“Do you think inhaling hot ash into your lungs and capillaries is healthy?”
That’s what makes it so stupid to pretending smoking it is a cure for anything.
Therein is my problem with the deranged marijuana crowd that thinks its the second coming of penicillin. If they would just come out and say they like it because it gets them high, it would be ok. More power to you. That’s part of living in a free society—you should be free to put whatever you want in your body, but be ready to also face the consequences to such behavior.
There has been very little research (peer reviewed scientific research, and large sample size testing, not High Times articles) that accurately addresses the medicinal nature of marijuana. Keep in mind that one point in time smoking cigs was supposed to be great for a upper respiratory infection, and cocaine was good for a sore throat.
