Tar from cannabis cigarettes has 50% more cancer causing chemicals than a cigarette, and smokers inhale deeper and hold their breath longer, the charity warns in a report on Britain's most popular illegal drug, says the charity.

I don't know of any "pack-a-day" pot smokers.

Looks like the 12% win in Nevada encouraged the WoDers to dust off the old BS and trot it past us again

Smoking three joints a day might do as much damage to the lungs as do 20 cigarettes,
the British Lung Foundation says in a report today.

That is the pertinent message.
All folks need to do is read the message, decide if they want to pay attention or
ignore it.

And for anyone thinking this is just WOD propaganda should buy themselves a GC-MS,
hire an analytical chemist and run chromatograms on the chemicals in street-grade marijuana
vs. low-tar cigarettes.

Burning cigarettes, even the low-tar ones, are loaded enough with unpleasant chemical...
marijuana is loaded to the gunholes with the stuff.

Seriously, there is a market niche that some enterprising marijuana propagator/geneticist
should work on...the low-tar joint.
