   No, you said I was stoned and that is why I didn't answer your question. I   
   assumed it was a tongue-in-cheek straw man.

   What ratio of cells does chemo kill compared with to THC?   
      
   As I still have enough cells to type this after 40 years of cell killing,   
   I assume the excess THC-induced apoptosis is trivial.   
      
   I don't have cancer and there aren't any elephants in my garden, proving   
   that THC keeps elephants away. There are a few sad-looking roses, so   
   perhaps they've caught apoptosis from me when I smoked a spliff near them   
   on Friday night.
