I’d also be careful of the wording - since most people associate ‘marijuana’ with ‘smoking marijuana’ I’d say it’s a bit misleading to say that ‘marijuana decreases the chance risk of lung cancer.’
It’s just more accurate to say that ingesting THC (whether it’s a vape or edibles) can decrease risk, because there’s just no way that smoking anything is good for your lungs, lol.[/quote]
Also, this thread is actually about vaporizers…so there is no smoke involved to start with.

No need to get defensive, man. We’re on the same page.
I know this thread’s about vaporizers, but the majority of people who ‘use’ weed don’t vaporize, but rather smoke.
I did, however, come across this in my search for that study (I couldn’t find the one you posted, but maybe it’s the same one that’s mentioned in the first post of the second page in this thread?)
However, that’s just saying smoking’s not correlated to lung cancer, not that it decreases the risk.
And FWIW, I’m sorry about your grandma - that’s the exact reason that even if the federal gov’t isn’t going to legalize it for recreational use, they should at least recognize it for medicinal use [in all 50 states, as opposed to the few who do currently.]
