But its “all natural” is the stoners excuse.
Pot use kills motivation and ambition.
They think they are the smartest bunch on the planet when they are stoned but in reality it was just a dream.

Does this mean a person should cut back on their cannabis and brownie consumption?

"Edibles are nasty all the way around. "

have you ever had an edible? Don't buy your edibles from the gas station.

A friend told me the ones online are great.

Read the reviews and spend more than 2 dollars for them.

Even stoner get cancer from somking weed and other bad thimgs.

AI Overview
The relationship between marijuana smoking and cancer rates is complex and varies by cancer type, but there is evidence linking regular cannabis use to increased risks of certain cancers, particularly head and neck cancers. Research shows a correlation between smoking marijuana and higher risks of oral, oropharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers, while the association with lung cancer is less clear and may depend on factors like concurrent tobacco use.
Head and Neck Cancers
Oral Cancer:
A study found that individuals with cannabis use disorder (CUD) were about three times more likely to develop oral cancer.
Oropharyngeal Cancer:
There’s an elevated risk for oropharyngeal cancer, which affects the soft palate, tonsils, and back of the throat, especially with frequent cannabis use.
Laryngeal Cancer:
Some studies indicate a significantly increased risk of laryngeal (voice box) cancer among those with CUD.
Lung Cancer
The link between marijuana smoking and lung cancer is not as strong as that for tobacco.
Some studies have found no significant association between cannabis smoking and lung cancer, while others suggest a weak association, especially in individuals who also smoke tobacco.
Factors Influencing Risk
Joint-Years:
This metric combines the duration and frequency of cannabis use and is often used to measure exposure. Higher joint-year exposure is associated with increased risk for certain cancers.
Concurrent Tobacco Use:
Combining marijuana and tobacco smoking can significantly amplify the risk for head and neck cancers.
Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD):
Problematic cannabis use is linked to a heightened risk of oral and head and neck cancers.
