Those are the top-line findings of recent research published in the journal Scientific Reports, a subsidiary of Nature. Researchers sought to quantify the risk of death associated with the use of a variety of commonly used substances. They found that at the level of individual use, alcohol was the deadliest substance, followed by heroin and coc aine.
And all the way at the bottom of the list? Weed — roughly 114 times less deadly than booze, according to the authors, who ran calculations that compared lethal doses of a given substance with the amount that a typical person uses. Marijuana is also the only drug studied that posed a low mortality risk to its users.

What do you mean? There are no incidences of cancer from smoking marijuana, it actually has protective properties against it.

To be fair, I'm sure inhaling any type of smoke or plant material is probably not having a positive effect on your lungs. I've got nothing to back that up.
Edit: I think it's time for a drugs forum, with OPEN dialogue allowed.
