Hi, if it’s a single episode you don’t have to worry. See that you do not repeat it, as studies have linked dioxins and furans which are released by burning plastic, to cancer and respiratory disease. Also, weed or cannabis can cause psychosis, anxiety and depression. It can also cause lung, head and neck cancers. So, try to wean yourself away from this, will make a healthy you. Take care.

Ummm, yer stupid. Marijuana does not give u any form of cancer nor does it give u psychosis or depression, the very few people that get anxiety from smoking weed, is only because their minds aren't used to the euphoric feeling and they want the feeling to go away. There are no scientific studies linked to the fact that marijuana gives u cancer or depression. And if there are, they are false. I have been doing studies on marijuana for almost 8 years now, and never have I heard something so stupid.
Marijuana has many of the same carcinogenic properties of tobacco. It is a burning plant and the smoke is being inhaled into the lungs. Anyone who doesn’t understand that this is/can be damaging to the body isn’t facing reality.
Marijuana contains carcinogenic elements. Especially (it can) when of unknown origin. Growers can and often do use chemical agents as insecticides and fertilizers which are not suited for use on an inhaled flammable. Even when these aren’t used it contains substances know to cause cancer when burned and inhaled just as tobacco does. Not sure where you are getting your info but....here is an article for you to look over with some info.
