weed can make your testacles smaller, if you. 2nd hand smoke is worse than actually smoking. If you need to try drugs and dont..try peyote..which has no ill effects unless you are a depressed person....read Doors of Perception:Heaven&Hell

From Wikipedia, cause I am not a doctor:
Unlike tobacco, cannabis has not been shown to cause emphysema, lung cancer, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Other studies have suggested that cannabis may be less likely to cause birth defects or developmental delays in the children of users than other drugs. According to a United Kingdom government report, using cannabis is less dangerous than both tobacco and alcohol in social harms, physical harm and addiction.
In addition, there are products that you can buy in other countries that vastly enhance and make smoking marijuana MUCH safer than through a pipe or bong.
http://www.77seeds.com/volcano.php is one such device.
Edit: In response to all the "Your brain will die!!!!!" quacks:
From Wikipedia:
Dr. Pierre-Bernard Roques determined that, "former results suggesting anatomic changes in the brain of chronic cannabis users, measured by tomography, were not confirmed by the accurate modern neuro-imaging techniques," (like MRI). "Moreover, morphological impairment of the hippocampus [which plays a part in memory and navigation] of rat after administration of very high doses of THC (Langfield et al., 1988) was not shown (Slikker et al., 1992)" (translated). He concluded that cannabis does not have any neurotoxicity as defined in the report, unlike alcohol and cocaine.

yes it is bad but it causes less stress on the body and better memory A blunt is equal to about 10 cigarettes. A regular joint is equal to 4

Yes, it's bad for you! No, it doesn't cause the things you mention, but it does cause you to be come lethargic and, for the most part, useless. That can be a life long condition. It can also lead to the use of other more dangerous drugs. Stay away from weed and all illicit drugs.

the statistics show that 50-60% of the users turn into a schizophrenic situation. and about 5% suffer Heart attack (less than smoking tabacco, but this 5% is clearly related to weed)
