Realistically. It's about what YOU really believe, all pro or anti lobbying aside.

I think it depends on how you smoke your weed. Blunts are obviously worse than a water filtered bong.

I've came across quite a few articles which claim beneficial effects to marijuana smoke.

Inhaling burnt plant matter, in general, is unhealthy.




Vaporizing, on the other hand, is not.

If you vaporize wrong, you are still inhaling lungfulls of oven-hot air, which probably isn't good even with no drug involvement.

What I consider important is total consumption.

The AVERAGE tobacco smoker smokes one pack a day, thats 20x 0.75gr = 15 grams of burnt plant matter each day.

The Average marijuana smoker smokes one-tenth of this a week, and it takes a dedicated stoner to smoke 1/8oz of quality weed a day.

So in grammage the average smoker smokes 105gr a week while the average marijuana smoker smokes 1.5gr in the same time period, and a dedicated stoner still is under 1 ounce.

Have 1000 people smoke a pack a day and 1000 people smoke 15 grams of strong weed a day and let a decade pass. The tobacco people likely will have more deaths, but i think average health among the weed smokers of that quantity would be worse.

Blunts are too harsh for me. I'm an asthmatic smoker and I'm allergic to smoke and ....basically.... life. My lungs get congested really bad and I wheeze the whole day. Joints and pipes aren't bad. Bongs with ice cold water feels the best. I have a vape, but it's weird. The vapor makes me wheeze in a different way. It's not harsh like a blunt, but it feels like I have a little something to cough up all the time and no matter what, I can't get it.

I put Neutral because the effects of wheeziness goes away shortly after I smoke. I'm fine the next day.

Wow, so many people have said detrimental.  I almost said beneficial but decided on neutral.  I have never experienced anything detrimental to my lungs from smoking the herb and I having been doing so every day for about a year and a half and on and off before that.  I haven't been smoking long enough to say for sure, but I'm willing to bet that my lungs will always be just fine.

unlike most voters I chose that smoking that much weed is worse for your overall health than smoking cigarettes. Smoking that much weed every day most likely results in you doing nothing every day. This will probably result in psychological problems which can result in bad physical health due to lack of motivation for exercising or eating healthy.

It is pretty hard to vaporize wrong with a vaporizer.

I've been smoking 7 years and for the past two I can smoke up to 5 grams daily if I really felt like it

My lungs are healthy as can be. I find it easier to exercise after I smoke because my lungs are opened up after I vape

It depends how you smoke.

I've been smoking for 7 years daily besides a few times I took tolerance breaks.

I am what you probably call a Chronic Smoker

I have experienced no lung problems
I don't cough up shit
I don't have a shortness of breath
I can exercise even better than I did than I was younger

So I'm going to have to say neutral.

I'm the only one so far that chose beneficial. I've always heard pot is good for asthma.

Realistically i think there are A LOT more factors than just smoking.  There are so many things in the air i breath here in the US that are dangerous and cancerous too.  But realistically i think 10 years of heavy weed smoking and then not smoking weed ever again... i think its neutral.  I can stop smoking pot when ever i want, but cig smokers cannot do it.  The addiction potential makes them very different to compare.  Its like comparing coffee and cocaine.

10 years of cig smoking vs. 10 years of pot smoking

Pot wins by the long shot.

Tobacco is a no contest. Doesn't matter how much weed you smoke, it is pretty damn safe regardless of how much you smoke.

I agree Stefan! I smoked a gram a day and got nowhere in my abuse years.

Then theres factors of munchies-obesity and elevated heart rate for a decade, in the susceptible.


And yes, weed opens your airways, but that also means the tars and toxins of the smoke penetrate deeper into the bronchi. If people want their airways opened, how about a tictac? :yesnod:

Vaporizers and bongs FTW!

I've been smoking weed daily for like the last 6+ years and I can't tell much of a difference in my lungs. It never feels like I'm getting short on breath any quicker than I did 6 years ago. I never cough up black shit or anything from my lungs. :shrug: (I don't smoke cigs by the way)

I played soccer for my state, my high school team and my regoin 2 (midwest) team.  long story short i played a lot of competitive soccer my life.  I was stoned for all my home highschool games.  I was a daily smoker when playing all over the US.  I never noticed a difference.  I still go out and run today in my post-soccer days.  Still don't notice a difference...  I also don't smoke tobacco.  Cannabis has done no noticeable harm to me (physically):shrug:  Weed makes me a lazy fucker tho:lol:

you won't get lung cancer, but your lungs still fill up with tar, I can actually feel that I have it in mine, but I smoke about 7 grams per day if not more, used to be a tobacco smoker and smoked two packs a day but quit due to health issues, some of which are coming back now due to all the pot smoke.

End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

It would obviously be detrimental. I also think 2.5g of pot a day would be worse because of all the tar and resin and the smoke is unfiltered.

I dont see how water is filtering anything more than ash, you see more tar 
buildup in a standard pipe than bongs, I just dont perceive any actual
filtering with a bunch of smoke filled bubbles... a little cooling maybe

there's also a lot of articles on the benefits of smoking cigarettes
