Wholehearted agreement here....

While a typical cannabis joint may contain as much as 150% of the tar of a cigarette, think of how many joints you smoke in a day compared to even a light tobacco smoker. Tobacco also contains many other chemicals that brew into a nice cocktail of carcinogens.

That being said, there are many other lung diseases other than cancer, and many are helped along by breathing in tar which coats and damages the tiny scillia in the airways. But the same is true (and probably moreso) with smoggy air, and I don't see any health nuts wearing gas masks on the street

To my mind, the benefits far outweight any perceived threats. Okay, said my piece :dance:
