Do they mean tobacco before or after all the harmful chemicals have been added by the tobacco industry?

I don't put to much faith in lab animal testing. Seems that white mice get cancer off of everything that we enjoy.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

If they could show me a single case of somebody smoking only marijuana and getting lung cancer, I might be inclined to believe them. However, all I see is 400,000 deaths a year from cigarettes, and not one from the good herb. It sounds like propaganda to me.

I have never known a single person that got cancer from weed. A lot of people are smoking because of cancer not because of pot.

Simply not true.

As far as I know ... the largest case study done regarding this issue was in 2006.

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection - washingtonpost.com

Research showed no proof of marijuana use directly effecting lung cancer rates ... but a 20x risk for those who smoke 2-3 packs of cigs a day.

Cannabis can be used in food, resin pills, and vaporized anyways .....

I wish everybody was aware, though, that the majority of cancer risk in tobacco doesn't even come from the carcinogens, but from Polonium-215 present in the soil they grow the tobacco in; and thus retained in the plant itself.


Funny how these objective anti-cannabis sites, giving us all the "facts", keep out facts like that; or the fact that cannabinoids selectively and aggresively destroy cancer cells. Not to mention acting neuro-protectively against physical head trauma and mutagenic agents.

Given the right amount of money, any "scientific study" can prove or disprove anything...

Anyway, if i die from cancer caused by weed, i promisse to write in my tombstone : "Weed ACTUALLY causes cancer... they were right... dammit!"
