studies with tobacco because it was widely available. Marijuana distribution has been mostly illicit, and controlled. Let's revisit this when there's some real data?
Also, we're getting better at finding out why some people respond differently to different drugs.
