Smoke does contain carcinogens. Also, the heat from smoking anything can cause damage to tissues making them more susceptible to cancer. I would go see a dentist, if I were you, and have them do a full exam, including looking for a cavities, examining the health of your gums, and doing an oral cancer screening check. If there are any areas that are suspect, the dentist will give you further instructions on how to get it checked or taken care of.
They should not less you have gum disease. To smoke more than an ten sack a day everyday might cause them to darken. Smoking cigs would be the equivelent. But its more normal to smoke one or two joints a day and that would be unlikely to cause it.
I've never smoked, but I saw a news story about that very same thing. It will cause your gums to deteriorate, but I don't know about cancer. Going by cigarettes I'd say yes it could cause gum cancer. You should quit, smoking is not good for your health.
People think that because its weed it isn't bad. Wrong. If that was the case your lips and gums wouldn't darken. You want to smoke that's you personal choice, but don't cry when you start to see and feel your health deteriorate.

You should quit. For real!!
Dude you have been smoking weed since you were 12??? What a loser! Do you live in your parents basement, go to the high school parties, and work at McDonalds too??? Christ man! Hell yeah you need to stop smoking weed! Stop smoking weed and grow up! You are 22 years old! Time to start to contribute society, instead of being a parasite upon it!
People are so mean.
Weed isn't as bad as they make it sound.
It's actually better than cigarettes.
But yes, I have heard it makes your lips and gums darken.
Usually, it's if you're African American and it turns your lips purple.
lt can cause alot of problems
