Inhaling marijuana smoke is the fastest route to the blood stream. Research shows that inhaling marijuana smoke causes more harm to the lungs. Studies conducted in Australia show that 95% of the THC in marijuana is absorbed in the first few seconds of inhaling. Holding the smoke a little longer permits more tar and other harmful chemicals to be absorbed. Irritation of the throat and the lungs is one of the leading adverse effects that a marijuana smoker experiences with such process. Because of this, researches have found a way to turn around things. It is found that through vaporization, adverse effects of smoking marijuana will be reduced if not totally eliminated.

On Sunday, July 5th 2009, California state lawmakers passed a bill that would soon require medical marijuana (a common prescription for cancer sufferers) to now carry a label warning consumers of it’s cancer-causing potential.
This developed last month when environmental state regulators decided cannabis should be added to the official list of substances that may cause cancer. This will likely be displayed by warning labels on product packages from medical marijuana dispensaries and clubs.

In 1996, California voted to legalize cannabis for medicinal purposes of ailing patients who suffered from serious diseases such as AIDS, cancer and glaucoma. Various research points to the unique benefit cannabis brings in relieving the pay, nausea and “ill-effects” that are accompanied during the late stages of AIDS and cancer specifically.
This of course has raised arguments on both sides of the effects of medical marijuana. Though it is simply explained as if you were to take a piece of vegetable material, a leaf and burn it, it will contain the compounds that can cause cancer, not a surprise. It is hard to classify the tests that were done as they were performed with individuals who mixed cannabis and tobacco for this study. Making it inconclusive from my view.

This is not saying that medical marijuana is bad for you, but looking into smoke-free options that will prevent any carcinogens from harming you. Medical marijuana infused foods and vaporizers are a great alternative. It is never good to breathe smoke when it can be avoided.
