Smoke generated from tobacco is harmful to lungs but there were no symptoms shown from smoking of marijuana. Some studies have found that use of marijuana has a positive effect on lung capacity. This is because inhaling the drug requires taking long and deep breaths. Long and deep breathe improves lung capacity. As the process of taking the drug involves long and deep breathes in and long and deep breathes out, it has a good effect on the lung. There is a slight chance that marijuana can be used to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease in which pressure on eyeball increases which damages the optic nerve and causes loss of vision.
