alt Hacker NewsI'm doubtful of any motivated reasoning/research that one type of smoke in your lungs is dramatically better than another type of smoke in your lungs... compared with.. no smoke in your lungs.
Have an edible, do whatever you want in your own home, enjoy. But don't rationalize the laissez faire attitude towards one type of secondhand smoke over another.

It's just simple math.
Look, I was a Tobacco smoker, and the level of addiction you have with Tobacco is on another level.
I was smoking easily 20 cigs a day. I don't know anyone, even the most stoner of stoners, who smokes 20 joints a day. That doesn't even sound, like, logistically possible.
Obviously smoking anything is bad, but getting an order of magnitude or more less smoke HAS to be a big win.
Also nicotine. Nicotine even by itself is a problem. Don't listen to Zyn bros, nicotine is in fact evil and it does destroy your cardiovascular system over time.
How much does a typical cannabis smoker consume per day? How much does a typical smoker consume per day? See the difference in magnitude?
Also, second hand smoke where? Do you often have people smoking indoors with you?
It's not just the relative harm of a particular dose. People lighting up a joint a day, let alone per week, are not being exposed to anywhere near the dose of the classic multiple pack a day chainsmokers that used to be everywhere and now hardly seem to exist. Even if they're equally harmful per unit, they're not equally harmful as habits to have.
