Blaze up everybody...........

Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term, one central root of the phrase stems from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971; the teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue.[3][4] The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis!",[5] and became popularized in the late 1980s by fans of The Grateful Dead.[6] Many North American cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[7][8][9] In some locations this celebration coincides with Earth Week.[10][11][12]

yeah....until someone dies from smoking marijuana (a 100% organic organism), i feel that it is in fact "Harmless"...even though no matter what your lungs aren't a chimney so smoke will cause slight respitory problems.....but it will also open up the wind pipe and make it easier for people with asthma to breath....

thats if it doesn't cause them to go into a coughing fit which leads to a asthma attack and puts them in the hospital.

The damage done to the lungs by marijuana smoke isn't permanent.

why do you say that marijuana does not give permanent damage to the lungs. but it does to the brain though.

No, it doesn't to either. I say it, because it's true. I just watched a documentary about a man who had smoked pot (no cigs) for 20 years and his lungs were at 89%. After quitting smoking for 30 days, his lungs were back to 92%. As for the brain, the area effected by the marijuana is the only part of the brain that regenerates brain cells. Which is why marijuana is being considered to treat Alzheimer's patients, because the Alzheimer's disease also effects that same part of the brain.
