There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.


seriously, lets not start another discussion on this, if you really want to debate, ill open up the legalization thread again.
