Someone the other day told me that THC cures cancer so it’s okay to smoke pot indoors. We’re cooked.

Potheads have always said stuff like that. You might have been talking to a pothead.
I grew up around hippies and potheads but this new legal-weed brand of normie pothead is different. It’s depressing.
I haven't encountered that; back when it was illegal I still heard lots of claims like it cures cancer, or is completely healthy with no negative effects, or that it's not addictive. I haven't noticed an increase in those sorts of claims with legalization and I assume it's all still the same people making them.
I can’t stop hearing them after visiting Denver, CO.
