There are no absolute proven facts about the long-term effects of marijuana. The obvious short-term effects are memory loss, euphoria, slow reaction time (which is why you should not drive under the influence of any drug), forgetfulness, laughing when nothing is funny, etc. But there are proven facts that show that cannabis has healing properties, such as pain management. To find out more about long and short term effects, I suggest going to www.Google.com for research. But I warn you, there are so many conflicting viewpoints that you may get confused. You will just have to come up with your own theory.

It has a painkilling effect, can cause deep relaxation and an altered perception of time it will stimulate your appetite (munchies)and can cause fatigue and disorientation. if you smoke loads you can make your self sick known as a 'whitey'.

My answer:

The effects are different for every person. Some common effects also include a deficiency in estimating distance (if you smoke a LOT of marijuana), and a distorted sense of time, not in the sense that everything is in slow/fast motion, more in the sense of, "Woah, only 3 minutes have gone by." These effects are caused by increased THC-laiden blood flow to the brain, which increases oxygen flow, which also helps create the effects associated with cannabis intoxication.

Marijuana being harmful is a debatable topic. Some say it increases the potential for some cancers (it has also been known to decrease the risk for some) some say it can affect short term memory, reduce concentration etc. Some of the harm is not the pot necessarily but the manner in which it is taken (eg Joints are potentially more harmful as you are smoking the paper the weed is wrapped in. While if weed is strained into cannabutter and put in food it will not affect your lungs in any way) It is impossible to overdose on Marijuana.

Please note that marijuana is not legal in many countries and if you live in the US, it is not legal to have for personal use anywhere.
