MYTH: MARIJUANA IS MORE DAMAGING TO THE LUNGS THAN TOBACCO. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema.

FACT: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana. However, because researchers have found precancerous changes in cells taken from the lungs of heavy marijuana smokers, the possibility of lung cancer from marijuana cannot be ruled out. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

Assuming you aren't referring to crack, don't be too hard on yourself for smoking pot. Trust me, it's one of the most harmless drugs out there - even more harmless than alcohol. I smoked anywhere from 1/8 ounce to 1/4 ounce a day for a couple years before I quit, and on top of all the other stuff I've done, I haven't noticed any physical or mental damage other than the fact that I have lucid dreams now when I sleep. Pots biggest danger is the fact that it makes being bored fun. And when you're having fun while being bored you don't learn or accomplish anything, and it's easy to sit around all day and get out of shape. Assuming you didn't smoke nearly as much as I did, your lungs are fine and you shouldn't lose any sleep over it. You just got out of shape from sitting around too much and giving into the munchies. Just start working out again. Start out slow and over time you'll be back to normal. If you have any questions about different drugs, effects, addiction, etc., just ask me. I'm quite the expert on it.
