Question by : Is marijuana harmful to your health?
I just watched the movie “Super High Me” (its like Supersize Me, but with pot for 30 days) and am wondering what peoples views on the long-term positive/negative effects and the short-term negative effects. (I know what the short-term positive effects are 🙂 )
Thanks Jillian for the info. I appreciate when people take time to answer questions, using support from sources.

Anna, you have to justify your answer. You cant just say “Its bad” if you haven’t researched it, tried it, or have any other evidence.

Thanks again Jillian.
