Answer 1

As other’s have said. Burning biological material produces carcinogens, most notably PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) it also produces soot particulates that get in your lungs, and CO, which gets into your bloodstream. The local research lab uses PAH’s as part of the studies. They refer to their storage location as “the cabinets of death.” There’s simply no way to remove those without basically removing all the stuff that people smoke to get.

I’ll add that this is also true for ANY biological material. Marijuana doesn’t get a free pass. It might even be worse because of the way people hold it in their lungs.
