Depends on how they are smoked. Joints are fucking terrible for you.

We should say how it's consumed, because the arguably safest way to consume marijuana doesn't involve smoking at all (edibles).

The benefit is that it isn't chemically addictive. It is behaviorally addictive though. Both are very bad when inhaled (of course).

I'm never going back from the dry herb vapes! When you're smoking cannabis, you're turning perfectly good THC into carcinogens. Why would you do that‽ Better to vaporize your cannabinoids without setting them on fire.
