The Dangers of Marijuana: The Long-Term Harm
When studies are not final concerning the long-term effects of the chronic marijuana usage, outcomes to date reveal users will develop:
- Persistent coughing up phlegm production;

The most stupid part of this article
first many studies show that cannabinoids have anti-tumor properties not only in vitro but also in in vivo models.
also studies looking at lung funtction except few flawed(with errors in methodology) dont find any assocation, the same we can say about immune function
"that cause more sick days as well as doctor visits than the non-users" where is reference to this study? because any epidemiological study show that what more animal studies shows opposite that animals treated with cannabinoid have better immune function and lower incidence of infection.
