According to researchers at Duke University, and senior author of the study, Terrie Moffitt, the only measures that seem to indicate any real serious health problem was periodontal disease. Anything you smoke, heats up your gums and causes inflammation and inflammation is bad for your teeth, she said. Notably, however, the researchers were unable to find a link between adult use of marijuana and poor lung function, systemic inflammation, body mass index, blood pressure and metabolic health. Essentially, the study has shown that people who smoked marijuana for up to 20 years, were as healthy as people who didnt smoke marijuana at all. The same research team found in a previous study, however, that marijuana users were at a higher risk of cognitive decline and decent into lower social and economic strata, but the side effects end there since there doesnt seem to be physical health issues related to marijuana use. Simply from observing these studies and personal observation of the world around them, it is clear that the drug war is infinitely more dangerous to both marijuana users and non-users, than the plant could ever be.
