- On a puff-by-puff basis, cannabis smoke deposits four times more tar in the lungs than tobacco, but does this translate into increased cancer risk?

Edibles are healthier because your not burning your throat and lungs.

Can you do a video on vaping weed instead of smoking it?
He did do a video on this already.
bruhhh...
**slams his bloateye**
**drives down to h2oi**
**gets pulled over by ocpd**
**rolls down window, huge vape™ cloud**
Oh sorry I must've missed that then.
@@BornGam3r all good, I'm just too lazy to pick it up right now :)
Scott Gabelman Thanks. I’m aware that vaping is of course not healthy, but am interested to see the health differences between smoking and vaping weed.
One day cannabis will be sold in a can called can of bliss :)
Chef Boyard-Bliss
A Canadian medical company sells a strain they’ve named “Cannabliss”. Close enough? ;)
Vegan Walk shh it’s time for bed
Like Glory Greens 😂😂😂
It is a reality in Canada now. I can buy a THC infused soda (Bubble Kush Root Beer) for $5.
thank you this video helped a lot ive been trying to quit smoking weed and have been concerned about my lungs
Bro facts😂
Simple answer: No
Scaxed ty!!!!!!
thanks, i didn't want to watch the video
Thank you now I don't have to lost 4 minutes in my life!
@@wotny7771 This video has been on my 'watch later' playlist for nearly a year. Finally, I've given in.
@@xaviersb2480 haha
I haven't taken any bong hits today yet, until.... now. Thank you so much for your great work, doc.
Thanks for this vid!
This video is in (and has been for a long time) my "watch later" list so I'll watch it later.
That's it dr gregor! Keep us on a knife edge! But don't make us wait too long!!! 👍😉
Oh man, you left us with a cliff-hanger Dr! When is the next part of the video?
hell yeah dude. it became legal in California around the same time. let's just say. life's been good 😎
Great information
Damn Dr.Greger hitting us with those mad cliffhangers!
It makes music sound better.
I just lagh whenever im listening to music and im high
Ronniieeeeeee!! Haha i know you from fb 🙏
Being a cannabis consuming vegan is the best thing I ever did for myself.
@Ranin Zadviylet try psilocybin it helped me
@Ranin Zadviylet why? Ran out of weed! 😂
Micro dose is love
@@dighyfveirfuveifbuv4420 yes microdosing is so empowering and makes you in a very good mood, just do it consciously and everything's gonna be alright
where do you get psilocybin?
Oh come on, how can you do that! Spit the information already! 😩😩😩😩
Great video as always 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
you also have to look at the method it's Smoked by. a lot of marijuana users smoke it in papers or tobacco leaves blunt so that should have been part of the study as well if it wasn't.
Controlling for tobacco was mentioned.
thanks for paying attention to detail and letting me know that was added in the video I appreciate it
Good to know!!
Yeah, smoking marijuana AND cigarettes is bad for you.
Vape, cleaner, smells way less bad. If thats ur thing. Personally i like staying clear. Big muscle pump is better than a downer buzz.
@Hellstormkj64 999 🤣🤣🤣🤣maybe your just a freak🤔🤣🤣🤣ruined your life....funny shit
@@Nonogrow420 moron
@Hellstormkj64 999 lmao weed doesn't give u schizophrenia to get schizophrenia u must have the specific brain type to be predisposed to it so u were always fucked up in the head weed just made it happen quicker than it would have taken naturally
Broto theWilliams @the no-no grow
Grow up kids and do research .
How are you gonna laugh at someone who got schitzo?
And FYI it’s true, you can developer such things from weed. Everyone reacts differently from substances .
Edibles are 100000 healthier
@Marx was right are you sure
What about Rick Simpson's oil? (Not actually an oil BTW, but a THC extract.) I use that just about everyday.
Wow thanks for leaving me hanging lol I’m a long term heavy user and I try to vape when I can, I can’t get my calories to make gains otherwise ... I eat plant based I try to eat as whole as possible and as many lentils as possible lol
PLEASE do something on vaping. Is it harmful?
My dad is a dr and has done many x Ray on patients who smoked both weed an tobacco and the ones who only smoked weed lungs were far less damaged then a cigarette smokers only issue with pot is people hold it in longer but even with that it is not as harmful as smoking cigarettes and most likely you would not get lung cancer from weed but may just naturally get cancer in the long run it does happen
Tobacco causes cancer, and is super poisonous no matter how it's taken. People get mouth cancer from chewing tobacco, sinus cancer if snorted (snuff) and if eaten it can easily be fatal. It can actually be used to commit suicide, which is really why it's no longer allowed in prisons.
