It makes people lazy. However, its ill effects do not exceed those of alcohol or tobacco.

>>weed does not MAKE people lazy, it’s just when you start smoking alllll day everyday is when laziness sets in.<< Right so you just admitted that it does. I didn't specify an amount. If smoking weed all day everyday makes you lazy then weed makes people lazy.

Not as bad as other drugs, however anytime you burn something and inhale it you are inhaling carcinogens.
