thanx alot

well....................the tar and whatnot could potentially cause cancer, and the THC could kill off potentially cancerous cells; i think it's too soon to say that it "prevents" cancer, and you can't say that inhaling all the plant matter mightn't cause problems

LOL shitanix her freind is over here and she just said those exact words lol

Smoking anything is cancerous but the cannabis itself isn't.

Of course, I'm one to talk, I love hitting the bong.

i read in a sciencitific report once that even though weed smoke and trabacco smoke are very chemicly similiar. the carcinigens (cancer cousing chemicals) are alot less in pot. There has never been any medical reports of ANYBODY getting cancer from Pot. or atleast proven reports. and scientists are smart. if it was true they could proove it.
