I've heard a lot of talk about this over the years. It seems like fairly straightforward logic. Smoking the absurdly less processed form of the plant ought to be better than those Frankensticks from Phillip-Morris. At the end of the day, inhaling smoke is going to damage your lungs when done regularly. Unfortunately, it's the particular way those processed cigarettes 'hit' that I've come to enjoy. If I wind up quitting, it will just be from smoking altogether. I've never been a cannabis guy, and I cannot stand e-cigs/vaping, so if it's anything, it will be back to good old mildly polluted American air and probably putting on 15 lbs. from snacking on beef jerky or something.
