This is a copy of the report of the national commission of ganja for the Jamaican government.

Briefly, the only real "side effects" were bronchitis-like symptoms from smoking (this is believed to occur because of the actual burning of the plant material.) If the plant is vaporized or smoked through a water bong the amount of carcinogen removal is near 99%.

Also, people who had a predisposition to schizophrenia who smoked weed had the onslaught of the symptoms occur sooner.

With regards to driving, the only correlation between weed and bad driving was that the fatal accidents with people that tested positive for THC also tested positive for alcohol in their systems. Therefore they could not conclude that the chemical THC was the direct or even a contributing factor in the crash. Remember, THC is stored in the fatty tissue of the body and will remain (inactively) in the system for weeks.
