I don't want to repeat myself, but you really oughta change your posting style a bit to be more constructive, everywhere you go you make these kinda replies and it's getting kinda tiresome.

the first link cited a large number of studies...

All the reports against these types of studies must be false then I guess. Its a never ending arguement as these studies say these things but theres no proof of its existance as far as I know, I havent heard of anyone experiencing these problems from a long term relationship with this illicit drug called marijuana.
 
there are lots of real risks associated with smoking marijuana, as there is with smoking ANYTHING. of course smoke isn't good for your lungs. Even if there is less risk of getting cancer from marijuana smoke than tobacco, there's still the risk.

There are quite a lot of people who do forget the risks of long-term use, or discount them... dangers shouldn't be ignored.

I was takin upon by this study that they was referring to risks involved with pot that aren't involved with smoking just anything. Of course Ive always said what you guys say, but I guess Im just not thinking quite the same anymore 8(

webmd didnt conduct the study, just reported on it. but yeah, like i said, its my feeling that you wont develop lung cancer from smoking marijuana. however, that doesn't me you dont have to worry about other respiratory problems like emphysema, bronchitus, infections and restrictive lung disease. they are what i am most concerned about.
 
in either case, a lot more longitudinal studies are going to have to be held in order to determine the real effects of marijuana smoking in the long run.
 
yup, we need more longitudinal studies. another problem is that lung damage is rather difficult to assess. a simple lung function test or x-ray can easily miss serious problems. what is needed is a high resolution ct scan and a bronchioscopy, both highly expensive procedures.
 
I didnt read the whole article so sorry if im off, but i dont see how anyone can argue that smoking marijuana is not going to be harmful for your lungs AT ALL. I mean come on, your breathing SMOKE into your lungs, its not exactly good for you, theres no point pretending that weed is a harmless drug. Even most drinkers will admit there drug of choice is doing them damage.
 
i wanna see a study where it shows marijuana smoke is more harmful amongst other types of smoke. I mean, marijuana supposedly has use in the medical field so some people must see it as being useful.
 
Assuming all smoke damages the lungs or that smoke should not be inhaled is a highly ethnocentric view point.
 
If you want long-term studies, look at Jamaicans who smoke all their lives. In the 70's, this was a primary source of information for surveyors who wished to look into the effects of cannabis.

As previously mentioned, ANY smoke is harmful, but there are such things as rates of damage, recovery, and basically how much of an effect a specific test item has on your lungs. An example of this was done in a test between clove cigarettes and regular cigarettes, where suprisingly the damage was not only less from the clove cigarettes in comparison, but the carboxyhemoglobin levels fell faster as well. I'm surprised this method hasn't been adapted into an in-depth study on cannabis.

To be blunt, cannabis poses no long-term lung damage/cancer risks. In fact, THC is known to protect against cancer.

^i'm sorry but how is that ethnocentric?

Because many cultures see smoke as something good and required to take in as much as food or water.
 
^any studies to back that up? i'v already argued that point but apparently its not proven

and to be frank, of course it will damage your lungs, its hot and dry smoke, and lungs are designed for warm and moist air

but as to whether there are affects which aren't purely physical (as in caused by the chemicals not the heat etc.) i would like to know
