Cannabis smoke contains more chemicals

CANNABIS smokers inhale far more toxic chemicals than those who puff on cigarettes new research shows.
When inhaled directly, marijuana smoke contains 20 times more lung-damaging ammonia and five times as much hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides than cigarette smoke, a team led by David Moir at Health Canada reports.

In WA around 235,000 people use cannabis and it is the most widely used illicit drug nationwide, according to a survey by the Australian Governments Institute of Criminology.
