The thread is about getting stoned idiot

Those are tears of laughter. Just sayin'.

Okay.

Marijuana contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke, and thus has the potential to cause cancer. However, Donald Tashkin, M.D., professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles, has found that marijuana use is not linked to an increase in lung, head or neck cancers. Tashkin surmises that this is due to a chemical within marijuana that kills off cells before they become cancerous.

Smoking marijuana may be more harmful to lungs than smoking cigarettes, study finds

The Māori ingenious people of New Zealand are the heaviest marijuana smokers in the world. They also have the highest rate of lung cancer in the world. They also don't use tobacco to any significant degree.

Marijuana also can result in a greatly increased chance of becoming bipolar from prolonged use

There have been numerous studies on the link between bipolar disorder and cannabis. These studies feature in a 2017 review from the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI).

The report found a link between cannabis use and the following health issues:

developing bipolar at an earlier age
longer or worse manic episodes
higher likelihood of suicide attempts
rapid cycling or quickly shifting from manic to depressive episodes
suicide ideation in people who were heavy users of THC
The report also highlighted a 2015 studyTrusted Source, which found that people with bipolar disorder who used cannabis were less likely to go into remission for their condition than those who did not.

Marijuana and Bipolar Symptom Worsening
There is some evidence connecting marijuana and bipolar symptom worsening.2 This research shows that cannabis use in people with psychosis is associated with an earlier onset of the first psychotic episode. It's also associated with manic symptoms and difficulty thinking.

It also has a heightened chance of causing schizophrenia and psychosis...

One thing that marijuana and schizophrenia have in common is psychosis. It isn’t a mental illness -- rather, it’s a symptom. When you have psychosis, your thoughts are disrupted in a way that makes it hard for you to tell what’s real and what’s not. You might see or hear things that aren’t there, or you might have strange thoughts that won’t go away. Psychosis is a symptom of schizophrenia.

Studies have found that when you’re high on marijuana, you can have psychotic symptoms.

Recent research suggests that smoking high-potency marijuana every day could increase the chances of developing psychosis by nearly five times compared to people who have never used marijuana.

It is also as dangerous as alcohol in terms of driving and DUI

Marijuana may impair judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time, and studies have found a direct relationship between blood THC concentration and impaired driving ability.7–9

Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in the blood of drivers who have been involved in vehicle crashes, including fatal ones.10 Two large European studies found that drivers with THC in their blood were roughly twice as likely to be culpable for a fatal crash than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol.
https://nida.nih.gov/publications/re...affect-driving

In recent years, drug-impaired driving has become a major highway safety issue. According to a NHTSA study, from 2007-2013 there was a 48% increase in weekend nighttime drivers who tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the chemical responsible for marijuana’s psychological effects.

So, to sum up. Regular, and in particular heavy, marijuana use will negatively affect your health and can result in cancer just like smoking. It is about as dangerous as driving drunk to drive high. It can cause you to develop mental illnesses like bipolar disease, psychosis, and schizophrenia. Thus, in its own way it is as dangerous to your well-being as alcohol and probably more so than smoking tobacco.

From your first article, did you read it?

“has found that marijuana use is not linked to an increase in lung, head or neck cancers. Tashkin surmises that this is due to a chemical within marijuana that kills off cells before they become cancerous.”

[Phantasmal]

Your articles also say “may be”, come back when you have studies that have definitive evidence of the cause.

[NiftyNiblick]

I haven't gotten really, up in the clouds stoned since a 1987 union convention in Miami.
The Fontainebleau Hotel had open air balconies, and it probably wasn't safe for me to be out on them.

Good times for a forty-year old going through the usual forty year old things.
After quitting cigarettes, however, I didn't want to smoke anything anymore lest I backtrack.

I haven't had a bong hit since 1977, but stoned posting is preferable to drunk posting