Cancer is mostly a genetically caused disease
Naturally get cancer from what? From the weed? Or just cancer like throat cancer because it run in the family?
@@adventurous_bri Cancer can happen from pretty much everything if it damages your cells constantly, slowly and steady. You can get lung cancer from inhaling pollution, or skin cancer from being out in the sun
@@adventurous_briCancer if you live long enough will eventually get you. As you age your cells become worse at replicating correctly until one day one fails to die and replicate correctly and goes on a rampage tearing through your body.
Please put part 2 soon, Doctor G.
My dad has terminal stage 4 prostate cancer and is facing chemo right now.
He really doesn't want to take it, but might be persuaded to try cannabis to complement his 'quality of life' regimen.
I hope your dad is doing great 😊
Prayer's to your family
I hope your Dad gets better
Much love to your family and I hope your dad found something that makes him feel better in any way
When is Dr.Greger gonna put it to the test -_- !
My take away: No differences in longevity outcomes for cancer risk for smoking cannabis provided they don't also smoke cigs :-)
why don't you do a video on CBD versus THC
dang cliffhanger to the video. good one though.
I feel better smoking weed now thank you Dr Gregor
We still have to put it to the test tho!
@so the answers is no?
@Mojo Jojo wait a minute wasn't it only shown to be unhealthy to the hypothalamus in children with growing brains? Clearly this video makes lead us to believe that it could be a wash, in that the bad is negated by the good. Specifically how may it be bad and where is your source? I do recall a video saying there may be dependency issues. but that alone doesn't necessarily make something bad, there's dependency issues with drinking coffee as well but it's also been shown to potentially extend life or at least decrease mortality rates. And coffee adds to quality of life, so maybe the same could apply here? Clearly smoking cigarettes is bad and smoking marijuana doesn't seem ideal but if it's a wash what else is there saying not to do it or at least consider doing it in other ways, edibles?
The hypothalamus is hardly an obvious reason. It affects adults in the same way, adults may just be resilient whereas teenagers may not be. The point being though was these were the only down sides I recall from previous reasons (and ammonia in vaping) hence my question. What are the unhealthy reasons? What are the "clear as day reasons," scientifically? I'm just curious if there is something other than "obvious", "unnecessary" and "clear as day" you can say. I mean, eating cashew ice cream could be deemed clearly unhealthy for obvious reasons and therefore unnecessary, but it is enjoyable. Maybe the enjoyment is all the necessity needed and in and of it's self enough justification and potentially making healthy? I am curious what you have to say since you've said what you said thus far without really saying anything. I could easily demean marijuana. But, before I do I would like to know more "objectively" obvious reasons because my opinion may be skewed. After all, we love Dr. G not just because what he has to say but really because of his empirical way.
really? when I used to I was always the most productive and motivated worker, (evidenced over the course of progressive advancement, praise, accomplishments, etc...) but I waited until after work to do it. I mean, anything can get in the way of work, that doesn't make the thing bad, that makes one's work ethic bad, delay the gratification and use it as motivation. Don't falsely attribute it to the cause when the cause was lack of discipline.
I do believe how much smoke and harsh it is may play a role…. Actual flower (buds) seems to contain more tar as opposed to pure thc/Cbd concentrate… as long as you are smoking softly/easily and not coughing every time you puff, you should be fine….but remember! NO SMOKE SHOULD BE IN OUR BODIES, PERIOD! Be warned !
What's the word on edibles?
What about hemp? Juicing the leaves? Hemp tea? Hemp seeds are obviously healthy but the rest of the plant?
Why don't just use dry herb vapourizers? You eliminate all tar, carbon monoxide and carcinogens generated by the combustion. And you don't burn away 30% of the THC and CBD content. And it is also very discrete without any strong odours.
Snoop Dogg: smokes 81 blunts a day
Snoop Dogg watches this vid: hold my beer
Jackson Foster *hold my blunt
It's all about the edibles man
i Do agree , and you consume less with Edible , so less money and more high
This argument is based on one joint versus one pack of cigarettes so if someone smoked as much weed as a normal tobacco smoker smoke cigarettes would they still be immune for cancer?
''too bad you'll never be rad.''
Filthy Frank
if wiz and snoopp haven’t gotten lung cancer then it’s no 💀💯
j kush23 wiz had to stop smoking blunts bc the doctor told him to so if he does it could be linked to his heavy blunt use in the past but that’s if. Considering snoop hasn’t I’m sure he won’t
So what is the conclusion anybody tell me , hello captain
So basically smoke joints, bongs or glass pipes. Don’t smoke blunts cuz that’s just wrapping ur weed in tar.
Charlie Aguilar they all bad
It's like watching a soap opera... So many twists and turns!
