As far back as 1976 THC in particular has been studied and found to be an effective bronchodilator. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC470501/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC470501/
One study that explored the trends in outcomes of cannabis use among patients with COPD that were hospitalized found that “Among hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COPD, cannabis users had statistically significant lower odds of in-hospital mortality and pneumonia compared to non-cannabis users. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33998884/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33998884/
A randomized controlled trial conducted in 2018 that explored the effects of vaporizing cannabis and COPD patients found that “single-dose inhalation of vaporized cannabis had no clinically meaningful positive or negative effect on airway function, exertional breathlessness, and exercise endurance in adults with advanced COPD.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30049223/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30049223/
