No, there are no proven long-term effects. If smoked a lot, however, it is possible to get schizophrenia so be aware. (NOTE: the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia is not true. The study that proposed that there could be a relation between the two was based on a small study and has not been verified with a larger population study.)

The largest study of the health effects of marijuana to date was done by Kaiser Permanente. They studied the health records of 65,000 patients over a number of years. They found no significant differences between the health histories of those who smoked pot versus those who did not smoke marijuana. See the related link on

Marijuana and Mortality below.

Every major government commission report on marijuana from around the world over the last 100 years has concluded that marijuana prohibition was based on racism, ignorance, and nonsense. They all said the marijuana laws should have been repealed long ago because they do more harm than good. They all said that marijuana is not a significant danger to health, even when used regularly for decades. See the related link on Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy below.

Yes, pot can damage reproductive organs and cause damage to the lungs. The more serious long-term consequences, though, are the decisions you make while on drugs...low grades, poor relationship choices, etc.....

Well, smoking pot can be very hazardous and harmful to the body and the brain of the person who chooses to smoke pot. However, the damages will reside in the person's body for a very long time.

Marijuana and it effects when you start at age 12 and you grow up using it?

Starting any drug at a young age can distort mental development - particularly with marijuana, this has been shown many times over to be a negative effect of long-term and/or heavy usage - and can lead to several mental disorders in older age. Some claims are made that smoking marijuana can also stunt bodily growth, but this is probably related to the act of smoking in general and not the marijuana itself.

How does marijuana affect your hypothyroid?

I also have hypothyroidism and have been smoking for over ten years. I don't really think it does affect it specifically. Not anymore than the usual side effects from low thyroid or smoking do. I just wanted to update this answer. (I am not the original respondant.) I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago after suffering symptoms for a few years. I smoke marijuana and I've noticed a definite affect. For me, marijuana can sometimes bring on negative effects. Nothing life-threatening (that I know of) but very uncomfortable. In addition to the normal panic and anxiety that sometimes hits me from smoking, I can also get neck and jaw pain and an overall sort of "twitchiness" and trembling in my hands. It also seems to make me really cold sometimes. FOr me, smoking marijuana is a roll of the dice. Sometimes I'll smoke and everything is fine and enjoyable. Other times it's miserable. Just my two cents!
