Is medical marijuana / cannabis smoke really dire for the health of our lungs? How does it affect our chances of contracting lung cancer? If you are curios, and would like to hear what Dr. Donald Tashkin, Professor of Pulmonology at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine has to say check out this video, it gives an exceptional synopsis of what he has established over numerous years of researching the effects of marijuana smoke on the lungs. Dr. Donald Tashkin has been a pioneer in this field. Anti-cannabis groups have tried to silence him however, like a true scientist; he reports his findings in the name of scientific truth. The video is a bit long… and a little dry, but it’s worth the time it takes to view.
Notwithstanding these findings, most physicians still recommend that medical marijuana patients do not smoke their medication and instead use vaporizers, edibles, and/or tinctures. It is clear from this study that the damage that smoking tobacco can cause is significant (which we all knew before anyway!) and it can be worsened if you also smoke marijuana.
