There's a hangover that's more subtle than an alcohol hangover but it leaves you mentally foggy for a day or two afterwards, so if you smoke weed a lot, you're always a bit out of it. I never used it during the school year or when I was working because I had to be sharp and be able to get stuff done.
Inhaling combustion products is never going to be good for you, although even George Clinton probably doesn't smoke 20 joints a day like with cigarettes.
That said, if you're going to use drugs, then weed is by far the least harmful.

@RemovedUsername8862 oh yeah, between weed and alcohol it's no contest

A systematic study of marijuana and its effects on lung function suggested physiologic data were inconclusive regarding an association between long-term marijuana smoking and airflow obstruction measures. Long-term marijuana smoking is associated with increased respiratory symptoms suggestive of obstructive lung disease.
However, the adverse impact of marijuana smoking on pulmonary function and respiratory complications has not been systematically assessed.
This can be mitigated with vaporizing. Marijuana can affect memory function when smoked chronically in adolescent patients but hasn't been shown to have the same effects in those older than their early 20's.

Smoking anything puts carcinogens into your lungs.
Over use of it has been linked to depression and anxiety. (Alcohol is also like this)
It's not a chemically dependent substance, but it is habit forming.
Delayed reactions measured up to 30 days after use (I personally think that timeline is insane, but it was the study was on pilots so it does make it feel pretty important)
I'm sure there is other things we don't know like development problems, but we haven't collected enough data on it.
Basically, use it responsibly... Kinda like alcohol

You hear a lot of talk about drugs these
days—at school, in the streets, on the
Internet and TV. Some of it is true, some not.
What you may not know is that much of what
you hear about drugs actually comes from
those selling them. Former drug dealers have
said they would tell people anything to get
them to buy drugs.
You need the real facts and the truth about
drugs so you can make an informed decision
about them. That is why we have prepared this
booklet—for you.

@masterofyou Dude, you're back? And still pushing propaganda? I'd thought you'd gone off to browbeat someone else! Good to see you again, the ol' thread just wouldn't be the same.

@RemovedUsername8862 Go peddle your drugs some other place... I'm not interested what you have to say... GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@masterofyou Yeah, people die. People die all the time, and for any number of reasons. I've worked on an ambulance, and I've worked in a hospice, and I've volunteered in a homeless outreach center, and I have yet to see somebody die from pot. Opiates are the real killers, them and ketamine. If you want to go and rage about the evils of drugs, go yell at some pillheads or golden-arms, and leave stoners alone.

@RemovedUsername8862 if it's legal where you and you can grow fresh you'll have many opportunities to utilize it in many ways and benefit in different ways depending on how it's consumed.
but if you're going to bake, cook... use it in a butter element so on, you must know your chemistry :D
eating it raw may not get you toasted but... in that state it's very high in iron, zinc, b-12/6 and it's got good enzymes the blood stream and organ tissues will love.
it's great for the colon also.

@sighmeupforthat Huh, I didn't know that! Well, come Jan 1st, it'll be legal, but the people I live with are really pot-unfriendly, so that'll have to change too.

@sighmeupforthat the impending legalization in Canada may actually help out the local economy a lot. It's only economical to grow high-value crops here and farming was decimated by the railway connection to the economies of scale possible on the gargantuan farms of the prairies. But we have a longer growing season and a much milder winter.

To an extent. Smoking always decreases lung function and introduces particulates to the lung tissue. THC can trigger certain Schizophrenia genes if one has them present in their DNA, but at the same time CBD suppresses them. Heavy use can cause some hormone disruption, but it's low and really only occurs with extremely long term heavy, heavy use. While not addictive it can become a crutch.
Over-all though it's fairly benign compared to most other intoxicants.
