Only for medical use, being harmful enough as it is:
In July 2007, British medical journalThe Lancetpublished a study that indicates that cannabis users have, on average, a 41% greater risk of developing psychosis than non-users. The risk was most pronounced in cases with an existing risk of psychotic disorder, and was said to grow up to 200% for the most-frequent users.
Cannabis use has been linked to exacerbating the effects ofdepression,psychosis,schizophrenia,bronchitis, andemphysemaby severalpeer-reviewedstudies for those who are vulnerable to such illnesses based on personal or family history.More recently, theDunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Studypublished research showing an increased risk of psychosis for cannabis users with a certain genetic predisposition, held by 25% of the population.
In contrast, a study published in the January 2008 edition of the journal Respirology found that "regular" cannabis smokers who developed bullouslung diseasedid so on average 24 years sooner than tobacco smoking counterparts.Researchers attributed this to the inhalation of a larger volume of smoke, and typically holding it for four times longer than tobacco smokers. Bullous lung disease is considered an uncommon cause of respiratory distress.In general, habitual inhalation of any kind of smoke is detrimental to lung health.
A recent study by the Canadian government found cannabis contained more toxic substances than tobacco smoke.The study determined that marijuana smoke contained 20 times moreammonia, and five times morehydrogen cyanideandnitrous oxidesthan tobacco smoke.
A 2008 study by theNational Institutes of Healthsuggested a link between chronic marijuana smoking and increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
