Long term effects of marijuana use?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of some studies/evidence sort of thing that showed long term use of marijuana didn't cause negative health problems. Or really anything to show what the long term effects were.

LOL.
Reduced lung capacity, can leave you feeling like shit if you abuse it. Otherwise:

If you abuse it, I'm talking absurd amounts daily, over a long period of time. Or if your bud is not grown organically or flushed correctly you can be left inhaling the fertilizers and what not.
But believe it or not, cannabis is actually good for the lungs..
Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and the phlegm associated with tobacco use. Marijuana smoke effectively dilates the airways of the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes - making cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population (the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions).Statistical evidence - showing up consistently as anomalies in matched populations - indicates that people who smoke tobacco cigarettes are usually better off and will live longer if they smoke cannabis moderately, too. Millions of Americans have given up or avoided smoking tobacco products in favor of cannabis, which is not good news to the powerful tobacco lobby - Senator Jesse Helms and his cohorts. A turn-of-the-century grandfather clause in U.S. tobacco law allows 400 to 6,000 additional chemicals to be added. Additions since then to the average tobacco cigarette are unknown, and the public in the U.S. has no right to know what they are. Many joggers and marathon runners feel cannabis use cleans their lungs, allowing better endurance. The evidence indicates that cannabis use will probably increase these outlaw American marijuana-users' lives by about one to two years - yet they may lose their rights, property, children, state licenses, etc., just for using that safest of substances: cannabis.
So toke up

Remember that too much of a good thing is bad. Just use moderation.

Just light up and blaze and don't smoke cigaretes cigaretes are sucha waste of time. Atleast you get stoned on weed and it lasts long enough that you don't need to crave a smoke every 30 minutes

My friend took mushrooms once a long time ago and he had kids and his son was born with 2 dicks, 3 balls, and 1 titty, gruesome shit!
And the kid went on to take acid now he thinks he's a cup of orange juice and is afraid to be knocked over,
AND THEN he smoked some weed,
so now he's a GAY CUP OF ORANGE JUICE!
Now to cope with all this,
he goes to gay strip clubs and binges on ecstasy,
and now he's so e-tarded he can't remember his name anymore!
Such a fucked up situation, I really feel for the guy.

I was gay before I started smoking. Does that mean if I keep smoking I'm going to loop around back to straight?
