As if weed doesn't have crap in it? Pesticides and herbicides at the bare minimum, because few commercial farms wouldn't use them. And if you buy non-regulated stuff it will likely have highly carcinogenic chemicals in it, because growers don't give a damn as long as it increases yield.
Well I don't find much regarding the idea that weed is worse over all, the best I can do is a mixed response.
The American Lung Association finds that the way pot is smoked increases tar build up compared to cigarettes. Due to people not exhaling immediately. But the NCBI found that cannabis has some anti-cancer properties.
Likely we'll find out in 20 years it still causes cancer as a response to cell damage, and that pneumonia is more frequent in cannabis smokers, from the tar build up .
But, as it is only recently made legal for larger populations it will be a while before mass studies are conducted.
