In their report, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs said smoking cannabis can increase the risk of "bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer as well as disorders of the heart and circulation".
This is one of the reasons why if the UK government allows the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, it will come in pill form and will only contain the active ingredients of the drug.
