Can relighting a marijuana joint cause cancer?!
Question: I don't know about relighting it but Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

Just lighting it? No. I think you'd have to smoke it.
No. Smoking anything can cause lung damage, but relighting a joint won't.
Just don't smoke too much.
yes marijuana causes cancer faster than cig was just found out not too long ago they did research
lighting it the first time can cause cancer. just don't do it.
Like twice baked brownies?
marijuana causes cancer no matter how many times you light it.
its the equal of four cigarettes.
have fun dying. :]
Wha...? Just smoking the darn thing is a carcinogenic...cancer causing. Stop while you can!
Just smoking it can give you cancer. But, hubby and I partake daily and when we run out there's always resin. None of it is good for you. If you're woried I just wouldn't do it at all.
there is no difference between lihting it the first time and the second time
if you are under the impression that you would not get caner from smoking a joint , yo uare confused.
no more than lighting it in the first place.
relighting it? no! it might help with some of the effects of the chemo
We had a discussion at work today; not about marijuana, but cigarettes. I work in an operating room and we were talking about cancer. The evils of cigarettes; and one of the surgeons said that someone could stand in the middle of a busy intersection and probably inhale as many toxins and carcinogens as smoking a couple of cigarettes. He's more than likely correct! Everything we do, everything we eat can jeopardize our very being. He certainly isn't "pro" smoking anything; but something's going to get us! So can relighting a joint cause cancer? Maybe, but you have to smoke it!