Thank you for posting the cannabis videos. Re: water filtration, they need to test the temperature of the vapor, which is reduced or buffered with the thermal mass of water. Makes a big difference on the vapors condensation on/in your tissues.
Smoke anything for years you will have significant trouble breathing I am dealing with this now.
You mentioned heavy long time use in both cannabis and cigarettes. Interesting.. Most of the research I have read has on been on the effects of heavy smoking (1,2 and 3 packs a day) and some research has shown that there have been no cases of cancer to anyone who smoke less that 10 cigarettes a day. Not sure if this is true or not. But interesting none the less. With so much mixed information out there it's so hard to make an informed decision on basically anything these days. One part of me says F&&k it and live it up while the other says no play smart and try to live a long life (with no guarantees) Yes even those health nuts out there get cancer. What is a girl to do? Thanks for listening. Cheers Shanell
Studies show more Ive seen that smoking 1 cigarette a day gives you the 50% increase and anything after that really makes up 10%
You got an angel and a devil on your shoulder one eye pointing up to heaven one eye pointing down to hell, stop blinding yourself you can enjoy life plenty sober
Thank god and myself that I quit tobacco
what a rollercoaster lol one minute im never smoking weed again the next I'm gonna smoke more, then back to never again and on and on Lol weeeooooh
Cannabis is love ❤
Cancer and death is love 💜
That was unexpected..!
Please, do NOT divide videos with such important information. The purpose of this channel should be beyond this sort of strategy for views. It is not possible to find the next one among thousands of videos.
I used to smoke pot but then I stopped, if you want to get high it's a sign that something is not quite right in your life and it's much better to just resolve that issue, with that kind of thinking I gave up getting high on anything including alcohol, speed, and pot. I just enjoy life so much I don't need to "rosey" over anything at anytime. P.S. I have had terminal brain cancer, funny that.
The difference is alcohol and speed kill. Weed on the other hand...
Be careful with your words spoken, since they carry truth..... you might offend a pot smoker. Lol
@@veganmikedizzle4303 *plant smoker (or vapor/eater)
@@LevelheadedWilliamNatalie Euphemisms
Eh, I think it depends. I get your point, but it IS possible to just smoke a few times a month for the heck of it. Harder to argue for habitual, daily use, though.
We don't even need to smoke it!
Thing is people usually mix weed with tobacco. Is this just weed like in a blunt or nah?
I guess he's speaking about only weed, without tobacco... The problem with blunt rolling paper is that it's made of tobacco...
Wath about eating canibis ?
Carlos Morales My god I have asked my self that question so many times I’m sick of it. It does my head in that they don’t do study’s on eating it. It’s the natural way for it to enter the body. The side effects are different the pros and cons are different.
well you remove all the smoking side effects plus getting all the benefits of cannabis since its not burned
Sia regardless of that the way the body metabolises it when it’s digested as opposed to inhaling it changes everything. When eaten it is interacting with your gut flora etc. THC becomes metabolised by the liver where it is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC when eaten.
is that good or bad?
RWS Its not a question of black and white in a situation like this. There’s many shades in between. Side effects positives negatives etc.. I’ll link a article that brings up questions very few people ask or even think about. It’s an article not pier reviewed research so take it at face value.

FIX title: Does *SMOKING* Marijuana cause lung cancer.
There are marijuana edibles, after all. You'd know if you've been to Colorado in the past years :-D
nanomyou5 very true. I was in Colorado visiting earlier this year and they have so many edible options! The chocolate bars were my fave
Don't forget the oils
So does it cause cancer or not
They don't know for certain. Breathing smoke of any kind can't be great for the lungs, but the risk is less with pot. That's what I got from this.
This channel has 420k subs lol
Doesn't make your lungs newer, trust me hahahhahah
This is the holy cow you are about to gore.
Dude I got scared for a second...
I smoke 1 half gram joint a day. I think I'll be fine :)
I don't even smoke anymore... but goddamn that thumbnail made my mouth water. Those perfect nugs and joints... unf.
Please, russian subtitres...
*could* cause ...nothing just causes something but many things raise the risk of disease
At last nothing is more important than health 😭
The fertilizer that go on the plants is bad
Why I can't stop smiling listening to that?
Quitting weed was the best thing I ever did tbh.
Why ?
quitting weed and switching to cigarettes was the best descion i ever made
@@zekeinvest7041why
How did you stop
@@danielpena6457 ru also addicted??
