Marijuana is commonly thought to be "risk-free".. something that is now starting to be thought isn't the case.

Hardly.
Relative scare articles make their way into the wires every time some nation decides to take a fresh look at their drug laws. 'Leads to Pyschosis', 'Pot now 150% stronger!' 'Pot Leads to Pregnant Teens'.These articles never amount to anything other than closely worded sentences about the 'dangers', followed by a short contextualized remark about how other legal substances are far more dangerous.
It doesn't take a genius to assume a filter-less product that is incinerated and then inhaled will do damage to ones lungs. The difference is the lack of additive carcinogens and radioactive fertilizer found in commercial tobacco agriculture. One leads to mild lung irritation that stops when you stop doing the abusive behaviour, and the other leads to heightened risk of all types of cancers and diseases.
