I think that's a bunch of lies made up to stop kids from doing "drugs", I'm pretty sure you get lung cancer from the tar that's in cigarettes, I'm pretty sure weed doesn't have any tar or any outside chemicals or ingredients, I could just pick some and smoketh it. All natural :O

It's pretty hard to say... however, you aren't putting a filter on your blunts I assume, and a crutch doesn't really filter any tar or bad stuff out, where a cigarette has a filter on it and that kind of reduces the bad stuff getting into your lungs. It's pretty certain that a blunt is worse for your lungs than a couple cigarettes. A blunt a day would definitely increase your risk, but if you start smoking cigarettes it's likely that your habit would end up being a pack a day or more which is way worse than a blunt a day. Not too much research has been done on the long term health of pot smokers' lungs.

wow okay if you smoke 1 blunt a day until 30 then id say your chances of getting lung cancer would be like .000009% chance. but thats just an average. dude its impossible to die from weed. you can only get it from the tar and carcinogens found in tobacco. so as long as you dont smoke ciggs your fine dude. ive been smoking an average of 2 blunts a day for the past 2 months and its been the best summer everrrr

Very low. No references, and i won't claim it has no tar or carcinogens (which is bullshit for anything that is burned...) But at 19... not a problem you need to worry about.
