Smoking cannabis: What happens to the lungs

Cannabis is smoked most frequently worldwide – either pure or mixed with tobacco. Cannabis smoke contains many of the same toxic compounds as tobacco smoke: carbon monoxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and tar. In addition, many users burn their cannabis cigarettes deeper and hold the smoke longer, which increases the deposition of harmful substances in the lungs.

This does not mean that cannabis and tobacco are identical in terms of lung toxicity – there are important differences. But it does mean that smoking as a form of consumption carries lung risks that are independent of cannabis pharmacology.

Bronchitis and respiratory symptoms

The best-documented risk associated with cannabis smoking is chronic bronchitis:

Cannabis and lung cancer: the data situation

Although cannabis smoke contains carcinogens, the data on lung cancer is surprisingly inconsistent:

Largest study (Hashibe et al. 2006, IARC): Meta-analysis of 6 case-control studies, n=2,200+ lung cancer patients. Result: No significantly increased risk of lung cancer in cannabis users, even with intensive use. Possible explanation: THC and CBD have antiproliferative properties in vitro.

Contrasting evidence: Some cohort studies (e.g. Aldington 2008) found increased risks with very high consumption (>10 joint years). Methodological difficulty: Concurrent tobacco use as a confounder is difficult to isolate.

Conclusion lung cancer: The risk is significantly lower than with tobacco and possibly partially compensated by anti-tumor cannabinoid properties – but a complete all-clear is not possible.

Lung function: FEV1 and vital capacity

In contrast to tobacco, moderate cannabis use does not show a consistent decrease in FEV1 (one-second capacity) in longitudinal studies. The CARDIA study (Pletcher 2012, JAMA) even found slightly increased vital capacity with low-to-moderate use over 20 years – possible reason: deep inhalation during cannabis smoking as unintentional respiratory training.

However, with high long-term consumption (daily for years), CT studies show air-trapping and signs of emphysema independent of tobacco.

Forms of consumption: Protect your lungs

Vaporizer (steaming): Temperature 170-220°C instead of combustion (~800°C). No combustion → no PAHs, no tar, drastically reduced CO. Study situation: Zuurman et al. (2008) showed equivalent effect with significantly fewer respiratory symptoms. For regular users, vaporizers are the superior form of consumption.

Oils and tinctures: No pulmonary exposure. Slower onset of action (45-90 min vs. immediately with smoking), dosage more difficult.

Edibles: No lung risk. Highly variable bioavailability (6-20 %). Risk of overdose due to delayed onset of action.

Medical cannabis inhaled: Patients with SHI reimbursement are often given flowers to vaporize (recommended devices: Volcano Medic, Mighty+).

Cannabis and pre-existing lung diseases

– Asthma: Acute smoking can trigger bronchospasms. Vaporizers or non-inhalation are mandatory.
– COPD: Smoking cannabis worsens COPD symptoms. For medical indications: vaporizer or oral use only.
– Pneumonia: immunosuppression due to chronic cannabis use is possible – increased risk of infection in high users.

FAQ: Cannabis and the lungs

Summary

Cannabis smoking causes chronic bronchitis and, with high long-term use, signs of emphysema – the risks are real smoking damage, not cannabis-specific pharmacology. Lung cancer risk is lower than tobacco and inconsistently proven. Solution: vaporizer eliminates combustion risks with the same effect. For patients with chronic diseases, oral forms of consumption (oils, capsules) are the most lung-friendly option. Cannabis on prescription is prescribed as vaporizer flowers as standard for lung diseases.

Valuable tips for the fitness journey

FIV: Hi Lena, on your YouTube channel you bring the most beautiful workout locations to your viewers’ living rooms and guide them through a variety of fitness workouts. You’ve been doing this for a few years now and are therefore an expert, do you have 3 tips you can give to someone just starting out on their fitness journey?

Lena: 1. don’t take on too much at once. Exercise for 10 minutes a day and see if you want to keep going after that. If not, that’s okay for now. Step by step!

2. find something that you really enjoy. If you have to force yourself to exercise every day, you won’t be happy.

