! Smoking Cannabis Does Not Cause Cancer !
The onus is on those who say cannabis doesn't cause cancer, i.e., the claim maker. That means it's up to you to prove your claim, not others to disprove your claim. If I made a claim stating cannabis does cause cancer the onus would be on me.There isn't a single study out there that can prove a link.
Please provide sufficient proof and evidence of said claim, with many unbiased peer reviewed and published studies.
When you smoke cannabis, you ARE inhaling known carcinogens- PAHs at least, there may be others.
Of course that is different than stating "Cannabis causes cancer", but it's still a fact, like it or not...
If you mix bleach and ammonia you make mustard gas and will kill yourself. If you use only one product at a time you can clean your house to a sparkling shine.
The potentially carcinogenic elements you fear MUST be neutralized by cannabis and the human body OR cannabis smokers would contract cancer.
SINCE cannabis smokers are NOT contracting cancer; smoking cannabis DOES NOT cause cancer.

The only fact we can state at this time, is there is not enough evidence on either side, for anyone to make a definitive claim.
I think you have that quite backwards. In science, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.spurr said:The onus is on those who say cannabis doesn't cause cancer, i.e., the claim maker.

At this point, it is an extraordinary claim to say that there is any kind of link between cannabis smoking and cancer. As I said before, the prohibitionists have been desperately trying to prove it and they keep on failing.
That's a red herring, even though I know you meant no harm. Comparing cannabis to tobacco is a red herring because we are discussing cannabis and cancer; not tobacco and cancer and how much worse it might be than cannabis, as means to "prove" smoking cannabis isn't 'harmful'.What we can state definitively today is that the risk of getting cancer from cannabis use alone is drastically less than tobacco use, possibly to the point of zero risk. It is so drastically less that I can't see why anyone would bother to worry unless they had other contributory health issues.
Onus of proof is on the claim maker, no matter how extraordinary or plain-Jane-ordinary the claim.
The only extraordinary claim herein, is that anyone knows anything as a fact, at this point.

^Of course he means smoking, but I have always wondered the same thing. It's one of the reasons my volcano has been packed away in the closet for a couple years. I just use my bong. I recall one time in particular when I had a cold but wanted a smoke.
I packed a vape bowl thinking it would be nice and easy. When I hit it I felt like someone was ripping my lungs out. My throat was on fire and I couldn't finish the volcano bag. When I loaded up a bong and took a small rip though, hardly anything. In fact It really made me realize how much harsher it was that just smoking. I don't understand it.
back on topic...
Your body is constantly developing cancer. It's when your immunities are lowered from eating garbage foods (meat) and being unhealthy that you cannot fight off that cancer and you develop tumors.
I believe smoking burning plant material increases your risk, but not anymore then smoking any other dried plant. And nowhere near as much as smoking things like tobacco.
how come herbivore's are not effected by thc but carnivore's are? A deer can eat the plant and not feel a thing, but dogs get floored.
can we get back to cannabis and cancer? Pretty please?!
