marijuana.. does it cause cancer?

[MyMARYJANE]

hey everyone i know that nobody really knows for sure if pot causes cancer.. i hear soooooo many different things. One thing i read says it does, while others say it doesnt?! Most of the things I read said that theres no connection w/ marijuana and cancer. But some others say there def. is a connection. I was reading one thing that said:


"Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per day may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.
Tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke may work together to change the tissues lining the respiratory tract. Marijuana smoking could contribute to early development of head and neck cancer in some people."

Iduno if this is true or not because after I read that I saw a bunch of other websites and articles saying that it likely doesn't cause cancer.

WHY DONT THEY JUST MAKE UP THEIR MINDS?!? WTF.

I usually only smoke like 4 times a week, maybe once or twice a day... I dont think that would be enough to cause cancer if the quote above is true. what do you guys think? I think that you'd have to smoke a hell of a lot of weed for it to cause cancer (if it even does) any thoughts?

today my psychology teacher told me that they did a study and found that people that smoke pot have no better chance of getting lung cancer than someone who doesn't smoke anything

Some "experts" say it SHOULD cause cancer but I have no reason to believe it does. Look at the cancer free stoners that have been toking for 20+ years.

I'll tell you what it doesn't do and that is emit alpha particles. Tobacco does.

Uhm, duh it causes cancer. It's unfiltered smoke. In your lungs. Cigarettes are filtered. But I don't really care, 'cause it's awesome.

um... you dont know what the hell your talkign about, cause there hasn't been a single documented case of someone with lung cancer that smoked only weed. and what are you saying, filtered cigarettes don't cause cancer? cause they do.
