One of the biggest barriers to marijuana being widely accepted as medicine is the simple fact that most people prefer to smoke it than any other method of delivery. Many physicians argue that smoked cannabis is full of tar, CO2 and other irritants and even carcinogens – more than tobacco – and that no legitimate medicine is smoked. While it is true that smoking marijuana can irritate the lungs – it is also true that it DOES NOT cause cancer. Aside from that, there are two important things to remember about smoked cannabis. First, cannabis is full of essential oils and active chemical components that actually protect the lungs or mitigate the damage caused by smoking. Second, by using a vaporizer one can drastically reduce if not illuminate the potential risk for lung irritation. Vaporization heats the herb to a gaseous state without setting it on fire generating tars and CO2. This allows the medicine (cannabinoids, terpens and flavonoids) to be delivered in a clean and effective manner. Read this detailed article about research on vaporization.
