Click. Bubble bubble filter filter draw AHHH. No cough.
You better have a damn fine level of damage documented before you use some generic X is bad and we should put people in jail for it.
I walk by the BBQ place and get a whiff of charcoal. Do we put them in jail?

Here's a couple.
Dec. 14, 2007 -- New research from Canada shows that some toxins may be more abundant in marijuana cigarettes than tobacco cigarettes.
The researchers burned 30 marijuana cigarettes and 30 tobacco cigarettes on a machine in their lab, measuring levels of chemicals in the smoke.
Ammonia levels were up to 20 times higher in marijuana smoke than in tobacco smoke. Levels of hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen-related chemicals were three to five times higher in marijuana smoke than in tobacco smoke.
The nitrogen-based fertilizer used on the marijuana plants -- which all came from the same batch of Canadian pot plants -- may have affected the results. The temperatures used to burn the cigarettes may also have been a factor.
Marijuana smoke and tobacco smoke shared many of the same chemicals. But the two types of smoke weren't identical.
For instance, marijuana doesn't contain nicotine. And tobacco doesn't contain cannabinoids, which include THC, marijuana's active ingredient
Tobacco has long been linked to cancer and other health problems. Marijuana smoke hasn't been tied to cancer in the past, note the researchers, who included David Moir, PhD, of the Safe Environments Programme in Kitchener, Ontario.

FRIDAY, June 19 (HealthDay News) -- The smoke from cannabis, the plant from which marijuana is derived, contains compounds that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer just like tobacco smoke, says a new study from the United Kingdom.
In laboratory tests, Rajinder Singh from the University of Leicester and colleagues found certain carcinogens in cannabis smoke in amounts 50 percent greater than those found in tobacco smoke. They noted that light cannabis use could possibly prove to be even more damaging because cannabis smokers usually inhale more deeply than cigarette smokers.
"The smoking of three to four cannabis cigarettes a day is associated with the same degree of damage to bronchial mucus membranes as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day," the researchers noted in a news release from the university.

#2: Research CBD
Actually, it reduces and/or cures (yeah, laugh, cures, go read a bit before responding, cancer).
https://www.google.c...=cbd+cures+cancer
No real life human studies (and they have many years of tracking) proved out any of the cancer predictions.
And then they found out CBD cures it. And in this case, possibly inhibits the start of it.
Keep reading though. Thanks for at least taking the interest.

Can't have anyone curing cancer now...
Curing Cancer would drop the bottom out of pharma that produces massive amounts of really expensive drugs.
You really think a grown plants is going to be able to be "allowed"... never.

Puhleeze
Go to a study and try to disprove it, don't point to a government / industry mouthpiece.
You might as well tell Gryg to trust the AMA on saturated fat issues.

Point to something specific for me to prove or disprove and
I will. This is the cancer subthread, so I assume that, right?

Pick your poison.
Scroll down and tell me where they're wrong.
Here's a direct link to the FAQ - http://cancer.gov/ca...bis/patient/page2
Or, if that's too conversational, click on the Health Professional Version tab and go to town - http://cancer.gov/ca...ealthprofessional
Let me know where they're wrong.
Hint: "In writing Cancer Information Summaries, PDQ Editorial Boards review current evidence. They do not make recommendations or develop guidelines. Their work is editorially independent of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This summary on Cannabis and cannabinoids does not represent a policy statement of NCI or NIH. The summary statement represents an independent review of the literature; that review is not influenced by NCI or any other federal agency."
HTH.
