It sounds to me like nobody really knows what the long-term effects are. We hear about studies that suggest that smoking marijuana can be hazardous to your health, and we hear just as many stories from people who used marijuana for years and have had no bad side effects. I don't think there is any way to end this argument--there are always skeptics who will deny research as "lies from the government" and there are always lurking variables in even the best planned experiments.
My personal opinion? Anything that screws with your mind like that can't be good. I just stay away from all drugs, with the exception of caffeine.
