Here’s how you can
reduce the risks 10:
- Choose non-smoke alternatives. Though not risk-free, they do protect your lungs.
- Avoid inhaling deeply or holding your breath. That means lower toxin exposure.
- If you do still choose to smoke cannabis, cut back to occasional use. Risks increase with frequency.
- For your overall health, choose products with lower THC content, or a higher ratio of CBD to THC.
- Avoid synthetic cannabis products. Synthetic cannabis ranges from four to 660 times more potent than THC, depending on the specific compound. 11
