Marijuana contains THC which acts as a neurotransmitter affecting the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. Our brain naturally produces endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) CB1 and 2-AG which are vital in slowing breathing and heart rate and in general counteract the effects of adrenaline on the body after a fight or flight reaction. A rush of THC from smoking marijuana has the same calming effect, albeit temporary. There is no chemical difference between Marijuana bought illegally through a black market, and marijuana provided by clinics to be used medicinally, however purchasing anything through a black market carries it's own risks. Likewise smoking marijuana carries the same risks as smoking tobacco other types of cannabis. No study has ever shown THC kills brain cells or in any way damages the brain, in fact it simply mimics the effects of neurotransmitters produced by the brain naturally.
