Does Marijuana Cause Cancer?

I think anything that irritates the lungs can possibly cause cancer. There's certainly enough crap in the air that could irritate your lungs. That said, taking a few hits from a doobee can set one's head right, thus reducing stress that can give you a heart attack. We're all going to die from something. So what do you want, cancer or a heart attack?

 

well cancer is started when your cells make a mistake in its mytosis or miosis, one of those...

and i think itd take ALOT of good weed to confuse yourself on a cellular level (lol)

also, its my running theory that the only reason people get lung cancer is because their body is so used to tobacco and basically dependant on it (mentally) that their cells try to like, evolve to take in more of it with every puff.....that or take in less of it....and that makes them try to make better cells when they copy themselves and that turns into cancer

but meh...im no scientist

 

if marijuana causes cancer then i dont care because mostly every thing out there now adays can lead to cancer so if i get cancer ill ask for medical marijuana

 

I think Id much rather die from smoking weed
then old age.
so if it does cause cancer who cares and if it doesnt.. fuck we all die eventually... does it matter which way we go as long as were happy?

 

The carcinogens in marijuana smoke causes cancer. The THC itself doesn't. If you think inhaling tar into your lungs is good for you, you need a reality check.

 

Inhaling smoke over your lungs is never good for your lungs, and I am sure this can cause cancer.

However, I do not think that cannabis has more cancer inducing properties then for example smoking any other plant?

I do know for sure however that tabacco causes cancer because of the radioactive stuff in it.

 

Bob Marley died of Toe cancer.

 

BS. He turned downed treatment on his toe. It spread to his head. Oops.

 

There is ZERO proof that Marijuanna smoke is bad for your lungs. It's not the same as cig smoke and doesn't behave the same.

 

Zero proof?

All smoke is bad for your lungs, no matter what smoke period. The question is, is it more damaging then any other smoke?

Tobacco is much more damaging, but that has got to do with Lead-210 and Pulonium-210 (that is how they were called I believe). One of these 2 radioactive substances has a very long halflife, that's why people who stopped smoking still can get lung cancer 5 years later.

 

dude they can use me instead of mice and i wont even charge a cent!

 

SOLAR PUFF... greatest way to smoke ever....
i havent yet to try the moon....but i think lunar puffing is near impossible...
....

 

Thats exactualy how i think, we're gunna die one day anyway... why not have the best times we can?

 

Man check it out on youtube, ive seen it done but i dont know much about it. oops sorry, i mis read you said lunar.

 

Wow, Lucky you. I'd love to be able to get high through methods where the active chemical isn't even present in the blood.
Unless of course you actually baked/cooked it into something.

 

I just think a lot of anything on the lungs is bad, I smoke pot and cigs and by far cigs are worse for cancer because of the junk they add to cigs. Cigs make me feel worse lung wise. Also cigs are addictive.

At age 18 I rather see my kids do weed than cigs because less harmful. Also Cigs they will have a very hard time in stopping.

 

No way man, the Herb fights cancer, THC is what you would call a miracle drug

 

Ive read in many of the posts above that any type of smoke is bad for you and could possibly cause cancer. That is not entirely true, there are many plants that when are smoked are quite beneficial to lung health, one of these plants is called mullein or great mullien. There is a chance that marijuana has these same beneficial effects.

When it comes to tobbaco more has been found that the nicotine has more cancer causing aggents than the smoke itself. The proof is the simple fact that the most likely form of cancer a tobbaco smoker is to get is bladder cancer, then also mouth cancer, throat cancer, lung cancer and heart disease.

 

I watched something on YouTube about a study done that said there is no link between lung cancer and marijuana. It kind of cancels itself out. It would prevent it if it were not smoked, but because it is smoked its like a neutral effect. Now this does not mean the smoke is not bad for you, you can still get illnesses such as bronchitis, but it does not cause lung cancer.

 

THC can destroy certain types of lung tomurs. It's about 100 times worse for your lungs to drive your whole life, than smoke weed for your whole life. Yet I don't see anyone refusing to get in a car.
