I'l say we agree that there's really no definitive answer and we should just say fuck it and smoke a bowl

wish i could, but don't have any right now 
i'd imagine it would matter what type of pot you smoke in whether it causes cancer too. like shitty weed that has a very low amount of thc wouldn't surprise me compared to medical grade.
also interesting is that in the 19th century in America smoked pot was used to treat asthma and clinical studies over the past few years have found it helpful
Quote:
Clinical research shows that THC acts as a bronchial dilator, clearing blocked air passageways and allowing free breathing.[2], [3] In one study, marijuana, “caused an immediate reversal of exercise-induced asthma and hyperinflation.”[4] Numerous cases of asthma have been treated successfully with both natural and synthetic THC. In one report, a young woman used marijuana with her doctor’s approval. Over the course of several years her attacks were almost completely cured with low doses of inhaled cannabis smoke.[5]
http://www.cannabismd.net/asthma/ but other research contradicts that so i guess it's not definitive there
and the study you linked has shown there to be precancerous changes which make sense because of all the tar and carcinogens, but the thc and cannabinoids will program those precancerous cells to die by activating a certain chemical before they turn cancerous which is why it says
Quote:
No relationship between marijuana smoking and diagnosis of lung cancer.
and it says
Quote:
Limited evidence of higher use of marijuana in younger patients with lung cancer
limited evidence and it's not proven. and if you go by the dr.tashkin study where one group of daily smokers have smoked at least 20,000 times, it's probably not true.
also
Quote:
A small case series (n = 10) reported respiratory tract malignancy in association with marijuana smoking; however, this report did not control for tobacco smoking.32
that refers to the study you posted on the previous page in sciencedaily which makes it even further flawed.

also the dna-marijuana link you posted above, the headline is false the journal actually says
Quote:
[T]hese results provide evidence for the DNA damaging potential of cannabis smoke, implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development.”
http://blog.norml.org/2009/06/17/fox-news-infected-with-reefer-madness/
so it's a possibility but it hasn't been proven.
also it was funded by health canada, which is a department of the government, so i'd be skeptical.

You guys think cannabis will ever be rolled with filters. I mean cigarettes were filterless for decades till they started introducing them in the 50's and 60's. I am pretty sure it would weaken the strength just like it does with tobacco. But it could be way healthier.

I think we shouldn't think on it too much. Just smoke on it.
