Second, as I said, there are other ways of smoking pot. It doesn't have to be in a joint.

Third, it's going to depend on the grower. Most carcinogens are actually from the chemicals used to treat the plants, no? So what's the difference between naturally grown pot and pot grown in a hydroponics operation? Did they even consider that?

Fourth, there are other health benefits to pot. Cigarettes really have none. I've never heard of a doctor prescribing a pack of cigarettes a day to a person, but they certainly prescribe pot to them. I'm concerned that pot as a medicinal substance will be banned due to these findings.

So what does this mean? Get a vapourizer people!
That isnt true actually, there are benefits but they dont outwiegh the negative effects.