3. celebrate the small successes! Have you managed your first push-up? Congratulations. Be proud of yourself. This is just the beginning of your fitness journey!

FIV: That’s valuable advice that we can take to heart! Tell me, do you also have a secret to success?

A sense of achievement and overcoming boundaries

FIV: Have you ever had a moment when you can look back and say it was a real sense of achievement?

Lena: When I performed the “Rocking Balance” exercise accurately for the first time, even though I was convinced that I would never be able to do it, it felt like a triumphant moment that showed me that I could overcome my own limitations and overcome challenges that initially seemed unattainable.

FIV: Overcoming your limits is certainly a challenge, but all the better when it works out. Before you take on such challenges, do you have any kind of routine or something you do before you start?

Lena: I tidy up my living room. I need it to be tidy so that I’m not distracted during Pilates. Once everything is in the right place, I lay down my mat and take off my socks. Then I can get started.

Cheat days, recovery phase and Fleetwood Mac

Lena: As long as I can make sure that the majority of my diet consists of healthy and balanced foods and about 80 percent of my meals meet this guideline, I enjoy my favorite foods to the fullest.

FIV: I’m sure many people are now relieved that they don’t have to give up their cheat meal. Besides, the OFF time from training, i.e. recovery, is also an important aspect, isn’t it?

FIV: We just have one last question for you: What’s your favorite music to listen to in order to get a good workout?

Lena: Fleetwood Mac simply always works.

FIV: Cool, we definitely agree. We don’t want to keep you any longer and wish you continued success on your fitness journey.

Yoga for beginners: Heavy exercises made easy

Oh, it can’t be that hard! A saying that is often made about yoga – and is not at all justified. There is hardly a sport that is more strenuous than yoga and at the same time so good for our body. Nevertheless Yoga is a perfect sport for beginners. Mine can adapt yoga very well to his own needs and thus continuously increase and improve.

Relaxation, power workout or meditation? Yoga has it all!

No sport is as varied as yoga. Whether you want to work out or find your inner center, yoga definitely has something for you. You can do all yoga exercises at home or in groups in the gym. No other sport can be so well adapted to your lifestyle as yoga.

The Flow Yoga: Exercises for inner peace

Ashtanga, Vinyasa or Flow Yoga is a yoga style that combines breathing and movement, the focus is on precise alignment of the body positions. The individual positions are performed as slowly as possible and held for a long time. The transitions into the different asanas (=positions) are flowing. This yoga direction relaxes the mind and lets you switch off – while doing something good for the body at the same time.

Power Yoga: The workout for those who want to really put their foot down

Power Yoga is consciously about finding and reaching your own limits. So you really start sweating and there is no silent meditation like in Flow Yoga. The combination of body-conscious movements and the classic effects of a workout is perfect for anyone who wants to work up a sweat, but at the same time wants to do something for flexibility and balance.

5-minute yoga: Perfect for the evening, morning & in between

If you don’t have time for 50 minutes of workout a day, 5 or 10 minutes of yoga is perfect for you. These short yoga sessions are also good as a morning or evening routine, in addition to the daily workout. Whether you want to set a power or flow focus or just improve or expand certain positions is up to you.

Men’s yoga? Sure – easy exercises even for the immobile

Yoga has a reputation as a typical sport for women. In most yoga classes there are therefore more women than men. One reason for this is that yoga is marketed as a sport for women and one rather does not seek contact with such “women’s stuff”. However, access to the spiritual aspects may be more difficult for men than for women. However, these do not necessarily have to be a part of yoga, as in power yoga for example. Yoga is also more than suitable for typical male desires such as strength and muscle building. Meanwhile there are also courses only for men. There are no excuses or wishes left open!

Real Yoga stars: Miley Cyrus, Meghan Markle and Alessandra Ambrosio do it before

Yoga is not only very popular with us, but also with the stars. Celebrities such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Meghan Markle or Demi Moore love to practice the sport. Who can definitely practice a little more? Jimmy Fallon! The host of the Tonight Show gets a much needed yoga lesson from singer Miley Cyrus…

Tips for meditation: Very simple methods to cope with stress & inner peace

Much in life is a question of structure and organization. This is also the case with meditation. Before we can start, we have to do a few things in order to be able to complete a successful mediation.

