I have a college professor who told us that tobacco was a "natural sieve" for certain radioactive isotopes and that cannibis was more so. Don't ask me to quote a study for that - I can't.
But this article makes an erronious assumption that because fertilizers contain a product known to contain radium are used in tobacco production, that tobacco deposits more radioactive isotopes in the lungs of smokers than cannabis. Radium in varying levels is found in soils in many places, and is likely present in some levels in food and other argricultural products (read: cannibis) that is grown in areas with more naturally occuring radium and other isotopes in the soil.
The article also uses a red herring with the word "organic." Many people associate the word "organic" with "healthy," but just because something is "organic" does not mean it's healthy, nor does it having anything to do with the amount of radioactive isotopes it contains. You can make a skin cream with poison oak/ivy and call it "organic and 100 percent natural" since poison oak and poison ivy are 100 percent natural plants. That doesn't mean it is good for you.
