I'm not aware of any, but edibles certainly won't cause lung damage.

  Though they may cause stomach and/or intestinal damage.

    People have been ingesting cannabis since long, long, long before they smoked it from a pipe. It would surprise me if there are dire health effects that are entirely undiscovered. This is, of course, shitty compared to actually providing a study.

        Are there poor health effects from ingesting tabacco? it makes my stomach turn, but I wouldn't jump to cancer.

          Yes, according to a number of sources.[1][2] [1] http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/quit-smoking/in-depth/chewing-tobacco/art-20047428?pg=2 http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/quit-smoking/in-...

            Nice find. The likely carcinogens in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco-specific_nitrosamines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco-specific_nitrosamines

          Yes. In fact, there are also problems for smkers who cough up and then swallow phlegm - this increases risk of bladder and penile cancers.

          Stomach, esophagus, and pancreas cancers are all common for people who dip. The chemical difference between smokeless tobacco and marijuana in food is probably a lot different though.

    No, not any more than eating any other food; it's a plant, it isn't going to hurt your stomach.

      > No, not any more than eating any other food; it's a plant, it isn't going to hurt your stomach. There are plenty of plants that can hurt your stomach a great deal. Some will even kill you. "It's a plant" is not an argument.

        It's not a poisonousness plant.
