I don't think many people who have smoked marijuana in th past would say it has not harmful effects. I personally believe that marijuana has been demonized and is not as harmful as other drugs which are perfectly legal. This does NOT mean that no one ever needs help getting off of marijuana or that there are no risks to its use. Without demonizing the drug or blowing the risk out of proportion there is a danger to marijuana use and we can help someone handle that danger! Far fewer effects does not mean no effects.

Marijuana has FAR fewer negative side effects and even far fewer immediate mental effects than a whole whored of FDA approved medications, not to mention alcohol. If marijuana were legalized and accepted as something like ALCOHOL (age limits required, purchase with ID at special locations), its (fully justified) use would be seen as a non-issue. Since marijuana is so common and unharmful, it would be in everyone's best interest if it were legalized, de-stigmatized, and lost its correlations to all other drugs which are FAR more addictive and FAR more harmful, not to mention put you into another world The only reason marijuana is a ‘gateway’ drug is because of its labelization as a ‘drug’!
