inhaling any form of smoke, whether cannabis, tobacco or even from your fire can cause cancer.
Really? huh.

Yes, almost all combustible matter produces
carcinogens when burned.

The carcinogens in Cannabis smoke are neutralized by the cannabinoids which has anticarcinogenic properties.There is no direct link that someone ever died of lung cancer caused by smoking Cannabis.

Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens.
Turner, Carlton E. The Marijuana Controversy. Rockville: American Council for Drug Education, 1981.
Nahas, Gabriel G. and Nicholas A. Pace. Letter. “Marijuana as Chemotherapy Aid Poses Hazards.” New York Times 4 December 1993: A20.
These are the worst scientists you ever can imagine.Both were working for the US government.Turner was drug czar during the Reagan administration and the researches of Gabriel Nahas are fraudulence.Gabriel was using gas masks on monkeys to show that cannabis smoke was causing brain damage, but the brain damage was caused by carbon monoxide because the monkeys didn't get any oxygen to breath.

true, but both anti-carcinogens and carcinogens aren't going to counter one another directly, so i'd suggest everyone just beware of the risks, alongside all the benefits.
exactly what i was trying to say a few pages back. wonderful though mj is, to argue that smoking it is harmless is a bit of a stretch.

You forget the endocannabinoid system in humans.

i cant smoke joints without a filter now as they just about make me puke.

I smoke with tobacco, not because i prefer it, but because i can't afford to smoke it pure. In an ideal world i wouldn't smoke it with tobacco, but the supply i have access to doesn't meet my demand, therefore making it far too expensive. If i were to smoke the weed i buy (£10/g) pure, that'd be about £10 ($16) a joint. i can't afford that, which is a reason why i'm growing.
... why are you not mixing with it?
