All parts of the tobacco plant is toxic. The stems and the roots (the hurds) of the marijuana plant are highly toxic if taken internally. The flowers and the leaves of marijuana are not toxic, but mold which grows on marijuana (marijuana is highly subject to mold) is dangerous to anyone with a compromised immune system, or someone with an infection such as the flu. Not all of he mold that grows on the plant is burnt when marijuana is smoked. The heat from the flame causes a 'heat plume'.
Mold spores are very small. Some of these spores will be carried by in the heat plume and enter the lungs. Medical marijuana patients require that the plant be grown in mold free building's, and that the medicine be heated to 150 degrees in a special oven for 20 min. before they can use it. This insures that any remaining spores are killed. Medical marijuana must be grown without pesticides, fungicides, chemicals, be free of insects, and bird feces (marijuana which is grown outside is subject to bird feces).
Resource - I had been a medical marijuana patient for epilepsy.
'Street' marijuana is harmful because it contains a lot of impurities and a lot of THC. Medical marijuana does not contain a lot of THC. Medical marijuana is not supposed to make people high. It treats your condition so that you can function normally. Stoned is not a drug. If you choose to enjoy being high, go ahead. It is not, however medicine. You can buy medical marijuana. The strains are matched for your medical condition. For more information on medical marijuana see the website Americans for Safe Access Now. This website is devoted entirely to medical marijuana.

∙ 13y agoOne "joint" of marijuana has more cancer causing chemicals then one cigarette. But the difference is that marijuana also contains a chemical that helps prevent the growth of cancer. Marijuana has been proven that it does not cause lung cancer. ---
Marijuana was added to the Proposition 65 List of Chemicals known to the State of California to cause CANCER on June 19, 2009.
Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more cancer-causing chemicals than tobacco smoke.
Many of the newer, stronger "designer" varieties have not been tested -- but hey, they're stronger -- figure it out yourself...

∙ 14y agoSmoking marijuana is not as bad as smoking cigarettes. You cant get cancer, or cant shorten youre life, one of my friends grandfather is 86 he has been smoking weed for 58 years. It is true that it kills youre brain cells and it messes with your memory but the only way for you to die on weed is if you drive, or anything similar to that.
Actualy the government is now admiting that it dosent kill brain cells

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely not. Marijuana is not mixed with different chemicals like cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT.
Nicotine is highly addictive. Smoke containing nicotine is inhaled into the lungs, and the nicotine reaches your brain in just six seconds. Marijuana, on the other hand, does contain around 400 chemicals, all of which are naturally created... Around 60 to 70 cannabinoid chemicals are among these 400. Cannabinoids have been found to be a remedy for a lot of diseases and illnesses including M.S, anorexia, skin cancer... etc... Among these cannabanoid's we include the main ingredient, THC(delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the active ingredient that makes you "high". There has not been a single case of death caused my marijuana in the history of man. Look up how many people die from cigs yearly in the U.S.A... I think this will help you.
