  cultivated plants and there is quite a lot to
  educate oneself about this greatly historical
  plant. In the United States, marijuana is a
  mainstream social issue as advocates of
  legalizing weed argue it is safer than alcohol
  while opponents make the case that marijuana is a
  gateway drug that does the body harm. How safe is
  marijuana? The jury is still out. While there is
  research suggesting weed is bad for you, there

•  Lungs Health - Conventional wisdom generally
  says inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for your
  lungs, and, to that end, smoking marijuana is
  just as bad for your health as smoking tobacco
  cigarettes.The study, published in the Journal
  of the American Medical Association, examined
  5,115 men and women over the course of two
  decades between March 26, 1985 and August 19,
  2006. The data also showed that high-use of the
  plant, about one joint every day for 7 years, had
  little to no negative impact on lung air flow
  rates or lung volume. Whats shocking is that
  there is evidence pointing to slight increases in
  lung air flow rates as well as enhancements in
  lung volume from occasional marijuana use
  positive effects of marijuana many wouldnt
  believe.

  causing the munchies, it turns out that despite
  all the snacking, there isn't much need for
  concern about weight gain.According to science,
  in fact, smoking marijuana might cause people to
  lose weight.According to a new study by
  researchers from San Diego State University and
  Cornell, states in which laws were passed
  permitting medical marijuana, there was a decline
  in obesity in the state. In fact, legalizing
  medical marijuana is associated with a 2-6
  percent decrease in the probability. And places
  that adopted medical marijuana also saw a decline
  of 58 to 115 in per-person costs related to
  obesity.
