I have smoked cigarettes since I was little, and still do. The TAX on them is ferkin disgraceful. You may not know it, but they cost more than a dollar per cigarette now. When I was 12, I used to sell a pack of 4 for 10 cents. (Mum used to get big boxes of them for her family members, because nobody smoked in my immediate family, except me, but she didn't know that, she'd swap big boxes of free shite she had to give away as a sales rep, with what other reps were giving away) Point is more'n fitty years(that's how cool gangsta types say fifty, fitty, oo yeah, I'm a badass awright) smokin', and I ain't got the big C.
Nobody from my side of the family has ever got cancer, my auntie had emphysema pretty bad, but she smoked about sixty a day like forever. I've smoked a heck of a lot of weed too. poo tons when I was young. I remember I tried to give up cigarettes once, when I was about 33, (my geebus year) but I ended up smoking about 15 to 20 joints a day, and it was getting silly, so I just went back to fags.
Point is there are cannibinols in grass, that are having a positive health benefit for cancer patients, and cannibinols do not get you stoned, at all. Mind you, people that buy grass for medicinal purposes tend to still buy the type with lots of cannibinoids, and that gets yer shitfaced. Funny 'bout that. Mostly the cannibinol buyers are parents of kids with cancer or epilepsy gone rogue, cos it helps some of them, dramatically.
Sadly a friends child had c and they had to illegally make their own oil, and it was normal grass, so it did effect her a little, but the doses were tiny, so not a lot, but it did not seem to have any positive effect as far as I could see. If the government had allowed them to import the properly made one that they needed, it may have helped, but we will never know, it's too late now.
Self righteous pricks who want to keep drugs illegal because they are buggerheads that understand nothing make me very, very, angry. Not a good idea.
