My son tells me there are both short and long term damages that smoking pot can cause. He had to take substance abuse courses in College for his major, as well as undergo training for dealing with substance abusers, in his job. the neural pathways are affected, but what is worse, the person using the drug has a lowered inhibition level, so he feels he is in control when he is not. This can lead to other activities that are completely and unquestionably assur. The health issue aside, the emotional impact of doing drugs should not be discounted. As with alcoholism, the abuser never believes he has a problem. (I write “he”, but it can just as likely be a girl using drugs).
