Depends: Like anything in life, excessive use of marijuana or any cannabis product can be harmful. Smoked cannabis can lead to the same carcinogenic risk that smoked tobacco use gives. So non smoked is safer. It has long been known that chronic daily marijuana use also leads to issues with poor follow through on daily tasks and the "pothead" syndrome that leads to poverty. Lastly, psychosis remains a risk.

LUNGS: Deeply inhaling from a joint or a bong can most certainly affect the lungs. Plus, can you trust your supplier; what else is in there?
