are evidence of health damages for smoking marijuana, but they are not alarming
from any viewpoint. Air pollution puts rather high risk to health compared to
smoked marijuana.
·
3-4 Cannabis cigarettes a day are associated with the same
evidence of acute and chronic bronchitis and the same degree of damage to the
bronchial mucosa as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day.
·
Patients receiving cannabinoids [smoked marijuana and marijuana
pills] had improved immune function compared with those receiving placebo. They
also gained about 4 pounds more on average than those patients receiving
placebo.
·
On the other hand, reports of opportunistic fungal and bacterial
pneumonia in AIDS patients who used marijuana suggest that marijuana smoking either
suppresses the immune system or exposes patients to an added burden of
pathogens.

What Physicians Think
The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain
types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as
multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS -- or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to
treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less
toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day.
Anyhow, there is still some doubt over the effectiveness of the
drug. In fact, some physicians still believe that medical marijuana is a
dangerous drug and it should be used with caution.
What Government Officials Believe
Government officers admitted that the drug has proven
effectiveness against depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. However,
smoked marijuana should be strongly prohibited as it damages, heart, brain,
lungs and immune system.
