Two more scientific studies corroborate earlier findings indicating that smoking cannabis damages one's lungs far more than does smoking tobacco.
One study found a higher risk of lung cancer for those who smoked one joint a day compared with those who smoked 20 cigarettes a day over the same period.Another found bullous disease – a form of emphysema – occurs 20 years earlier in cannabis smokers.
The studies appear in Respirology and the European Respiratory Journal.
Cannabis use has been linked to serious physical and mental illnesses.

*How can 1 joint equal 20 sigg’s?
A quik calculation gives me: 3,5 joints equals 20 sigg’s. I can smoke 3 pounds of pot a year or nearly an ounce a week before I reach the cancer risk of a sigarette smoker. I don’t know anyone that smokes that much.
We can hardly expect this to become an epidemic.
How did these researchers ever pass their math exams?
