I was waiting to see if this post got out of control before responding lol. I'm glad to see its remained respectful.
Anyhow, I've personally never done it but know many people who have. For me, it was never something I wanted to try, smoke (from anything) irritates my throat, sinuses and head so I avoid it.
I've known people that were such big pot heads that that's all they did ... ever! I know others that are professional and are high functioning and smoke occassionally.
As for health risks, I'm not convinced that pot is any worse than alcohol. Like cigarettes its not good for your lungs but it also helps people with cancer (and other illnesses) to be able to function. So, I'm actually torn on this subject. I believe its an individual thing, your personality, your physiology, your vulnerability to addiction, curiosity about other drugs and mental illness. Like has been said I would worry about the purity of it as well. Because it isn't legal in the US it isn't regulated.
OK, not sure I added much of anything lol. I guess my point is, its not for me and has its negative effects but its helped some people and its not my place to say anything other than be careful.
