Being 'high' when you're thinking about it is 60% of the best time to answer such Q's,
so find a quite spot, roll one up, and contemplate.
Come back tomorrow and tell us what you know...

It puts tar in your lungs if you smoke it, so if your worried about that make some brownies or buy a vaporizer

It is very bad for you if you get busted with it....

Sadly.

All the members here already summarized these pos and negeffects of blazing cannabis to a good extent over the past nearly 5 years of posts so--search the posts. In summary of their posts: Pos = enjoyable/euphoria feelings, improved concentration on performing 'single tasks' (only), analgesic treatment for most all variety of short-term& chronic pains, vision medication glaucoma, learning about the co-evolution of cerebral neuro-receptors and hallucinogenic phyto-chemicals in medicinal plants (this a topic of research perhaps too esoteric for this post), and getting high is fun. Neg = red eyes/slant eye-lid muscle parasympathteic suppression (that "stoner look"), legal and financial problems of getting convicted of possession (4 yrs ago we had just purch 2 nice quarters, driving back was stopped long story and had one of my quater sacks stomped and ground into the pavement by the policeman--I KNOW he kept my other quatert sac) so we lost $50 and issued a citation and I was scared if they took my driver licen but no 'intent to distribute', excessive blazing without taking a break every now and then will cause upper respiratory tract singe (nasal mucosa) and lower respirtaory tract --lung alveoli and bronchioles to singe so take time to recover, excessive use (abuse) will cause short-term memory loss---that is why I'm signing off now because I FORGOT what I'm typing here?

The short answer is no, marijuana is not bad for you. A lot of people will say that the fact that smoke enters the lungs means that it's negative to health, but this is irrelevant when one considers that THC counteracts the cancerous effects, and that marijuana smoking hasn't been credibly tied to serious lung, or any type of damage.

True, but this is only temporary. After ceasing use for a couple weeks, this reverses and memory returns to normal.

Versus not using cannabis at all, it is bad for you. And law enforcement. On it's own, table salt poses more of a threat to your health.

1. It costs money

2. It leaves you impaired.

3. It's illegal and most states have harsh penalties.

4. Unless you're a medical user, you don't *need* it, so in a purely logical sense, it would be your best bet to not bother with it for the above reasons.

Almost all of the health effects of cannabis use are temporary, and methods of ingestion are a huge issue. You can harm yourself or others when smoking heavily, by accident usually. Or you could do something incredibly stoner-like and regret it.

To some extent, cannabis use is not harmless. But it's harmless enough that casual use will not hurt you in any imaginable way really.

this is true but not nearly as bad as tobacco.
studies show that there are next to no long term effects when it comes to marijuana.
i could go deeper in to the subject but i would be typing for hours.
