Smoking marijuana regularly (a joint a day) can damage the cells in the bronchial passages which protect the body against inhaled microorganisms and decrease the ability of the immune cells in the lungs to fight off fungi, bacteria, and tumor cells.
Regular smoking has been shown to materially affect the overall ability of the
smokers
body to defend itself against infection by weakening various natural immune mechanisms, including
macrophages (mac-
ro
-phages) a.k.a
. "killer cells
"
and the all-important T-cells.
Slide20Health Concerns: WHAT ARE THE MEDICAL DANGERS OF MARIJUANA USE?

cancer
The effects also include chronic bronchitis, impairment in the function of the smaller air passages, inflammation of the
lungs,
the development of potentially pre-cancerous abnormalities in the bronchial lining and lungs, and, as discussed, a reduction in the capabilities of many defensive mechanisms within the lungs.
Slide21Health Concerns: WHAT ARE THE MEDICAL DANGERS OF MARIJUANA USE?
Marijuana smoke and cigarette smoke contain many of the same toxins, including one which has been identified as a key factor in the promotion of lung cancer. This toxin is found in the tar phase of both, and it should be noted that one joint has four times more tar than a cigarette, which means that the lungs are exposed four-fold to this toxin and others in the tar.
