yeah but its not meant to be smoked. smoke in your lungs is obviously bad, thats why you cough when you breath in smoke..ingesting weed is different but people that are into weed, 90% of them are just looking to get blazed, they arent concerned about therapeutic effects of small doses ingested, and thats the problem, they just want to get stoned. on top of that is a hallucinogen, in small amounts of course its no problem but if you smoke large quantities you will hallucinate, thats indians for you, they got blazed and had hallucinations aka speaking with "spirits" and all that jazz..
