If there where "real" problems from smoking pot then why would doctors prescribe it to there cancer patients
US Drug Enforcement Agency, in 1988, declared that "in its natural form, (cannabis) is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known."
Specifically to the United States, it was used legally for medicinal use for many things including birth-giving, chronic pain, and some other known conditions before 1942, when its use was essentially outlawed from The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.

As others have said, brain cells die. The negative effects are cumulative, but in time this can contribute to significant memory loss.
There's a correlation between smoking marijuana and various lung problems, from emphysema to lung cancer, largely due to the user deliberately holding smoke in the lungs far longer than cigarette smokers do.
Those are long-term issues. A more immediate issue is that many daily users find they lose interest in anything that requires much effort. They hold jobs and do them well, for instance, but make no effort to advance in the workplace or to learn new job skills. Interest in sex often diminishes or disappears. (Yikes!) They may have no real interests they pursue, no hobbies, few friends, very few activities that take them out of the house. There's an increased likelihood that the daily user doesn't get exercise, which can contribute to depression and the subsequent need to smoke to feel "normal" or "good."
None of which is a serious problem now, but adds up to going through the motions of living without really doing it. In your shoes, I'd sure prefer my friend smoked recreationally rather than as a daily way of life.

There are definitely long term problems with daily pot smoking. One joint/blunt is equal to 4 or more cigarettes (depending on the amount and quality of THC) and there are numerous consequences for any inhaled smoke. Memory loss, mood swings,and other psychiological issues are also a factor

nope, as long as she is keeping an active lifestyle there is no evidence that smoking pot daily contributes to any health risks, other than lung cancer of course.

it effects everyone differently. But if she is functioning normally, she is just fine. As long as she doesn't get lazy and worthless. Let her have her lil smoke in her life.

Well brain cells also die from being over stressed so if a joint calms one down then that sounds allright to me.

no, a joint every day isn't gonna hurt anyone. It relaxes you, kind of like having a glass of wine after work just to unwind.

Lung damage for sure. But what could be more important than a clear mind?
