Why should we believe any info from a non-credentialed stranger like you?

The smoking of marijuana causes bronchitis. There is some evidence that
smoking marijuana in combination with tobacco may increase the rate of some
cancers.
So far, the only known and verified risk of smoking marijuana and nothing else
is an increase in bronchitis.
Marijuana also seems to have legitimate medical uses in the treatment of AIDS
wasting syndrome, nausea from chemotherapy, symptoms from multiple schlerosis,
and also seems to have some anti-cancer activity for some people (there are a
few people who have cancer who claim that their cancer progression has been
halted by therapy that includes marijuana as a key component).
There is some risk from smoking illegal marijuana because it could be infected
with fungus, and some fungi can cause severe problems when smoked.
There is good evidence that use of marijuana does not increase risk of death.
Please tell me what of the above is misinformation.

No, I've sought out huge amounts of data about marijuana, and on the whole
that data says what I've summarized above.
