Also, keep in mind that living in smog-filled cities actually does quite a bit of harm. Ground-level ozone and particulate matter can do far more damage than most people realize.

But anyway, the main thing I'm trying to emphasize in this thread is this: smoking pot in moderation isn't all that bad, but in large quantities, it simply isn't good for your health. The same as with most enjoyable things, really.
