Look, the same thing happened to me. Smoked a bong one night. I coughed insanely after the first hit. Now you might say its normal, and thats what I thought aswell. The next day there was a sharp pain on one spot in my lung. The pain went away, but returned after a while (not as painful, but still there). It comes and goes randomly during the day. I've had it for 11 months now. I know it's not cancer (I would have been dead or very i'll by now if it was), but it still bothers me as it got worse 2 months ago and the pain is now covering twice the area. I'm clueless as to what the solution might be.

smokin mj once will not give you cancer..if it did all the naysayers who wanna ban it wouldnt be wasting their time on the reefer madness story. Now get a grip, write down your symptoms and go see a doc if they are still about.
I have cancer and use it to medicate...it keeps away the pain and the nausea, I have gained two stones since starting...I was six stones now eight..and it is still going up..so dont panic it will not kill you..never has killed anyone yet..
Most young lads who try it will freak out the first time cos they coughed when inhaling and pull their muscles...cue panic and wasting docs time... o.O

It sees to me that this subject has not been answered. So let me burst your bubble. Whether you smoke weed, crack, cigarettes; smoking causes cancer. If you don't believe me i don't care. Here is my advice to those who advocate smoking. Buy a charcoal grill fill it up to the top with charcoal. Spray on your lighter fluid, and light that baby up in your living room. This will help you to understand how smoking can kill you. Infact, if you were to do this you would die instantly. No cancer, just carbon monoxide poisoning. Any time you light up any material it produces carbons that are harmful to your insides. I am not saying you will get cancer, but you increase your odds by lighting up that joint or bowl. If you aren't convinced ask your logical brain if you have one, WHY IS THERE RESIN IN THE PIPE? It sure is black as coal isn't it? Which leads me back to the barbeque. What becomes of a joint as it smokes? it turns to ash. Where does the carbon flow straight into your fragile body. Sorry folks, smoking does cause cancer, heart attacks, blood pressure issues, etc... Don't live in denial. All the haters out there, and the people who dont believe in facts, good luck with your future date with a respirator.

I imagine you all are having anxiety or panic attacks. I'm afraid cancer doesn't develop after one hit of marijuana. Or some of you may have strained muscles. It's no biggie. You'll live. And if you're really that worried see a doctor. They can't rat on you for smoking it. It's called patient confidentiality; meaning they can't report anything to anyone or their asses are fired.

The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.
The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.
"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."
Federal health and drug enforcement officials have widely used Tashkin's previous work on marijuana to make the case that the drug is dangerous. Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful, its cancer-causing effects appear to be of less concern than previously thought.
Earlier work established that marijuana does contain cancer-causing chemicals as potentially harmful as those in tobacco, he said. However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous.
Tashkin's study, funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse, involved 1,200 people in Los Angeles who had lung, neck or head cancer and an additional 1,040 people without cancer matched by age, sex and neighborhood.
They were all asked about their lifetime use of marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. The heaviest marijuana smokers had lighted up more than 22,000 times, while moderately heavy usage was defined as smoking 11,000 to 22,000 marijuana cigarettes. Tashkin found that even the very heavy marijuana smokers showed no increased incidence of the three cancers studied.
"This is the largest case-control study ever done, and everyone had to fill out a very extensive questionnaire about marijuana use," he said. "Bias can creep into any research, but we controlled for as many confounding factors as we could, and so I believe these results have real meaning."
Tashkin's group at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA had hypothesized that marijuana would raise the risk of cancer on the basis of earlier small human studies, lab studies of animals, and the fact that marijuana users inhale more deeply and generally hold smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers -- exposing them to the dangerous chemicals for a longer time. In addition, Tashkin said, previous studies found that marijuana tar has 50 percent higher concentrations of chemicals linked to cancer than tobacco cigarette tar.
While no association between marijuana smoking and cancer was found, the study findings, presented to the American Thoracic Society International Conference this week, did find a 20-fold increase in lung cancer among people who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day.
The study was limited to people younger than 60 because those older than that were generally not exposed to marijuana in their youth, when it is most often tried.

LOL@ how many facts people are throwing out about marijuana hurting you without ANY sourcing or fact checks. If you find a source that isn't an anti-weed biased site that gives your arguments some weight THEN post your facts, until then just shut the f**k up you government driven slaves.
"my friend smoked a blunt with the plastic wrapper on it still and went into acute respitory failure and died tell me no one has died from weed!"
Your friend died from being a retard, and your statement is somehow more retarded. Do you live in a home?
