Sure, but what chemicals do we have that are safer? Pretty much all of our over the counter drugs will fuck you up long term if taken regularly, and lots of them are acutely dangerous.
I mean basically any serotonergic/classical psychedelic is safer. Caffeine I am fairly sure is safer too. So there are some examples. Admittedly it’s still safer than a lot of other stuff, but it’s also not the most safe especially when smoked.
I mean smoking anything will cause cancer but there’s no reason to think weed taken orally isn’t one of the most safe chemicals we have.
There’s actually evidence to the contrary, but weed as a whole hadn’t really been studied enough to say with certainty: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24118193/ & https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6793471/

We can name the chemical to make sure we don’t think about smoking it. For example, I wouldn’t say this for THC. But weed is usually smoked.
