Accepted Answer

Controversy: Cannabis tar produced from smoking does contain carcinogens.  However there is much debate in the literature as to wether Cannabis contributes to lung cancer or chronic lung disease.

Question 2

what's a good way to get my boyfriend to stop smoking weed?

Accepted Answer

Cannabis: Tell him specifically (in a non-aggressive manner) what your concerns are.  You can encourage him to consider ma (marijuanna anonymous).  But you can't make him go. You can care for yourself by attending a 12 step program like al anon. If he is not willing to stop his cannabis abuse and you find it intolerable - ending the relationship is certainly an option.

Accepted Answer

No: Well,  saying you have a heart murmur doesn't mean anything and does not tell us your diagnosis. . A murmur is just a sound, but what is causing it is the important thing   therefore, you have to ask your doctor what is causing your murmur. It may be innocent, meaning your heart is normal.  As for weed, if you're healthy, then probably no direct effect on the murmur, good or bad.
