Links fix'd, firefox screwed in copying.
And how do you KNOW there is no danger? You've provided nothing at all, everything you say is based off opinion. There are over 400 unique chemicals in marijuana, quite a lot of them potentially dangerous. It has been medically confirmed, as detailed in some of the articles, that it causes extreme excess blood flow to the brain for up to a month after smoking, which massively increases the risks of neurological disorders and blood-brain injuries over an extended period of time. You won't notice anything immediately, but it'll mean you are way more likely to end up with a stroke in later life, or something of the kind.
A lot of the links there detail how it leads to poor memory development and even damage over time. As I said, this is a part of the neurological side of things. There are even medical reports on it causes new cases of schizophrenia, and quite often relapses in people with existing cases.
Also regarding the whole inhalation thing... From the NHS, "Some people think cannabis is harmless because it’s a plant, but it isn’t harmless. Cannabis, like tobacco, has lots of chemical 'nasties', which, with long-term or heavy use, can cause lung disease and possibly cancer. The risk is greater because cannabis is often mixed with tobacco and smoked without a filter."
Also there is a lot detailed about how it dramatically increases blood rate and blood pressure, and I've done more than enough biology to know that this can end up being very harmful over time, makes myocardial infarcations (heart attacks) more likely.
