It has nothing to do with hydroponics. Whoever said that should think before they speak.

You see, the debate isn't whether or not weed contains carcinogens, it is known that the smoke from dried plant material contains carcinogens. The question is two-fold, in that it's more about what the smoke does to your lungs and if it's really the carcinogens that cause cancer (sounds stupid right? Lemme explain)

Tobacco smoke restricts the alveoli in the lungs, which both not only invites in tar and carcinogens but also creates a place for them to "stagnate" so to speak, which are the conditions needed for cancer to begin. However, cannabis smoke dilates the alveoli, which may or may not result in less tar being held in the lungs.

It has been believed by many different, albeit liberal, scientists out there that it may not be the carcinogens causing cancer, but instead the use of polonium-210 to grow tobacco. The FDA approves this radioactive element on food products, as it has been shown to cause no harm. However, no test has been done to prove the health risks of smoking plants treated with polonium-210. This may or may not be because it would slow down tobacco industries exponentially, seeing as how the tobacco plant can be a cumbersome (ooh, word of the day) plant to grow.

However, you can't let all of this get in the way of common sense. Of course putting the smoke from dry plant material in your body can't necessarily be good for you, and the safest way to smoke cannabis by far is through a vaporizer.

Wow, I can't believe I just typed all of that. Oh, and I'm not saying all of this is 100% accurate, either. If you were presenting this for someone, you might want to back up my facts first. Then again, you should always do that, even if you hear something on the news.
graph Reviewed by graph on . Weed causes cancer? Ive read all the new reports about weed not causing any cancer even for a "heavy" user. I showed this to some people and preached it to them. But this is the part where I'm confused they all agreed that weed was safe and didnt cause cancer but they said the chemicals that you use to grow it hydroponically are what cause the cancer and bad effects and bad health. I totally think all organic fertizlizers are safe in any growing conditions what are you're thoughts? Rating: 5
