I supposed if you smoke pot everyday it would increase... But in general smoking pot once in a while would not increase your risk, at least not by anything even worrying about.

I agree with Rebekkah Lynn because if it is smoked and inhaled, then it is a cancer risk.

it depends how you smoke it, it is when you smoke from a joint, when smoking from a bong, the risks are ALOT lower, and from a vaporizor, its totally risk free cuz its not smoke, its water vapor made of pure THC:) yummy:D

In clinical studies that will be made known once marijuana in commercially legal, marijuana in an extremely cleansing herb for the lungs. It's shown that tobacco smokers are far less likely to develop cancer if they are smoking marijuana in conjunction, and their life span expectancy increases dramatically. A non-smoker of marijuana is not at risk of lung cancer any more than a user. Unfortunately, there is a small tar intake when smoking that health nuts like to watch out for-- bottom line, get a vaporizer. The marijuana is heated until just before combustion, and natural vapors are released. You can get the same effect with any sized hookah pipe, when used properly with a coal. No smoke, no tar, no risk.
