Is cannabis really harmless?

[smokeblunts3]

I belive it is. So i'm doing my research paper in school to prove "Marijuana is not harmfull to your health." I need 5 sources 2 can be from the internet. Can anyone give me some sites that are valid and not biast on information about weed?? Or maybe some good books?

I wouldn't call it "harmless", just a very low amount of harm, especially compared to most mainstream legal drugs. It has incredibly low body toxicity, and zero neurotoxity. anywhoo, here's my collection of studies:
