Marijuana an herb: Not much. It is less dangerous than all other illegal drugs, less dangerous than alcohol, and less dangerous than tylenol (acetaminophen) and aspirin. Now, that said, it can be addictive. And for those with the disease of addiction it can bring unwelcome despair. There has to also be some damage in the trachea and lungs from smoke. But, this damage is still undefined.
