You know, just like any other cigarette. Pot smokers have long been convinced that pot is “natural” and tobacco is made in laboratories from concentrated death and nerve gas thus they were immune to the ill effects of inhaling smoke into their lungs, you know because pot is a magical healing plant or something.
SAN FRANCISCO – Marijuana smoke has joined tobacco smoke and hundreds of other chemicals on a list of substances California regulators say cause cancer.
The ruling Friday by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment likely will force pot shops with 10 or more employees to post warnings. Final guidelines are expected by the time warning requirements take effect in a year.
The listing only applies to marijuana smoke, not the plant itself.
Spokesman Sam Delson says the state agency found marijuana smoke contains 33 of the same harmful chemicals as tobacco smoke.
Delson says the findings came from a review of more than 30 scientific papers.
California’s Proposition 65 requires businesses to warn consumers of chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive harm.
It’s got to hurt the hippies when it’s weed friendly San Francisco harshing their mellow. C’mon San Fran, we thought you were cool.
h/t Jawa Report.
Everybody should have already known this. Smoking just about anything is carcinogenic.
I would be much more surprised if I found out that non smoked marijuana products, like hash brownies, honey oil, or topical salves caused cancer. The tobacco equivalents, chewing tobacco, dip or snuff, are extremely carcinogenic. This is why potheads, or really anyone and everyone, should think of tobacco as concentrated death.
The marijuana products I listed actually fight certain forms of cancer, limiting or arresting tumor growth and increasing apoptosis, magic or not, it certainly is a healing plant.
Please link to a study from a scientific authority that claims pot “heals” cancer. Tobacco has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years, your labeling it “concetrated death” is just the kind of prudishness you’re accusing me of. I suppose that tobacco shouldn’t be available to people who want it (despite the fact that people who smoke don’t have their behavior or perceptions altered) but stoner should be able to get high wherever they flop down?
