My Dad smoked cigarettes, heavily...for over 60 years. He often asked me "Why haven't I ever got lung cancer?"

My Dad also used cannabis regularly for the last 30 years of his life. This thread has me wondering if there is some connection between the two?

He died from COPD little over a year ago, his lungs were so full of tar that every time they did a chest X ray on him, they'd have to back up and do another because they'd miss the bottom parts of his lungs that had stretched down so far from the tar. The last 10 years or so he couldn't take smoking cannabis anymore, so he made brownies...his daily routine of having a brownie with his morning coffee sounds a little bit like what Greg is describing above...maybe not as scientific but one has to wonder if that is what kept him from ever getting any types of cancer and who knows how long it actually may have extended his life.

Thanks for sharing your story Greg, hope you don't mind if I pass it along to some of my friends and family that are dealing with some sort or another of cancer treatment as well.
