I agree, although I think it's not just tolerance level. Until recently, smoking was the most popular way to ingest marijuana. Smoking kind of sucks though, so it's best to smoke as little as possible to get the desired effects. Ironically, the strongest strains are in a way the healthiest for you as you can do a very small amount vs smoking a large quantity of plant material.

That's a good point, though we may be dealing with small amounts regardless. For instance, I read that for one study of tobacco lung cancer, a "moderate" smoker starts at 10 cigarettes a day. (woah). So let's say someone smokes 10 cigarettes a day, every day, and let's say a single cigarette takes 10 moderate drags (I'm getting this by googling and using the first reddit thread I find, I don't smoke). Ok, so 103010 = 3000 drags a month for a light/moderate smoker. Now, imagine a casual (2x a month) cannabis user who actually smokes most of a smallish preroll, 6 drags (though they may be deeper). So we're looking 12 drags a month vs 3000. I have no idea if the extra 8-10 drags from weaker cannabis make a difference vs 1-2 on something stronger, but we're talking about an extremely low dose, either way, compared to any kind of cigarette smoking, maybe low enough that the difference isn't measurable.
