Life isn't life without risks. I also have no problems with Candida or any fungal infections.

In animal studies it seems to increase infection risk but I don't know of a human trial yet -- the human immune system has differences to other species, and so experiments in other species are not always directly applicable to Humans.

For example:

Animal receptors and human receptors and number of receptors, etc, vary in significant ways. If someone understands molecular biology, who works in the immunology field could identify better which receptors THC targets and the effects on them I'd be interested to hear what they have to say.

you get more tar in weed smoke than you do from tabacco smoke. and recent research shows that weed damages your blood vessels 3 times more than tabacco does.

In all seriousness, I think people understand the risks and make a conscious decision to smoke anyway.  The reward outweighs the risk, to them.  Personally, I don't drink, smoke, or use any other kinds of substances, because in my mind, the risk outweighs the reward.



too right
