I agree with you - I wasn't particularly clear with my last sentence. I meant the lack of data around cannabis/cannabinoids in general and specifically its interaction with the immune system and diseases, not inhaling smoke - inhaling smoke of any kind is not going to be good for your lungs/heart.
I do think the mixed findings around the immune system need a lot of work right now. We're basically 50 years behind where we should be - Given that the original comment I responded to is not entirely wrong either, we do have some evidence that cannabinoids suppress the immune system in helpful ways for some autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn's/IBD) which I believe is why there was interest in evaluating the impact in HIV patients, where the results were inconclusive.
