Ok... There are a lot of potential adverse events from marijuana. The asthma and lung effects and house burning down from lit cigarette on mattress only apply to smoked not eaten marijuana. This is an illustration that not all adverse events apply to all people. The effects on IQ and psychological effects could apply to anyone using any type. Some of these effects are more predominant when first using marijuana. Most are dose dependent and one use a day makes them less likely.
