Hi,

Marijuana is not safe, whether it is taken orally or smoked. It will certainly be better for your lungs if you eat it rather than smoke it. But please do not be under the misconception that marijuana is not harmful. It can cause or worsen many mental illnesses including anxiety and psychosis. It also slows down mental faculties. I would advise that you do not let this become a habit.

Best wishes.
