Not studied yet: While eating Cannabis instead of smoking it reduces the risks associated with taking a toxin into your lungs amid smoke, it does not remove the effects of cannabinoids on blood vessels. Cannabinoids are known to cause hardening/blockage of small blood vessels which can increase stroke risk in any organ system. There are not enough studies yet to look at Cancer correlation without the smoke.
