So why are teenagers buy it off "responsible" adults?
Sure, you can make the argument all you want comparing side effects of other things, the truth is marijuana has side effects.
It causes brain damage in teenagers, it is addictive and it causes cancer, which has been proven time and time again.
If there was nothing harmful about marijuana, then why do people have to be advised?
Does marijuana have side effects or not?
Don't argue the comparison to other products, you are arguing the merits of marijuana. So it would only be fair to address the harmful side effect.
So does it or not have side effects that are negative, yes or no?

n a study (e-published ahead of print April 30, 2014 in Neurology) to learn more about the impact of smoking cannabis on cognition in people with MS, researchers looked at the association between cognitive deficits and brain activity in 20 people who regularly smoked cannabis (but had not done so for at least 12 hours) and 19 non-cannabis users. The participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while performing a memory test, which allowed the researchers to compare brain activity in the two groups. Participants were also given other tests of memory, information processing speed and attention. The results showed that people with MS who smoked cannabis performed less well on some of the cognitive tests and these findings were validated by fMRI results indicating abnormal patterns of brain activity during the performance of a memory task.
The study confirmed for the first time that cannabis can worsen cognitive problems in MS.
