Is the smell of marijuana left on clothing harmful?

NO: Marijuana is a medicinal herb with many beneficial properties. Like all substances the smoke does have some toxins but also has beneficial compounds that help counterbalance the toxins. I know of no evidence that the smell of residues left on clothing are harmful.
