The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment of the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding marijuana smoke to the Proposition 65 list1, effective June 19, 2009.

Marijuana smoke was considered by the Carcinogen Identification Committee of the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Science Advisory Board at a public meeting held on May 29, 2009. The CIC determined that marijuana smoke was clearly shown, through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles, to cause cancer. Consequently, marijuana smoke is being added to the Proposition 65 list, pursuant to Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 25305(a)(1) (formerly Title 22, California Code of Regulations, section 12305(a)(1)).

A complete, updated chemical list is published elsewhere in this issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register.

In summary, marijuana smoke is being listed under Proposition 65 as known to the State to cause cancer:

A California state board called marijuana smoke a health hazard and has added it to the state's list of environmental hazards, placing the drug alongside other carcinogens like arsenic, asbestos, and DDT, the San Jose Mercury News reported June 19.

Scientists at California's Office of Environmental Health Hazards Assessment studied research that linked marijuana smoke to different types of cancer, in particular head and neck cancers, concluding that marijuana smoke contains many of the harmful properties found in tobacco smoke.

Scientists found the pungent smoke shares many of the same harmful properties as tobacco smoke, warranting its inclusion on the Proposition 65 warning list. The law requires the state to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, and businesses and government agencies must post warnings when they use such chemicals or sell products containing them.

Marijuana smoke contains up to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. Users of marijuana almost invariably inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco users, which results in an extended exposure to the harmful chemicals inherent in the smoke.

"Marijuana smoke is a mixture of different chemicals, and a number of those were already on the Prop. 65 list," said Allan Hirsch, chief deputy director of the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, which made the designation.

Wow, people are marking all the comments down because of the truth in the video.

I had a friend whom I had known since childhood and ever since he started smoking marijuana his life began to go downhill. He's not the same person I knew since childhood.

5 stars for speaking up for children exposed to marijuana and for standing up to those who promote scandalizing these children.

Guardianoftheunborn, thank you very much for your comments!

This is sad...

I agree with this video. Weed does kill. There are plenty of traffic accidents to prove it. Has anyone ever gotten high & ran a red light or stop sign? Of course. How about gotten high & operated heavy machinery at work or home then had an "accident"? Of course.  Stoners aren't counting any deaths which are DIRECTLY related to being HIGH for some odd reason. It's sad for those who died by saying those who died don't count.
