Many chemicals (such as tin, lead, gold) have harmful effects on the body, especially in high doses.

Marijuana • Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. • Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke. • Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers.
