Marijuana Smoke Not as Dangerous as Tobacco

Not that many people didn't already know or think that...but apparently you have to smoke twenty joints per month in order to have decreased lung function...and smoking less than that can actually INCREASE lung capacity...maybe. The study is not totally conclusive and scientists resist to say that this proves anything as the differences could be accounted for by other variables between test subjects, but it is promising.

Not permission to start smoking pot regularly says doctors, as it does have adverse effects on mood, activity and can lead to other drug problems and dependency in some users, but one doctor does say that the study shows that "we still have a lot to learn about this complex psychoactive plant" and that we shouldn't hold ourselves to previously held assumptions of the substance.
