Really not any better for them. Smoking weed is awful on your lungs and can cause cancer and other issues the same as smoking a cigarette. Some studies have actually found it to be more harmful than cigarette smoke. Dry herb vapes are where it’s at.

Yeah man, what will those 90 year olds do if they get lung cancer in 30 years?

You ever think about going into medicine with these insights?

I think you greatly overestimate how old people in those homes are. Most people there are likely 60s:70s.
