PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — They are old questions that lead to old arguments. What does marijuana actually do to your body? And, are the benefits worth the risk?

In the second episode of our series examining the legal cannabis industry in Oregon, host Travis Box talks to Joseph Bubalo, a clinical pharmacist at Oregon Health and Sciences University. 

Bubalo explains, at length, what using marijuana actually does to your body, what good does come of it, and the real risks any user needs to consider. He also settles one of the biggest debates surrounding cannabis: Is marijuana addictive.
