It does have some drawbacks, but all medications do. I'm sure there will be some pharmaceutical medication based on marijuana that has a longer effect and is less likely to cause unwanted effects.
I do think chronic marijuana use can damage the brain some and eventually impair things like short term memory. My main concern is that it could make depression worse in the long run. But if I use it periodically, I won't be too concerned about the effects on memory or long term mental/physical health. I'm really looking forward to trying my friend's alcohol based tincture. Like I said, it will be valuable for the nights when I want to go out and socialize.