Basics quickly explained: suitable place, comfortable posture & Co.

The question of the location is a decisive one. The place should have a calming effect on you and not stress you out. At best, you should look for a place that is quiet and with few people, since this allows you to concentrate fully on the mediation exercises. It would be advantageous if you could meditate at the same place over and over again, as this trains your brain so that you automatically associate this place with relaxation. However, the most important thing is that you feel safe and secure in this place.

The question about the right clothing is very quick and easy to answer: it should be comfortable and you should feel comfortable in it. At the same time, this means that you are not disturbed and therefore distracted by a top that is too tight or an uncomfortable belt.

Distractions like the mobile phone, loud music, the television, the laptop or similar are poison for a successful meditation.

Guided, free meditation for beginners: Instructions & exercises

You have decided that you want to start a mediation, but you do not know exactly how to start. Fortunately there are an incredible number of free meditations on YouTube where you can easily join in! These are already divided into beginners and advanced meditations.

5-minute meditation for deep relaxation

Five minutes is really not long. You should keep this in mind when you think you don’t have time for meditation! Drop by!

Why breathing is crucial: self-love and mindfulness

The correct breathing is crucial in meditation. The following video shows you how to do this best!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmFUDkj1Aq0

Meditation at any time of day: When is the best time for meditation?

As beginners we do not know when is the best time for us to meditate. Since every person has different preferences and is also differently productive, it is not possible to say in general when is the perfect time for you to meditate. Our tip is: Try out different times and note down after each meditation session what your impressions were. After a certain period of time, you will know when is the most suitable time for you.

Meditation in the morning after getting up

Start the day properly with a meditation. Now you know that you do not need much time to do a meditation. Build a seven minute meditation in your morning routine and notice what it starts with. Do you notice a difference or do you need more time?

Meditation in the evening for inner peace and stress management

Try to meditate in the evening. Maybe you will find that you can end your evening very well with a meditation and end your day better.

The best, free workouts without equipment for home: From beginners to professionals

There are a lot of advantages to a workout at home. You can flexibly decide when you and what you want to train. So you are not bound to opening hours that you have to follow your daily schedule. So if it’s not jumping workouts where you might disturb your fellow men from below, you can do your fitness program at any time of the day or night. And you don’t have to wait at any machines because people are already using them.

Train your entire body: Here it depends on the inner bastard

The most important thing you need is discipline. You need to keep at it and motivate yourself every day. Even if it is hard, you should always have your goal in mind. If you want to train your whole body, here is a total body workout in 30 minutes. Sascha Huber will train the whole body with you step by step, so that you feel every part of your body after 30 minutes. As motivation you can see the relatively short time span in which you can very productively exhaust your whole body.

Training sessions: What productive workouts are there for at home that are easy to do without equipment?

Sixpack Workout: Reach your goal without equipment

If you want to focus more on training your abdominal muscles, you can follow this eight-minute abdominal workout. It shows how you can quickly and efficiently train the region of the abdomen without the need for any additional equipment. Join in and hold out. If you think about how fast eight minutes can be done, this should be motivation and incentive enough.

Back training: An accentuated back can be delightful

A good musculature in the back is decisive for a very good overall fitness. So if you want to focus on your back in one day, you can do so easily and, above all, quickly. Again, you don’t need anything except a portion of discipline and motivation. The back training shows you how to train the upper back, the latissimus (large back muscle), the back shoulder and the trapezius muscle (muscles on both sides of the spine) with six exercises and again without any equipment. Targeted back training not only strengthens the back, but has a positive effect on the entire body. Always remember that the body is a coherent organism, whose elements should be trained immediately.

Exercises for strong legs: Anyone can do it!

The legs are still missing at the end of the exercise. After all, they are part of our body too, right? They carry us wherever we want, so we should train them too to make them even stronger. Sometimes you only need a pole to lean on or a chair to support. So you have no reason not to go through this workout with four exercises.

This is how the stars train: Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth & Co.

How do the stars actually train? Do they have other workouts than we do? Have a look at what we found. From Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth to Tom Ellis.
