Today's Question
Still smokin’: What are the long-term effects of marijuana?
Though far from being an all-out pothead, I occasionally smoke a little smoke and, to the best of my knowledge, have never experienced any ill effects (aside from that way natty brownie I ate on my 18th birthday). I have however heard a ton of nonsense on the subject concerning brain cancer, sterility, mental disorders, and, thanks to one fanatically religious friend, death and damnation. Being a reasonably health-conscious guy, I was wondering, what serious physical or mental effects could smoking marijuana have on me?
