"Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals. There are 33 cancer-causing chemicals contained in marijuana. Marijuana smoke also deposits tar into the lungs. In fact, when equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked, marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes."

Which is what I expected BUT it seems that THC may help make the tar less hazardous.

I know nothing about that, but I guess the cannabis produced by the state will be more natural than the one made by criminal organisations
right?
I mean, Hell's surely put stuff in it to make more profit or something like that, no?

I should have said no "conclusive" evidence. The rates are so low that it's impossible to determine if cancer was caused by marijuana or other factors.

A lot of things can cause cancer. Car fumes, cooking meat at high temperatures, even sitting too much. There are so many cancer causing things in your life, that you probably dont even realize, that marijuana isnt even a factor.

Anything that you burn causes lung cancer. This is due to the burning chemical reaction produce product that is hazardous when inhaled, including products that cause cancer. Weed is not less or more dangerous than burning tobacco.

What I really don't like a bout weed legalization is that smoking weed is now legal, which means that I may have to wear a gas mask soon, since I have a deadly allergy to weed.

Where do you guys get your information from? Most flamible materials are carbon based, which means carbon monoxide is produced when burning. Carbon monoxide can kill you from asphyxiation in minutes, that light years from being able to cause cancer. Some materials already have toxic chemicals in them and are released when burning, like plastic and rubber and such. These will kill you from organ damage, again, far before cancer could take hold.

Weed is far less dangerous than cigarettes. Cigarettes contain pesticides, formaldehyde, and all sorts of deadly shit.

I stopped reading right there.

It's the 21st century, you cannot escape it.
Grow up and deal with it.
Not everyone likes to be intoxicated such as you, and how you put it. By your own weird mentality then none of us can escape alcohol.

You like being in a messed up state, that's your decision. Don't claim others can't ditch it.

Anyway, I love rewatching the Trailer Park Boys but smoke drugs? Nah, I'm staying away from alcohol so weed is the same case. Fun show to watch, would hate to be one of them, though.

I said tobacco, not cigarette.

"Organic Irritants Pyrolysis and/or incomplete combustion of organic materials can lead to a wide variety of organic irritant species. Those considered to be the most important toxicologically are formaldehyde, unsaturated aldehydes (especially acrolein), and isocyanates (from nitrogen-containing polymers15). The first two result from partial oxidation of the carbon in the material. (Further oxidation leads to the formation of CO and then CO2.) Acrolein, in particular, has been demonstrated to be present in many fire atmospheres.16 It is also formed from the smoldering of all cellulosic materials and from the oxidative pyrolysis of polyethylenes."

Just the formaldehyde is enough to cause cancer. Of course this is OBVIOUSLY if the person survive after smoking, that should be obvious enough.

I assumed cigarettes because smoking unprocessed tobacco isnt exactly common.

ok, now I'm against what I just saw at tv news
Apparently, cannabis sold for medical purpose is more expansinve than the one sold for recreative purpose...
Medical stuff usually needs additional checks and certifications. Something you consume for fun needs far less. More effort, more money. What is wrong with that?
