Is it really?
Interesting. I would like to know exactly what kind of chemicals are actually added to marijuana that is so much more harmful than cigarette. It makes me wonder then why there is such a thing as "medical marijuana" if that's so dangerous for your body. Some of my friends are legally prescribed marijuana for medical purposes. If one joint is really equal to one pack of cigarettes, they should be hopelessly ill by now. Anyway this video is not really informative, it almost sounds like propaganda

not science
The video clip on this subject is totally inaccurate and not by backed up by unbiased scientific studies. For starters, not one case of lung cancer has ever been linked to Marijauna use, and it goes on from there. Look around and and you'll find the truth, they have done plenty of proper studies on this.