It all depends. How the environments of where the plants that and how it was taken care of from day one till it’s package and till the day it’s sold. It could’ve been flushed wrong it could’ve been in an environment where it’s full of hair flying around. It could’ve been outdoors or bugs get in between the flower as it’s growing some people use bugs indoors bug poop in the flower. It could’ve been packaged wet or dry as f.. it could’ve been re-labeled, and the harvest date can be changed It could be anything yes, you can get cancer from smoking shitty weed
It does not give you cancer I know so many ppl that do it and they’re healthy as a horse. My gym where I live owner of the gym uses it and he’s completely healthy. And all these people that have been doing it for years and doctors always tell them they’re just fine and healthy!
Yeah it does
How would you know your heathy are you a doctor?
@@tamplushboy8452 it’s common sense if you know anything about pot. It’s doesn’t case lung damage or cancer. Also, everyone I know who smokes weed has never had any health issues, including my grandpa, who is 93 and a regular weed smoker since the 60’s. They’ve even done large studies and found no correlation
@@tamplushboy8452 people do get physicals and they show if you’re healthy or not 😂
@@tamplushboy8452 you can tell someone just looking at them if they are healthy
I've been weaning off smoking weed after giving up tobacco. Since it became legal in Canada I'm getting into distillates and edibles. Discreet and very powerful.
dude i been smoking for 15 years straight! taking 3 or 4 bowl hits every 35 min! 24/7! and recently i been spitting black stuff and my head hurts and my lugs burn and idk whats next... im screwed... in not going to the doctor
Hey bro how u doing health wise?
Man time to quit i think
I was feeling burning skin feels like frostbite on my arms! And my body gets really hot from the inside like im buring.. ringing in the ears... gout... probably pre diabetes, i have a ounce left i need to smoke it and then im going clean for 2 weeks! I been feeling better even since i moved to a sunny home, i sleep 8h, sit on the sun for 20min. Breath feesh air, in fasting, taking ice showers, i stoped ejaculating too... alot more stuff im doing and all my synthoms are kinda going away... i still smoke weed alot alot and just now spit out a luger and it came out black gray with tiny dots of blood in it....
@@trillioncrowns bruh
@@trillioncrownsdude you living the life i only ejaculate couple of times & suffering from gastro issues
Vape cloud time
I thought marijuana is meant to fight cancer not give you cancer
Any smoke is toxic, cook your plants and eat them it gives a better and longer buzz.
I bought a *Mighty* dry herb vaporizer and my lymph nodes swell up the same way as smoking used to induce pain..
However it never happened with edibles i just get massive munchies and craving for refined carbs and when I eat sugar or dairy they swell too
I found that green tea infusions and turmeric really help lower this "inflammation"
@snookii onestaa smoking and eating marijuana are 2 completely different highs also
No it helps Cancer
Dr Gregor please do a video on smoking, vaping and eating cannabis. 🙏
What?😂 1:13 🐁
NOO THE CLIFFHANGER
No, no it does not
What if you use Metal pipes to smoke out of ... I know enough metal particles inhaled thru YOUR lungs can cause health issues to the LUNGS so why not recommended Glass pipes or other ways 2 smoke ??? See this is y 4 so long I've been looking 4 a video like this , but from an actual pot heads point of view 😏
Ecstasy, weed, acid, mushrooms should be legal and tobacco should be illegal.
No industrial tobacco with the 9000 different chemicals added to it should be banned and they should force tobacco companies to make all natural products
Just don't burn out your receptors
I smoked weed everyday. Then I started spitting bloody mucus. I thought cancer but prolly bronchitis
Never met a pothead that didn't go on and on about how cannabis cures cancer.
The oil does and can be eaten rather than smoked, there is a huge body of evidence.
IS not the oil. Is the cannabis flower. Eat the flower raw means anti cancer and no high effect.
Nice one Scott, i wish him well. There's so much evidence now that even conventional medicine is doing trials, so anyone that thinks like Jo Woo needs to educate themselves.
@@matiasvalor01 you still get high even if you cook it
@@bombtubejamz739 Actually the THC that's makes you high is also anti cancer. Justo research what sicence says: the endocannabinoid sistem, thc and cancer cell apoptosis. There are studys. Is not a matter of belief, there is proof.
Legalize It.
And you point Einstein?
So I can't get cancer smoking pure weed without tobacco?
wouldn’t count on it
Just eat cookies with canabis
I don't hold my smoke in thank god😖
yeah lol
Smoke......cleanse.....refresh...... repeat
MARIJUANA HAS TAR!
Weed doesn't have tar in
Any smoke going into lungs can't be good.
LMAO! Smoke in your lungs of any sort can cause cancer still less bad then cigs tho cus i can breathe weed cigs make me die lmao
Smoking anything is bad for you.
Edibles all the way
For the TL;DR folks, here you go.
No, it does not.
Bro just claimed it has anti tumoral effects but it doesn’t cure cancer sweet
Dr. G. You da man. Legalize!
And it's vegan!
