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.
The same held true for tobacco for quite a long time, do keep in mind.

- DanBC 11y agoYes. In fact, there are also problems for smkers who cough up and then swallow phlegm - this increases risk of bladder and penile cancers.
- comrh 11y agoStomach, 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.
