The lowered cancer risk has been suspected for some time. As with any medical studies, this needs to be peer reviewed and further studies done. No, I'm not trying to be some stick in the mud saying this proves nothing, but it doesn't definitively prove that there is no cancer risk either. One should also remember that pot still likely causes things like emphysema and chronic bronchitis and the like, which are not fun.
As far as my opinion on pot goes, legalize it for all I care. It tends to be far less damaging to people than things like coke and meth. And it's not bloody likely to be more addictive than nicotine, which IIRC is at least in the top five of most addictive substances known. I want to say it's number 2 right behined heroin, but someone will for sure correct me if I'm wrong.
