AbstractHuman beings have used marijuana products for centuries. Relatively recent data showing extensive cannabinoid receptors, particularly in the brain, help to explain the impacts of cannabinoids on symptoms/diseases, such as pain and seizures, with major nervous system components. Marijuana can cause bronchitis, but a moderate body of literature suggests that distal airway/parenchymal lung disease does not occur; marijuana does not cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and probably does not cause lung cancer, distinctly different from tobacco. Potentials for cognitive impairment and for damage to the developing brain are contextually important as its beneficial uses are explored.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
