No cannabis on it's own doesn't cause cancer. If you vaporize or eat it, you're fine. But smoking ANYTHING increases your chance for cancer. It's not just the tars in cigs that do damage to your lungs, but the actual process of smoking as well. Prior to becoming a habitual cig smoker, all I toked on was weed. Gravity bongs, regular bongs, joints, blunts, pipes, bubblers, etc. And yet every morning I'd wake up with a terrible cough, and hack up black/gray phlegm. If smoking cannabis isn't harmful, then why was this happening? No, I was not living in a polluted area, I was out in the middle of cow country. So it HAD to be the fact I was smoking my weed. Now that I've stopped smoking cigs and use my vape almost all the time, no more coughs and no more black phlegm. But I guess it's all about personal experience, and not what some study or others say, so I'll keep hitting the vape, and everyone can smoke the way they want to. It's not how you get to the end of the rainbow, as long as you get the pot of gold at the end, right?
A study of over 64000 heavy marijuana users found no direct link between heavy cannabis use over a long period of time and cancer of any kind, including lung cancer.

Smoking cannabis can kill cancerous cells.

Smoking cannabis kills free radicals which can cause cancer.

Cannabis smoke cotains carciogens, yes, but if you blow your hits out in a natural breath [3 seconds] you can expell almost all of them, while still abosrbing all the THC in the smoke.

No one has EVER developed cancer from cannabis use alone.

No one has ever died from cannabis use alone.

Vaping is not the safest way.

Smoking is not the safest way.

Eating is the safest way, but concidering theres no proof that smoking cannabis can increase your chances i wouldnt worry about it too much.

And i find it hard to belive you were coughing black phelm up. Irecently quit cigs and i was a 40 a day smoker for more years than i care to remember, and i never once coughed up black or grey phlem, a never really coughed. And all that time i was smoking cannabis as well. So you must have very weak lungs.

It's never done me no harm what so ever, and i dont think vapes are good enough to spend that amount of money on.

The most i've ever spent on smoking appartus is about £60. Nothing is worth anymore than that, at all.

Like i said, it doesnt bother me how you get high, but i'll continue to smoke it.

But as you said, the goal is to get high... by what ever means necessary.
