I think any kind of smoking will give you lung cancer.

[useurbrain]

Probably, especially since there are no filters on joints...I would think MORE smoke would be ingested in your lungs than that of cigarettes with filters. Bottom line, smoking of any kind is not good for you.

[Xero]

Smoking anything at all is not good for you especially if you smoke a lot of it. So I would say it's a good chance that if your smoking for long periods of time it's possible that you can get some type of cancer.

if smoking weed give u lung cancer uncle Sam would have use that to their advantage..what dose that tell you

[turbo_sage]

Hasn't been proven conclusively. You can avoid any possible risk altogether by learning the art of baking hash cookies. The safest way to smoke weed is to use a bong with a front chamber - it filters out the nastiest stuff. Avoid joints without filters and never use pipes or beer-can bongs.

Keep up with your bong habits. blunts are way more worse for you than a good bong with clean water.And make sure your smoking on some good Chronic. None of that nasty bammer stress weed. It has all kinds of crap in it that could probably give you all kinds of cancer and such including a nasty headache.Blaze 1 for me would ya.

any kind of smoking or second hand smoke can cause lung cancer.

yes, my friend is 22 and he was just diagnosed. He smokes pot, no cigs and they gave him 6 months to live because it spread already.now he takes it as tea to try to combat it. It gets him even higher than it did when he used to smoke it. He now wishes he just taken it as tea.

I don't think its been proven yet, BUT, any sort of smoke isnt the best for you.You have to figure, though, even if the know it alls of the world say smoking a joint is equal to 5 cigs, you'd have to smoke 4 joints every day to be at the same lung cancer risk as the average smoker. Sorry, but if you gave me 4 joints every day, the herb would get a little boring, IMO.Positives of herb smoke are that they have far fewer chemicals than tobacco and less tar that gets in your lungs.Negatives are the unfiltered joints, and the bleach/other chemicals in the wrapping paper.So...I'd keep with the bong if I were you...and if you want to be real safe, go for some leary biscuits (look it up on google)

anything that burns turns into carbon and is carcinogenic

[Guy]

some of you are getting too technical. you cannot get cancer from weed. but weed is still very much present in the list of harmful substances.
