No. Really. Even candies produce caries.
What's sure is that to make you feel better, cannabis affects your brain connections in some way. Now I wonder if it does make you feel better with no consequences, or if it rather damages the brain. Ah, and this is what I mean with contradictory information: Pro-Cannabis and Anti-Cannabis sides.

Now, on the what it exactly does, I've got no idea. I'd like to have a neutral view on this, but unfortunately you've seen both sides seem to "dramatize" the effects the plant has when smoked. But "brain cancer is a side effect of Cannabis", they're not saying that just because.

From my observation and study on the topic, I don't find cannabis to be bad enough to warrant the current laws against it. It is not addictive the way cigarettes are addictive (people may develop psychological addictions to cannabis, as they may to other substances like caffeine) and you don't have the danger of overdosing that you have with excess alcohol consumption.
I say legalize it and regulate its use as we do with cigarettes and alcohol. This would also add the benefit of largely eliminating the black market that accompanies the current legal state of cannabis.

Cannabis - Evil Weed or Wonder Plant?
The thing is I don't think brain cancer is particularly common, yet lots more people than you think partake in taking it.

It's great, and really, far less dangerous than legal substances. There's no reason to keep it illegal, ironically governments actually ignore a large source of potential income by doing so compared to the money they could make if it was legal, regulated and taxed, which would result in lower prices, guaranteed supply and quality, and better availability. The only people who would lose out are the people who currently profit off production and sales, who could easily perform it legally if they wanted to if it was legalised.

Most people mix cannabis with tobacco and I'm sure that would create more lung problems than if you just smoked Cannabis by itself..Unfortunately many find it to be too strong by itself. I think that Cannabis is in comparison safer than tobacco and not nearly as addictive..You never see programs designed to wean people off Cannabis..
