Thinking pot can't cause cancer is just ******** absurd. You are smoking something. You're putting smoke into your lungs. I mean, really? You're going to attempt to refute that?
Eating pot is one thing. Smoking it - smoking
anything - is another.
So.
What exactly in smoke causes cancer?
Carcinogens. It's factually accurate that marijuana does have more carcinogens in it than does tobacco. Luckily people don't (normally) smoke pot as frequently or as long as they do tobacco. Still doesn't protect them from the cancer-causing agents in both substances.
And yeah, boo hoo carcinogens are in lots of things. Doesn't refute the fact that there's enough to easily cause lung cancer - among other cancers, I might add - in pot smoke.
Anything that burns is carcinogenic in nature. Doesn't mean that you'll get cancer from sitting around a campfire.
In actuality, there isn't a single case of a pot smoker getting lung cancer from smoking pot. Also, cannabinoids such as THC and Cannabidiol have anti-tumoral properties and some studies have shown that moderate use may protect against neck, head and lung cancers.
It's all about vaporizers anyway.

Actually, yes it does. When something burns, it releases carcinogens into the air. More likely than not, you'll be breathing that same air. I'm not saying OMG CANCER from one cigarette or one night camping, but each time you inhale carcinogens, it adds up. People
can get cancer from just one cigarette. It only takes one.
Not documented cases as of yet, no. This doesn't negate the basic fact that you're inhaling copious amounts of cancer-causing agents each time you light up. Again, pot smokers don't use as often or for as long - year-wise, rather - than tobacco smokers on a general basis. Not only that but tobacco is laced with tons of other stuff that pot usually isn't laced with.
I think everyone knows by now that marijuana has medicinal benefits as well.
Edit: It's almost 4 AM here and I need some sleep. Peace.
