A member asked:

If you kiss someone who smokes marijuana on a daily basis everyday ...will you get any kind of infections from kissing ..viral or bacterial?

10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Same for NONSMOKERS: You can get bacterial and viral infections by kissing ANYBODY at ANY TIME. It's not the marijuana that places anybody at risk for "kissing" diseases rather it's the bacterial/viral content of the KISSED or KISSING mouth that really counts.
