All smoke is toxic. It amazes me that cigarette smoking is demonized while pot smoking barely gets a shrug. The smoke from both will eventually kill you.
My brother has been smoking the stuff for over 50 years. My sister in law smokes it too, but not as much.Here’s the kicker-she also smokes cigarettes. She is a breast cancer survivor. When I suggested to her that she should stop smoking, she told me to go “f” myself. Oh, I almost forgot- she’s a retired nurse.
Can’t make this stuff up.
Agree. It’s the smoke that’s bad for you. It’s not so much the drug properties. Doesn’t matter if it’s cigarettes or marijuana. The smoke is what causes cancer. An oncologist told me that.
“The smoke from both will eventually kill you.”

I’ve been a life long smoker of both though for the last 2 years I’ve consumed cannabis gummies instead of smoking it. I believe the cannabis is what has prevented me from getting cancer and there’s plenty of research suggesting that is the case.
Cannabinoids as anticancer drugs: current status of preclinical research
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41416-022-01727-4
” a large body of data suggests that the anticancer effects of cannabinoids are exerted at multiple levels of tumour progression via different signal transduction mechanisms. Accordingly, there is considerable evidence for cannabinoid-mediated inhibition of tumour cell proliferation, tumour invasion and metastasis, angiogenesis and chemoresistance,
as well as induction of apoptosis and autophagy. Further studies showed that cannabinoids could be potential combination partners for established chemotherapeutic agents or other therapeutic interventions in cancer treatment.”
