Think a Joint Isn’t Harmful? Think Again.

New Zealand researchers have found that smoking a single marijuana joint is as carcinogenic to the lungs as 20 cigarettes.  They reported this in the European Respiratory Journal.  Regular indulgence (one joint a day for 10 years) had a 5.7 times higher lung cancer risk than nonsmokers.  The findings are not surprising; smoke from cannabis contains more carcinogens and is inhaled more deeply than cigarette smoke.  However, there is bound to be some dispute about the findings – the medical marijuana lobby is strong and usually able to find protagonists who strongly deny that the weed causes cancer.
