I've been smoking roughly 3 times a day now and I thought that was a bit much so I thought id look into weed and its lethal effects more. Now, I know no one has ever died from an overdose or anything like that, however if you were to smoke only ganj and not any tobacco or anything like that, could you get cancer? This is what I found.
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years.
Is this more false propaganda from anti-weed websites or is there some truth to this? Fact Sheet - MARIJUANA is my source.
Only wondering because everything i've ever heard goes against what these sites say.
