Does Weed Cause Cancer???

[expandingeye]

That would be a wonderful world. Instead of German, Polish, French-Canadian, and, Lithuanian, I could describe myself by my THC/cannabidiol ratio.

oh hahahaha man thats great!
I agree with LIP the most, with thc working against the harsh smoke of weed smoking. Though im not totally convinced.

I seriously want to get a vape. I hate waking up in the morning with a clogged up chest.

Chong- You will LOVE it! Give it 2 weeks of nothing but vape and I bet your lungs will be clear! I love my VB!- Granny:hippy:

it actually slows some cancers, right? so, then how could it cause cancer?

First you have to understand which are the ingredients that slow or halt cancers. It's the active compounds, THC and CBD, that seem to slow some and possibly cure some types of cancer. In the lab studies that have shown positive indications against cancer, those active ingredients have often been administered in much higher concentrations and doses to mice and/or rats than human users would obtain through smoking, eating, or vaping.

For human recipients, the by-products of combustion that come along with those active ingredients are still potentially carcinogenic (although I'm convinced the active compounds probably deliver some protective effects against those combustion byproduct carcinogens). So it's a subtle double-edged sword in a lot of ways and thus is hard for folks who want it to be either all good or all bad to understand. It's even hard for those of us who know it has both benefits and drawbacks to understand.
