Cannabis is not physically addictive (as heroin is) but is commonly accepted as psychologically addictive in around 10% of users. This means it can lead to dependency problems.
The long term effects are also a problem. Clinical studies have linked cannabis with an increased risk of mental health disorders, including schizophrenia and psychosis.
It is a common misconception that smoking cannabis is somehow less harmful than smoking cigarettes but experts from the British Lung Foundation believe smoking one cannabis joint has the same damaging effect on the lungs as five cigarettes. You're also at higher risk of lung cancer and emphysema if you smoke cannabis and other lung problems linked to the drug include bronchitis and asthma.
The theory that smoking cannabis leads to use of other drugs - known as the gateway theory - is hotly debated. A recent government report claimed that any gateway factor was too small to be a major risk.

Great Reply's Marco, Thanks for that

So, does that mean that the shops are allowed to buy via a drug dealer as opposed to some goverment source??
This worries me as there is no checks on the quality or safety issues
