Weed is a known bronchodialator to the medical community. This being said it could be effective treatment to a person with Asthma as long as they vape, rather than smoke. Smoking deposits tar into the lungs. Because marijuana smoke is rarely filtered this can be up to 4 times as much tar by weight smoked than cigarette smoke deposits, this being said a tobacco smoker goes through 20-40 cigarettes a day while a stoner goes through 2-4 joints of the same weight per day. Marijuana smoke also causes temporary irritation, but it has no lasting effects. Marijuana does not increase your risk for cancer or COPD, let alone cause them unlike tobacco smoking and there are studies that conclusively prove this and disprove the myth and lie alleged by the negative Propaganda.
A marijuana cigarette has 7 times the tar content of a normal cigarette. On the other hand Mary Jane has been found to
NEVER cause cancer in the lungs although this dosent mean u cannot get mouth/throat cancer. Marijuanna consumption has never directly caused death while cigarettes on the other hand have quite a track record
Both are fundamentally harmful to the body if they're smoked as the hot air damages respiratory tissues. That superheated air damages the trachea and the lungs themselves and prolonged usage of both can lead to bronchitis, emphysema and the like.
Cigarettes have a carcinogenic substance in them that increases the likeliness of cancer (strengthening its chances with the hot air damages throat and lungs). While marijuana also has carcinogens - studies show tobacco smoke contains 50-70 percent more.
Marijuana's additional side effects include increased heart rate, negative effects on memory and learning ability. Additionally, it's cultivation, distribution is illegal in most U.S. jurisdictions.
All together both products have personal and social risks associated with them.
cigarettes...as far as i know theres no rat poison grown in marijuana. yes marijuana gets you stoned...cigarettes give you a buzz until you build a tolerance to them and that's where the addiction comes in. Marijuana is grown. dried. trimmed. cured. and smoked. Theres no chemical process that puts additives into it like cigarettes. Cigarettes are disgusting.
no

Nope
Snorting cocaine is significantly worse than smoking marijuana. If you do your research smoking marijuana over the age of 25 causes very little harm.
Me. and other people who think it's ridiculous how tobacco is a lot worse for your health than marijuana is.
Marijuana is always better than alcohol and cigarette smoking.
Some people hallucinate from just smoking marijuana, especially in larger amounts. Normally (but not always), this means that you have some pre-existing problem that marijuana is making worse.
alcohol tends to have a higher addiction rate and can be more harmful to the body
No, there BOTH equally horrible. Marijuana is illegal though and beer isn't. Also, you CAN drink beer and not have it be a bad thing. I'm a 6th grader and i took health, soo i would know anything about marijuana! it''s AWFUL STUFF!
Research suggests that marijuana may have a mixed impact on dementia. While some studies indicate that certain compounds in marijuana may have neuroprotective effects, others suggest that long-term use may worsen cognitive function in individuals with dementia. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between marijuana use and dementia.
Most likely 20 years or more unfortunately. Possession of marijuana is often punished worse than murder.
Alcohol is much worse.. i never killed anyone while i was high.............
