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.
Fair enough , you won`t get emphysema. But it says 3 to 5 times worse , that means for every joint you`re basically causing the same damage as smoking 3 to 5 filterless cigarettes which makes the less frequent arguement pointless & was basically my arguement anyway.And thats not even taking account all the long term damage it does to the brain.

But hey if you want to smoke it , it`s up to you. Personally I don`t
