Somewhat to very: Marijuana is no longer the mellow 70s drug that it is frequently referenced as. Growers have bred it to be many times as potent and sellers even lace it with other chemicals (bleach, formaldehyde, cocaine) to enhance the experience.

Less dangerous than: No herb or medication is totally safe. While there are some dangers associated with marijuana, it is much safer than alcohol, tobacco & other recreational drugs. Medical uses include pain, anxiety, insomnia & muscle spasms. I consider it to be safer than the pharmaceuticals that might be used instead. But it can have side effects & is not for everyone.

Depends: A large number of people in this country have used cannibas.Some get chained to their bong which is a dark place. Most have survived and many adult users do it recreationally. It depends on age, genes and how the environment impacts those genes. Churchill was accused of being a drunk in parliament -his words: "it has given more than it has taken away." if taking away, stop use; it's not crack.
