Granted, you won't incur much risk from one off exposure, but what about children who grow up in households where weed is smoked regularly? They will be exposed to secondhand smoke regularly, and although you won't get high from inhaling the smoke, there are still risks, much like with secondhand cigarette smoke.
It is not valid to say "My granddad has smoked weed for over 50 years, and is not dead, therefore weed is not unhealthy." Not everyone who smokes it will develop bronchitis, stroke, cancer, mental health issues etc. Enough will for it to be a health risk.
first off weed second hand smoke is nothing like a cigarette, unless youre hotboxing, youre not getting high from someones second hand weed smoke. You dont see people hot boxing cigarettes do you? no, because they don't want cancer. You see people hot boxing weed, why? Because 9/10 worse thing that's going to happen to you is you're getting a ticket. Doesnt matter what it is obviously putting smoke into your lungs is bad, if you dont already understand that before going in youre probably just stupid. The question is if I can smoke a cigarette that has been proven multiple times over and over to cause so much harm, and take lives, why is it that I cant legally smoke something that has a much much much much lower risk to take my life or someone else around's life and even help me with my depression and illnesses? But that cigarette that is killing children daily is alright?
