Cannabis use has been reported to induce long-lasting psychotic disorders and a dose-response relationship has been observed. We performed a systematic review of studies that investigate the association between the degree of cannabis consumption and ...
You know there’s ton of ways that don’t involve smoking? Putting anything in your lungs that isn’t meant to be there will have negative side effects.
I have exercised induced asthma and dry herb vapes have been a life saver for me but I still recognize that I’m putting something in my lungs that doesn’t belong.
yeah the article he gives also is mainly about cannabis being hoter and held in. Sounds like its more about method than materials:
“Compared to tobacco smoking, cannabis is smoked with larger and more prolonged inhalations, causing barotraumas, at times. Since joints, spliffs, and blunts are usually smoked without a filter, the concentration of the particulates in the airways are 4 times higher than when tobacco alone is smoked. Additionally, cannabis smoke generates higher temperatures that modify the biochemical processes and production of many chemicals within the body”
Does it talk about volume, though? I don’t take a smoke break every few hours to smoke a full joint. My coworkers will have a cigarette every few hours, though.
not that I saw. seemed to be comparing effects of one inhalation. what got me is they are comparing a joint and other non filtered things to a filtered cigarette. Don’t get me wrong any type of inhaling things into the lungs is bad but im skeptical about tobacco being worse than cannabis.
yeah and besides limiting particulates they will also lower the heat the paper talks about. That leaves length of having it in the lungs but as you point out smokers smoke all the time. When a smoker takes the time to really enjoy a cig the way someone would with cannabis they hold it in longer too. Similarly folks that smoke bud contantly don’t hold it in all the time like that. They start smoking more like smokers. I not only doubt tobacco is better I feel like your more likely not to get additives with cannabis that might make it ever so slightly better. Again though inhaling things into the lungs is just not a good idea.

I agree. Even if we accept the smoking constraint, there’s paper filters, cotton filters, water filters…
