So is it safe to inhale the smoke from this weed? Many will say yes, to justify its use, but then you have other testimonies from those that used it, as in this article:

19-year-old Johnny had dinner with his parents. He turned to his mother and said, “I just want you to know you were right about the marijuana. You told me it would hurt my brain, and it has ruined my mind and my life. I’m sorry, I love you.”

Three days later, Johnny jumped off a parking garage and died.

Who you believe is your choice, of course. Most people do not want to accept the testimonies from those who say anything negative about the weed.

They know it has hallucinogenic effects, but they refuse to accept that it's having a negative affect on the cognitive capabilities, and that's just ridiculous. If you're ingesting chemicals that are altering your brain's chemistry, it stands to reason that it's going to have unintended consequences down the road. It's no different than the people who know they're literally drawing smoke into their lungs, but can't imagine that it'll affect their lungs' ability to function down the road.
