Marijuana is neither the dangerous drug some governments make it out to be, nor the miracle drug some activists make it out to be. When taken in moderation by a physically and mentally healthy person, both positive and adverse effects are close to negligible.
So, for most people, it's just a somewhat healthier way to get a buzz than drinking. For some (asthmatics, people with mental health problems), it's risky. For others (people undergoing chemo, people suffering from MS, people suffering from glaucoma) it can have significant benefits.

+1, just because smoking is not known to cause lung cancer doesn't mean it's not bad for you. I love how people ignore the fact that Marijuana smoke has CARBON MONOXIDE, TAR and 400+ known chemicals. A couple studies showing one or two benefits doesn't mean it's GOOD for you. A beer / glass a wine a day is good for your heart, that doesn't mean drinking is good for you.
