Hey man, the Dude here. You know a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found a strong association between cannabis use and periodontal disease in adults who were heavy youth pot smokers. In fact, regular ganja smokers are three times more likely to have periodontal disease by age 32 than non spliff users. So what is periodontal disease? It's an unholy infection of the tissues and bones that surround and support the teeth--gum disease man, gum disease.
In summary, major weed usage could lead to massive dental fail. So listen to the Dude, and step away from the bong from time to time.
