Patients suffering from ailments such as pain, sleep disorder and depression are being prescribed medical marijuana more and more by doctors all over the United States.

But, as per e report submitted by the European Journal of Immunology, the over usage of cannabis could make the immune system of the body become suppressed along with raising its susceptibility to some kinds of cancers and infections.

One research also shows that the use of marijuana is also known to cause damage to the immune system which exposes the body to a range of diseases like cancer and pneumonia.

During experiments one of the chemicals called THC which is the reason for the 'high' caused by marijuana, led to the production of flood cells which was thought to make the natural immune system of the body become weaker.

According to reports by the European Journal of immunology the results of the study suggest that cannabis also leads to an increased vulnerability to lungs, bladder, breast and several other tumors along with a range of bacterial infections like legionnaires.
