I would also like to add this story Indie.
I had a lover in 2007. She spent over two years in Egypt (she studied Arabic). While she was there (and here in UK to), she smoked lots of cannabis.
In the same year we met she suddenly dropped with cancer. She was '27' yrs old. She was also 'proper beautiful'.
It was proven that it was all the cheap cannabis she smoked that was the blame. Not the cigs she mixed it with (though smoking does cause cancer to).
She was rushed back home when she collapsed. She was in hospital for months. The doctors gave her a biopsy and that was when I saw her last. She came to visit her friends before the operation.
She was going in to theatre to have an operation. She was told 1 of 3 things will happen.
1 - She will never wake up.
2 - She will wake up, but will lose one of her lungs (its possible to live through life with one lung).
3 - The operation will be a success and she will be fine.
Number 3 happened (thank god).
After this experience she had to, and wanted a lifestyle change. I knew that we could never be lovers again (and that was a shame), but I wanted her to live her dream so to lose her as a lover was not a problem.
She saw she had a second chance in life and she took it. Now she's married and very happy in Egypt.
The point of telling you this is that when smoking weed, if ones lungs are prone to cancer, the weed 'opens' the lungs up to take in more of the smoke. That's one part of what makes people high. The other part is the THC (the active chemical).
Remember though, she was '27' when this happened. It scared the hell out of all of us.
This story has a happy ending, but not all stories do.
