    The 5x as bad of cigs is based on tar levels and other levels of carcinogens.


    If you take the ACTUAL results however of people smoking Marijuana, you find it is almost harmless. This is because unlike a cig Marijuana opens up the pockets in your lungs trapping much less material in them.

    In fact Marijuana users have a slightly lower chance of getting cancer then people who do not smoke anything at all.

    marijuana is very very safe. because nicotine in cigarettes is very addictive, some people will smoke up to 2 packs a day, thats 42 cigarettes a day! I smoke about 1 joint a week, so thats almost as much as i have in an entire year!!! if THC were as addicting as nicotine, I wouldn't smoke weed, but luckily THC is not physically or usually mentally addictive. Also, as someone else posted here, it opens up your airway passages, similar to how a cough drop works, so its alot easier for your lungs to clear out anything you have smoked, and it makes it easier to breath. Cigarettes close them up tighter making it harder to breath. If you smoke 1-2 joints a week you have absolutely nothing to worry about at all, trust me. Lance Armstrong could smoke 1-2 joints a week and still race his bike just as far, a marathon runner could run just as fast and far. So I hope this answers your question, marijuana is very safe
